The Tale Of The Family, The Key And The Cleveland Lock Tech
It was the end of the 20th century and a family fell in love with a car. That same family fell in love with a key. This story has elements of love, loss, frustration, necessity and relief. It has it all. The story is the tale of losing a key and finding a ford focus ignition and lock expert to take way to much money to replace it.
When my wife and I decided to move to the west coast with our one-year-old daughter, we needed a car. We hadn’t bought a new car yet and we were quite excited to get one. With a little money to our names, we went out looking. We needed something that was safe for our new family and large enough to haul most of what we owned across country comfortably. We found the new Chrysler Pacifica was perfect.
The car was great and had everything we needed and wanted. But, what was really great, was the key. It had buttons that opened the doors remotely, lifted the tail gate and dropped it remotely and started the car remotely. It also disabled the security system. It was quite a key.
We had a great trip across country and the automatic start and lift gate came in so very handy with the kid and the luggage keeping our arms and hands quite busy. However, once we got to Cleveland, we lost one of our keys. Rather, I lost my key as my wife will tell you.
The dealership would gladly replace it for an exorbitant fee. We loved all the features of the key not even considering that it cost so much to make it - $100 for a replacement. So, we made the decision to keep just the key we had and not get a new one.
So, we went on for years like that, trading the key and not loving it so much anymore. We even stated to resent it a bit. Then one day and another daughter later, we lost the other key or, as my wife will tell you, I lost the other key. We looked for days knowing what they key cost. We even looked outside of Chrysler and found local Cleveland lock techs that could make the key. It was even more expensive and not a factory original.
Well, we couldn’t find it and we needed to drive so, we resigned ourselves to getting a new key. When the Cleveland lock tech came, he actually gave us a deal and we got two keys for almost the price of one. Chrysler wouldn’t have done that for us. However, the new keys didn’t have all the buttons, they couldn’t lift the lift gate or disable the alarm. So, now whenever we enter the car, the alarm goes off and we have to start the engine to disable it.
Needless to say, we didn’t love this key. We didn’t even really love the car anymore or Chrysler for that matter. Once we finally got the keys made, our daughter came to us with a present she had wrapped and hid. We opened it and it was the key. We were shocked but we still love her.
