    Anyone else got problem with their key barrel in VR/VS? Like gotta turn the key a few times to start the car?

    I've just installed a push button start on my car cause it was pissing me off!!

    I would be getting the battery replaced in your key and just make sure the contacts on the key and key barrel are clean.

    also sometimes (in the autos ;)) you may need to push the stick up further than park, and turn the key again. this is pretty common.

    New Key!

    I had this problem for a while. Car would not turn over. Push the unlock button on the key, and it would start but give me the engine warning light.

    Replaced the key head, and problem has not happened again.
