Ill side effects??.....anyone else with a "shaved" key can end up getting into your car & taking your car.

How it's caused. It's due to the excessive weight placed on tumblers inside the ignition key cylinder. Most people carry a shitload of keys with them on one keyring. They will then place the vehicle's ignition key inside the ignition switch with all that extra weight dangling from the ignition switch With time, the small springs that hold the key & the tumblers in place tend to weaken, letting the key come out rather easily.
How to fix it? Replace the ignition switch & ONLY insert the ignition key into it....don't dangle any additional weight / keys from the keyring.
Anyhow, hope this helps...
