I forcefully turned the key in the ignition and the plastic part broke off from the metal key. When I got another key and inserted it into the ignition switch it worked fine.

Glad you found the problem. That is a new one on me. I have never heard of the chip going bad. They are usually bullet proof -- the key fob battery, yes, but the chip? I'll have to try and remember that one.

Thanks for letting us know what the problem was.
