Occasionally (sometimes once per month, sometimes a couple times per week), my 2009 Rogue does nothing when I turn the key. Doesn't even seem like it's attempting to turn over. I take the key out, open the door, put the key in...nothing. After a couple times of doing this it will start. Dealer says can't fix unless they can duplicate problem. When it happens it's inconvenient to take it in. It always starts eventually, but it's driving me a little batty.
Anyone else see this?

Re: Buggy Starting (wendellg)
Exactly what happened to me.
Don't know if it is similar to your situation.
But this happened a few years after I purchased a new Nissan Maxima. I found that putting in neutral allowed me to start the car. I thought something was loose, a wire perhaps? I don't know.
But it was not loose enough that I could't start it for the next decade of owning it. Ended up enjoying that car for over 16 years.
Reason I never took it in to fix it is because I didn't want them to tear my car down and potentially mess something up.
In my case, if it wouldn't start. WHICH was annoying at first. I just place in neutral. Never really bothered me. As long as it started. When it wouldn't start in the park position.
I would place in neutral and 100% of the time, the vehicle would start. Got use to it, that it seem natural whenever I needed to go to neutral to start car. I say I have to go to neutral once or twice a year in beginning and half a dozen times during the latter years.

It might be ur nutreal safety switch in the ignition making it hard to start at times if the part is going bad
