I have a problem with one key that I want to understand.

Half the time with the key in the ignition it won't turn out of "0". The other half of the time, no issue. Just at the moment, it won't turn. The key has no issue in the door lock.

I tried the other key fob, and it works fine.

Looking at the FAQ and the stuck key threads, I'm guessing it is the RFID in the key, and not the ignition lock or the immobilizer antenna ring. So maybe I replace the key, but I don't have to replace anything else. Am I on the right track?

Nope, key should always turn
Try buffing the key. If you don't have a way to do it, go to a locksmith and have them buff the edges
