What is strange to me is the car refuses to try to crank. No clicking sound, it just doesn't even try. When you put your key into position 2 right before the start position does your car show that the car is in Park? Cause mine doesn't know if the shifter is in park or neutral or any gear for that matter. It does recognize that i put it in sport mode though as the indicator light on the console reflects that change.

I'm desperately in need of help I have no car for a week almost and I'm not finding much hope here.
Not sure if it is or not. After I charged mine overnight it would still start but the voltage on the battery was about 10 1/2 volts.

Snce our cars are computer driven with sensors sensitive to voltage this could easily wack out a system.

Try checking your voltage before you start should be 12 1/2 to 13.25 volts. Then check when your engine is running and it should be approx 14 1/2 volts (alternator charging). Or charge your battery and take it to get tested.

I never noticed if the park light is on in position "2" I will check that later.
