Saw this same question from another message board. So it appears to happen....could it get hot enough to cause a fire?

My corolla did that and so does this car. After driving to ottawa, the key was warm. I don\'t think you should be concerned.

Yeah I have noticed this aswell. especially on hot days the key hurts to touch.

As long as you don\'t own an F-Series for pick-up truck or Aerostar you have nothing to worry about.

Hehehe I\'ve owned both those ford vehicles. The keys got super hot, but not enough I think to start a fire. However after some time you could remove the key from the ignition without having to turn it off. :p
