Nothing like your vehicle refusing to start.....

Yeah.....

Have you test driven one?

Nope, I didn't even consider it when I was looking 1.) I don't buy first year models 2.) sticker shock, comparable equipped Tundra was $6500 more than my Titan and that was not even including the factory rebate.

Some of those keys have a "chip" in them that the car "reads" so that you can't steal the vehicle with a copy. That makes a replacement key cost around $60. I'm not sure if a malfunction would prevent you from actually turning the ignition or if it would just prevent the starting circuit from being completed. For all you know the guys at the dealership just wacked the mechanism with a rubber mallet to fix it. If you can read up on it so that you know what to do next time.

One last update...

Went and picked up the truck today and spoke to the service manager and he said they ordered a new ignition switch just to be on the safe side.
