Well, let me tell ya, I got myself into a real pickle the other day. You won’t believe it, but I locked my keys in my 2002 S55 AMG, and wouldn’t ya know it, the darn thing was still running! Locked keys in car, can you imagine? I felt like a real fool, let me tell ya.
It all started when I was getting ready to go to the grocery store. I had my list all written out, got my purse, and headed out to the car. I hopped in, started her up, and then realized I forgot my reusable bags back in the house. Silly me, right? So, I jump out, leaving the car running – figured I’d be right back, no big deal. But wouldn’t ya know it, as soon as I shut the door, click! The doors locked. And there I was, standing outside my running car, keys dangling inside, looking like a lost goose.
Now, this ain’t no ordinary car, mind you. It’s a 2002 S55 AMG, a real fancy one. But let me tell ya, fancy or not, it ain’t got no brain of its own. 2002 Mercedes S55 AMG key issues, they call it. I’ve heard other folks havin’ trouble with these keys before. Seems like these keys got a mind of their own sometimes. Delayed unlock, delayed start, the whole shebang. I guess it was my turn for some car key trouble.
Cars started linin’ up behind me, honkin’ their horns. I swear, those city folk got no patience. I had to go tell each one of ‘em what happened. “Locked out!” I yelled. “Can’t you see?” Some were understanding, some just rolled their eyes. One fella even offered to help, tried jigglin’ the handle and all. Bless his heart, but it wasn’t no use. This S55 AMG key fob thing is a real pain, I tell ya.
So there I was, stuck. I didn’t know what to do. My phone was in the house, of course. So I had to walk all the way back to call for help. I called up AAA, you know, the auto club folks. They said they’d send someone out, but it would be a while. Meanwhile, my car is just sittin’ there, burnin’ gas and makin’ a racket.
- Car key problems, I tell ya, they’re the worst.
- Especially when your car keeps running even without the key.
- Makes you wonder about these fancy cars and their fancy technology.
Finally, after what felt like forever, the AAA guy showed up. Nice young fella, he was. He got to work right away, fiddlin’ with some tools and wires. Took him a good while, but he finally managed to unlock the door. I was so relieved, I coulda kissed him! He said something about the ignition switch or somethin’ bein’ the problem. Honestly, I didn’t understand half of what he was sayin’. All I cared about was gettin’ my car back.
He told me that sometimes these older cars have problems with the binding steering column/lock or even just a bad ignition key. He also said that a dead battery could mess things up too. Said somethin’ about the key fob getting out of sync with the car, especially if you walk too far away or the battery’s low in the key. Heck, I don’t know. All that sounds like gibberish to me. All I know is, it cost me time and a good bit of worry.
Now, I’ve learned my lesson, let me tell ya. I always keep a spare key hidden somewhere now. And I sure as heck don’t leave the car running when I get out, even if it’s just for a second. Don’t want to go through that again. Troubleshooting 2002 S55 AMG key issues ain’t somethin’ I want to make a habit of. It’s enough to drive a person batty!
So, if you got an older car, especially one of them fancy Mercedes, be careful, I tell ya. These things can happen to anyone. And if you do find yourself locked out with your car running, don’t panic. Just call for help and wait it out. It ain’t the end of the world, even if it feels like it at the time. And for goodness sake, keep an extra key handy! You never know when you’re gonna need it.
And if you are in Trenton, NJ or around there, I hear there’s some good locksmiths around. Like that Jefferson Locksmith or BucksLocks. Someone even mentioned Sanders Lock Shop or accurate locksmith service, or even Xpress local locksmith. Just in case, mind you, just in case. It’s better to be prepared than stranded, that’s what I always say. And make sure to check the key fob battery and try to stay close to your car when using the remote. Those little things can make a big difference.
