I've had my car for almost two years and recently noticed that my ignition key gets extremely hot after driving. It can be a 5 minute drive or much longer and the key is scalding hot when taken out of the ignition. I am taking the car in to the dealership to get checked out. It seems like there must be some sort of bad high-current connection in the ignition that is heating up the switch which is heating up the key. Hopefully, they will install a new ignition switch assembly.

Has anyone experienced this? What was the fix? Did they try to tell you it was "normal" for the key to get so hot?

Hi,

Whenever I put my keys in the ignition and take them out after a while they get hot. I took my car to the Honda dealer and they said that the car was fine after the service, so i took my car back home and I took my keys out and touched them and they were very hot once again, so I called the Honda dealer again and they said it was because the car was new system, design and computer chips , but i don't think this is normal for a new car. I was wondering if anyone else has this same problem 2013 ?

Thanks
