The first thing I would do is have another key made. Don't have your key copied, it will just be another copy of a worn out key. Take the title to the dealer and they can use there key code cutter that takes the vin number and makes a new key using their key code machine which will make a fresh key that may save you replacing the whole tumbler assembly. If they have a chipped key that costs a lot, have them make a cheap key first that will turn the ignition but not start the car. That way you will know a chipped key will work before spending a bunch of money.
