my friends 04 xle hhad this problem. he eventually got it out though. a temp solution til you get it out is just leave it in there and use the keyless. i know people that do that anyways..

yea just upgrade ur insurance and deal with it until it either gets fixed on its own or gets stollen. either way ur gunna end up with a working new car.

damn...It's not like you broke it! It's poor craftmanship..Sorry to say! I hope that shit doesn't happen to me...

If you manage to get the key out inspect it closely. It could be bent or damaged. If not, the lock cylinder itself is damaged.

A locksmith usually has much better pricing. Try giving them a call.

I had my whole lock cylinder replaced on my old '95 Corolla when I couldn't get my key in for around $80.
