I got this for $17 dollars, The key machines in the stores want to charge me $29 for 1 key. The cylinder needed changing our anyway so this was much cheaper than even getting 1 key made.

Our vehicle (Chevy impala)repeatedly kept shutting the car down by setting off the security feature whenever the key would be placed into the ignition. This required a 10 minute reset process before we could try to turn the car on again. We replaced the ignition switch and haven’t had the issue since! The switch fit perfectly, was very simple to replace, and is performing as we expected. It is well made and we would purchase it again in a heartbeat. It is sooo worth sparing ourselves the headache of having to reset the car system every other time we tried to start it.

I have been a backyard mechanic for most of my life. Replacing a simple ignition lock cylinder should not be this hard. Installation was the easy part. Programming or "relearning" the new switch the vehicle theft deterrent system is not that hard either. Except when it fails to work. How to get the cylinder to relearn is a simple process and steps are all over the internet. I went thru the 30 minute process 3 different times before I realized that the the part is defective. To anyone with this issue here is your first step. Take your VIN to the dealership and have them cut you a new key. If you have to get a new cylinder, order from somewhere other than here.

Works great 👍🏼

Wonderful 👏 xheap

I had a problem-- recall on my 2003 malibu- key would not "shut off"-- dealer wanted $400 to fix it. I found this- bought it for less than $35-- and put it in myself in less than 15 minutes!!!! It only goes in ONE way-- no problems...

Bought for 2004 Chevy Malibu not a car guy but east to instal worked perfect.

Ignition went out in my 01 Monte Carlo, removed the old one and replaced it with this one, and followed the 30-minute passlock relearn procedure and it worked great!! key turns flawlessly and works everytime. This will save you a ton of money!! Easily do-able by yourself in about 2 hours.A little tip about the passlock relearn, is make sure all the doors are closed and the trunk is closed before beginning. Great part for the price!!
