Kind of a meaningless figure since you don?t indicate the currency
Go to GM and ask for a cheaper key...

They dont all fail in a couple of years, everything fails eventually... I'm sure there's a lot of 2004 keys here that are still working fine.

After a certain amount of time the keys stop charging hence a new key
178 in USD is cheap. Suck it up. The keys for my Prius were about $400 USD new (inc. ECU programming). You could have looked on eBay for cheaper ones...
