Spare tire Key lock ate my key :(

[edgaranah1]

This happened to me about 3 weeks ago. My ignition key wouldn't unlock the dam spare lock. Luckily it didn't brake though. Had my truck towed when I got home I had to take the bumper cover off to get the lock out. Now I have to go get a key made for it. Dam I wonder if this is only for the yukons haven't heard it happen on any tahoes. .

The $50 was for the chip key. You have to program the key to your vehicle afterwards which takes forever. I wish they would just make a deep well in the trunk instead of putting it under the vehicle where its exposed to the harsh winter weather. My yukon is an 07 and the spare tire looked as if it came off of a jeep from vietnam. SawZall cut the lock right off, the GM dealer had never heard of a lock fail like that.. just like they had never seen a cracked dash which Ill never get fixed
