I have a 2001 Chrysler Concorde! Last night I could not get the key to turn. I left the car at work and I went back this morning and managed to get the key to turn by tapping lightly on the lock cylinder with a hammer!! Now, I got the cylinder out and when I am holding it in my hand it turns freely every time! If I pop it back in the cylinder housing it jams again! What is going on? Can someone help me out with this?
A good locksmith around here said he would rebuild the cylinder for $100 but I don't think that will fix my problem especially that the cylinder works fine when it is outside the housing!!
