Post Sticky ignition switch?

Lately when i start the truck, the key sticks ever so little. I'm wondering if it's the switch. The truck is only 6 months old.

MY key would stick in the ignition and would not turn sometimes! i thought i was going to have to replace the key switch? i always use my remote to lock my doors one day i used my key to unlock my door and it was sticking also? i went and had me a key made and it solved my problem it doesnt stick anymore the key was getting wore down causing it not to fit proper. I dont know if this is your trouble? but it was mine! Hope this helps?

The key doesn't really stick, it just feels tight when i turn it. Hard to explain.Maybe i'm being ****.

Take it in an get the dealer to fix it. The lock cylinder has a compressed fit metal piece that eventually will loosen if the thing is tight, then you will have real problems. Also, I'm not sure but I think the switch is down by your feet and a rod pushes the switch, this could be a problem too. Don't wait.
