Default 'Please Remove Key' Message

I just recently started getting the message 'Please Remove Key' the majority of the time when I put the key in the ignition. I can start the car without removing the key, just really annoying message to show up all of the time. The dealer has already replaced the ignition switch without any luck. They ordered another part today, didn't mention the actual part but kind of feel like they are just throwing parts at the problem to see if it goes away.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Have you tried the other key? My first thought was the key was damaged somehow. Just curious if you had the same issue with both keys. Hate to have the techs tearing your car apart if its just a bad key.

Good Idea, I have not tried to switch the keys. I'll try that out for the next week and see if it makes a difference.

It is still displaying the same message after switching the keys, I am setup to go get the other part replaced next week hopefully this resolves the issue.

I have this error too. What did you determine the issue was?
