I moved the key fob closer and closer to the instrument panel, eventually resting it in the hole next to the push to start switch. Every time I pressed the switch to start the car that darn green key light on the dash kept flashing at me, as if the car wasn't recognizing the key. After going thru the routine at least 10 times and wasting nearly half an hour, the car finally started and the green flashing light on the dash went out.
What the heck happened? When the push start button doesn't work how are we supposed to start the car? Why have a key that pulls out of the key fob if the only place one can use it is in the door or the trunk lid? Anybody else experience this dilemna? I am mistified but really don't ever want this to happen again and I don't ever want to have to take it to a dealership for any warranty or any other work.
Thanks ahead of time for any constructive comments, suggestions.

Pete, I believe when the keyfob is not recognized, you need to actually rest the keyfob in contact with the pushbutton, then push the button in.
