Starting/beeping problems

[rlcraig59]

Ok checked out the forum and did not get the exact answer I was looking for. So here goes. I have a 2007 Versa sl 4dr sedan autotrans w/7500k miles purchased Sept 07. My wife and I bought 2 indentical Versa's at the same time. Her Versa has had none of the problems I have had with mine. Right from the begining I had a starting problem. The ingniton is locked and wont turn. Even the hard key wont turn when inserted.

One, I have kept my cell phone and ikey seperate(never in same pocket etc.). Two, I have had my battery replaced in Ikey. Three, Steering wheel is not jammed in locked position(I have jiggled and turned steering wheel per manual suggestions)

To get it to start I have to do things at once. I have to jiggle/rattle the stick shift AND using the ikey lock and unlock the car. Neither one of these things work by themselves. TRUST ME

Now sometime it take 10 15 seconds, sometime 5 10 minutes.I read one thread that said this normal and it just fact you have to live with.I DONT THINK SO.

Dealer said to have it towed down to him when it happens. Of course when I did TWICE it worked fine when they tried to start it.

ALSO my car beebs at me ALOT. No not the headlight beeb that one is constant beeb. Never left my ikey in ingnition or in carI get two kinds of beebs.One, when I lock my car using the button on my rest arm of my door and after closing my door the doors unlock and I hear rapid (6 or7) beeps.Two, closing my door and three slow beeps.I have jiggle/rattled the ingnition swith,steering wheel, and any other thing I can think of and STILL beeps

Beeps and starting problem does not seem to coincide, more beeps(5/10 times a week) than starting problems(2/3 times a week)

My wifes car has never beeped at her.

Dealer in nice about it but he says he cant fix what he cant see/hear is broken.

Any Ideas?

Sounds like you might have a bad park position sensor.

I'm not sure what to say about the beeps, sorry.

Beeps:

The multiple beeps I believe think that the Ikey is still in the car when you are trying to lock it from the outside. Possibly you may have it in your pocket closest to the door or something, take a 1/2 step back and hit the button on the door.

Only time I hear the other beeps is when I forgot to hit the 'unlock' on the ignition to turn the ignition complete off. If this is the case that could be the cause of the other beeps too.

My car is having the same starting problems. The actual key will not turn. This happens randomly. Sometimes it will start within 5 minutes, sometimes it takes hours for it to start. What did you find out about this problem? My car is in the shop and they cannot find anything wrong with it.
