No real good theory, but the reason I thought this might have been the problem is that the ML keys just haven't proven to be the most rugged. They just fail quite a bit. Supposed to be especially prone to damage after being dropped.
Kind of reminds me of this one kid (college kids, I call them "kids" generically) with I think it was a C class new enough to have a Smartkey. Standing around the service entrance, waiting for the service writer I imagine. Has the keys in his hands (DUH why even pull the key, you're standing by the car in the service entrance, I THINK it's safe to leave the key in!) and anyways was like "tossing" the keys up and down in his hand. Now, I don't know the level of this kids motor skills, but one think I DO know is that if you're tossing your keys up and down, you MIGHT not want to stand on the floor drain. Uh huh, RIGHT into the floor drain, and this was a BIG honkin drain too, probably 10 feet deep and 3 or 4 feet across. PLOOP!
