My wife has had the same ignition freezing twice now on her Dodge. After the first time a mechanic told her that it was because her keys were too heavy. (She is one of those who collects key chain doo-hickeys, her keys weigh like 20 pounds) So, the second time, she got rid of all the extra's on her key chain once it started happening and it stayed stiff for about two months before going completely inoperable, where the first time it went from stiff to inoperable in less than a week. $350? You are getting ripped off. I did it myself each time, and I hate working with cars. It took maybe 3 hours and cost under 25$ for the part and under 25$ for the tool. Of course, mine is a dodge, so maybe they are easier? Although, it definitely was NOT easy. Had to take apart the whole steering column and half the instrument panel to get to the thing.
