I guess it would be too soon to tell if the new ones crack yet. Anyone have any experiences with the new design cracking?

The new design has smaller pads that move when pushed, and the face does not flex like the old design. The new one should not break (I hope). Roger

One of my keys cracked exactly like this when my car was only 3 months old. Dealer replaced under warranty

I have two cracks as well, both are on the unlock portion of the key, one being in the same exact spot. I wonder how this even happened? Perhaps I should try to get it replaced under warranty as it appears to be a design flaw...
