It was working fine and out of the blue it stopped working. It has on of those smart keys but the lock/unlock buttons work and the light comes on inside the car but as soon as I put the "key" in the ignition the msg on the cluster says " "take key out" and the ignition switch wont turn at all. that key came new from deler less than a year ago . any suggestions please?

Sounds like you have a key issue going on due to the message. Since the key is so new, give the dealer a call to see if it's under warranty...

Dealer says I have to take the car in for them to find out the problem, I know thats going to cost me big bucks. Ive heard is possible to make the car relearn the key if it unprogramed by itself i just dont know how to do it.

Sure you can. All you need is the $80,000 scan tool they have to do it with. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
