When I bought this car a few months ago the only key I got was a copied key. I knew it worked just fine in the ignition, but since it was in a garage I never saw the need to lock it. Now I am finding that the key doesn't work in the door locks. I haven't tried the trunk. The guy at the dealership said the same key should work for all. Is there any part of the anti-theft system or electrical door lock system that could cause this , or do I need to get a new key from the dealership. Also, all the lock cylinders are origional.
i know when i got my car i got two keys with it. The regular one worked on all the door locks, trunk, ignition, and glovebox and the valet key only works in the doors and the ignition. i would go to the dealer and get one made. i had another one made at the dealer it was like $14.

It might be a valet key or a copy of the valet key. I would go to the dealership, pay my $20 and get a key made, try all the locks and go from there.
screw paying for it. i'd go back to the dealer you bought it from and get them to make you a full-fledged key, at their expense since they were the du-masses that screwed up to begin with. i hate it when businesses try to make you pay for their mistake.

I just remembered that the key works in a glove compartment lock. I forgot to try the trunk still . In the doors its acts like it wants to move but it cant. Its almost a really firm elastic feeling....
same here, but i think my lock is screwed up. it sticks when it's cold out, but when it's nice and toasty the key will unlock it. now sure what that's all about??
