Car won't start - Who else is having this problem
My 2k SE on occasion does nothing when the key is turned over. No clicking, just silence. On the 4th or 5th try it will start normally. Lately it has taken many trys to get it to light and putting it into nuetral seems to help.
Anyone else experienceing this and knows what the problem might be? I've reported it to my deater to get it in their system if something should fail when the car is out of warantee.

it wont start on the first try every so often. it's been like that since i got the car. seems like many people have this problem, but your case sounds pretty bad.

You don't have another transponder on your key ring, do you?

mike-777,
have you checked the water levels in the battery? the factory maxima battery needs maintenance.

Assuming you have an automatic it's probably the switch in the shifter that detects whether the car is in park or not. There was a thread about this before. Here's a post that gives a fairly reproduceable test so you can show it to the dealer and get them to fix it (hopefully under warranty).
