Key Blade Wobble

Peugeot decided to try something different in the early 2000s. Instead of the traditional kind of carbon encased transponder chips they introduced a flip key design. The new design was not without its problems. One of the most significant is the key blade wobble. This problem occurs when the blade on a key wears away, which is the part of the key that goes into the lock. This causes the silver button inside the key to stop turning the mechanism, and the key ceases to feed into the lock correctly.

This change has introduced four major issues, each of which can stop your Peugeot key from starting your car.
