So I would turn the key to the off position and the car would started right up on the second try. Would anyone know what the cause of this? I had previously asked the dealer. They told me it could possibly be the key, or the transponder, or the DMS issue. Anyone want to take a guess?

Any of the key, transponder, ignition switch itself, or EWS system. Others have reported that these same symptoms were resolved by replacement of the IVM (Integrated Power Supply). Not sure what the DMS issue is.
Many of these modules can be expensive. Recommend you get the codes read for the fault you are having before replacing random parts.
