Replying to: neanderbob (Dec 17, 2007 6:18 am) This happened to my Rio 5 also. To make a long story short, we figured out it was the Keys. They security chip in the key failed and needed to be reprogrammed. We figured this out when I decided to bring my spare key to the repair shop in case they needed to replace the ignition but when they tried starting it with the spare key it started with no problem. Tried again with the first key, it wouldn't start. Then with the spare and it started.
