I recall reading posts on the forums of bad ignition switches especially from persons who had put too many heavy keys and things on their keyrings. The weight did the damage over time. The reports were more about not being able to turn the key though. [:I]

I would like to add something to what 2step said. This is very true and I have been guilty of this in the past. A veteran car dealer pointed out to me that using a key attached to anything with any weight (like a big, fat key ring loaded with keys like I had) would definitely damage the ignition switch and could cause all sorts of related problems - most of them electrical.
Needless to say, I stopped doing that and now detach my Cruiser keys from the ring when I drive. It was a bad habit from the past - something I had to change.
