After a few years of use, it's not uncommon for keys to break. If your key is damaged in the lock, you'll need to replace it. However, if the rest the key is still in good condition you might be able to repair it.

The buttons can also wear out, which is a common reason why a fob stops functioning. When you press the button on your fob, the contacts inside transmit coded signals to the receiver inside your car to communicate the actions you would like the key to complete. If the contacts on your key fob are damaged, you may not be in a position to press the button or it might send a different signal than the one you wanted.
