Transponder keys contain microchips that are embedded in the majority of modern cars.

This is a type of security technology that is frequently used in modern times. It is an effective theft deterrent. Transponder chips can be prone to problems, just like any other technology.
A key that stops working for some reason is a very frustrating situation, especially when there's no physical damage to the chip or the key.
