Maybe you sucked on it one time after doing tequila shots and just forgot.

My your dealer will duplicate under warranty.

i just spent about 30-45 mins cleaning it i used a bunch of cleaners that didnt work then i used a blade and scraped and scraped and i think i got most of it off.

The rust probably worked its way under the chrome plating on the key. I'd get it duped because it'll most likely rust again real soon.

Damn, now MB even got a lemon on a key??

Keep your hands out of something that's wet... Ever get your keys wet???? They tell you not to! Ding Ding Ding

Who cares? its a *** valet key. I think some people consume themselves with trying to find things to complain about.

How often do you even use the thing?

I suggest you go back to the dealer and request a new one, and make sure you demand a loaner car for your inconvenience.

A key just rusts by itself, yeah I believe that one LOSER. Keep your keys dry

Hey don't worry about it, had the same problem with mine too, manufacturing problem, they'll replace it.... And to all you who thinks you don't need it, I did...

I was locked out of my car and had to use the valet key because the key was in the ignition.

Hey, relax man, keys are designed to be weather proof, which includes getting wet. The chrome plating should've protected it from rusting, but it must of found a chip to work its way underneath and rust it out. Like I said earlier, just get it duped. With the chrome plating gone, it'll rust again very quickly.

OK... please tell me how u did that?
I spent a whole day trying to lock the car with the keys inside... I couldn't do it. unless I get out of a window whith the engine running!!!!

Or get out of the car, close your driver door, leave the passenger door open, lock the doors, throw the keys in and close the passenger door.. make sure you have a spare on you and the valet key works

Oil Change

Interesting...
