No problem with the lock itself, just the worn ignition switch. Replaced the original Genuine Volvo switch with the OEM quality Kostal switch from FCPEuro -looks virtually identical. I've occasionally had problems with key wear affecting door locks first and later the ignition. When getting a new key, it's best to have a Volvo Parts counter punch out a new key using the key code rather than the traditional method of having a worn key traced onto a new blank using a key cutting grinder. Having said that, I ran into one dealer who obviosuly had a worn die punch set as we had to burnish the keys heavily to get them to work properly.
