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.
A few years ago, I moved my family - my wife, my one-year-old daughter and myself out to Cleveland. To do this, we needed a car and we were delighted to by our first new car. We had a bit of cash and we went searching for a car that could carry our family and all our luggage from New York to LA. We also needed something good looking and safe. We found the brand new Chrysler Pacific and bought it.
What really sold us were not just the features of the car itself but the features of the key. This key could not only open and close doors, but lift the lift gate and drop it, set the security and start the car from quite a distance. We loved this key.
Our adventure was a grand one. We used the key quite often and wondered what we would have done without it’s abilities given all the stuff we were always toteing. But, when we arrived in LA, it wasn’t long before a key was lost. My wife will tell you I lost it.
Chrysler told us that the key would be $100 to replace. That is why it was so full of features, it cost a fortune. We couldn’t afford it so we resigned ourselves to only having one key and trading off.
That worked out for quite a trading the key back and forth when we drove the car. But, needless to say, we started to resent the key. It was no longer love. Then, that dreaded day came, the day we lost the other key. Or, rather, I lost the other key. Now, we had to dole out the money for a new one. The dealer could do it but we thought we could get one cheaper at a local Cleveland lock tech. That was not the case.
But, we needed it so we bit the bullet and hired the Cleveland lock tech. He was better than Chrysler because he gave us a deal and we got two keys for a great price. They wouldn’t have done that at the dealer I am sure. But, the lock tech could only make a plain key. It had no features, couldn’t open anything or start the car remotely. It even set off the alarm whenever we got in the car and we had to start it to turn the alarm off.
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.
