Your Car Key Could Cost You Money

By Linda Tancs

Is your car key “smart”?  It is if it contains embedded electronics designed to disable your car in the event of an attempted theft.  That’s a good thing, right?  Of course, it is–until you lose or damage your smarty pants key and the locksmith can’t duplicate it without access to the key’s code, and it’s a Saturday night.  Is your dealer open 24/7?  If the American Automobile Association has its way, each state will require auto manufacturers to make this information available to consumers around the clock so you needn’t waste your time or your money.  Check out www.aaa.com for more information or ask your local legislator.
