I am at a loss to understand what is happening with my new key!
If one starts the engine then shuts it off but leaves the key in the "ignition" lets call it the EIS "hole" , then tries to start the engine again it does NOTHING!
Turning the key to position 2 the power goes on to the instruments but it does not actuate the the starter!
I thought it was a glitch or something when I filled up diesel but then I mentioned it to my wife who has been driving the car and she said it happened to her but she forgot to tell me.
If one removes the key then puts it back in the car starts fine.

The old key never did this.

Has anyone experienced this on a Benz?
I have the 2 year warranty on it but before I run back and try to return it I want to know if it normal or not. BTW I didn't even get a box for my $400 key much less any kind of instructions.
