Dealer won’t allow me to return the key for a refund or make a warranty claim on it. I’m really just frustrated because nothing they are saying is making sense to me

I was told this is the fifth key on this EWS, which also doesn’t make any sense to me because again, they said they were unable to read it. Everything they are saying is inconsistent
