Mine does that sometimes too. I just move it around a little bit until I find the right spot.

Youll probably need to replace the lock

Sounds like your lock is worn out. Did you lube it twice a year like you are supposed to?

It sounds like your key is worn. I had the same problem. A local locksmith was able to make me a new key by examining the worn key and making an educated guess as to the original pattern of ridges and valleys. Of course you can also have a new one made from the dealer if you have the key code. Your easiest solution is to replace the lock and key. You can get a complete set of new door locks, trunk lock and storage compartment locks or just the trunk lock from Classic Industries.

If the lock is shot u dont need to buy a whole new set of keys, You can take the new lock down to a locksmith and they can rekey it to the key u have. no need to replace all of them.
