Re: What is the best way to avoid future ignition key stuck prolem ? S60 2001

I understand where you're coming from and it all makes sense not to put too much weight and undue stress on the cylinder but this is a problem that I have experienced myself on my Volvo. The cylinder on Volvos (or maybe just 850s) seem to be fragile and more susceptible to damage is what I'm trying to get at. Other family members hang a few extra keys along with a keychain on their cars (a MB and BMW) and they have never had a problem with the cylinders on those cars whereas all it took to break the cylinder on my Volvo was a remote fob, car key, and small keychain (very small & not heavy at all I might add). Maybe it's a random failure but the fact that another poster has had the same problem suggests otherwise.
