I can't tell you how bad I was freaking out the day my van decided to not let my key turn.  I had just drove it a couple of hours earlier and it was fine.  I had no idea what to do, all kinds of thoughts going through my head, especially, how am I going to get to work tomorrow.  So my boyfriend decides to google the problem and wow, I had no idea alot of people are having the same exact problem.  Well, here I am about a month later and I have tried oil to help the problem, which was no help.  I don't have to hit the key with a mallet or screwdriver handle anymore, just a few knocks with my hand does the trick.  Guess I'm stuck doing that for a while, til I can afford to replace the darn thing.  My only question is, if so many people are having the same problem with the key cylinder, then why hasn't Dodge started a recall?  I don't understand.
