Any Toyota 4 Runner owners here? I TT owns one, maybe he can help... Anyway, My ignition won't turn over every time like it should. I have to remove the key and repeat over 10 times to get it to Finlay turn over. My wife drives it the most and is pregnant, I don't want her getting stuck some where and not being able to start it. I will be taking it in on Monday to get it checked out, but thought maybe one of you guy's have seen this before and I could fix it my self instead of getting bent over.

used to have that problem with my car...turns out it had a security function built into ignition switch and sometimes i would put key in and nothing...then i would take key out,wait about 2 minutes(until security light went out) then it would start..it has something to do with that chip on the side of your key..
