Have you tried pushing forward on the shifter while attempting to start it? Or putting it in neutral then trying to start it?

I have had a similar issue. I researched this for a while and found that for me it was a sensor associated in the transmission. Like what was mentioned above the trick worked every time.

I had this happen last week. Mine turned out to be a short in the battery that completely fried it, so it wouldn't even jump start. BUT while researching I found that some of the keys with chips in em have had issues and needed to be reprogrammed/software update
