Default Problem starting

For awhile now my security light comes on while driving and then goes out by itself. Also sometimes the car won't start. Turn the key and nothing. If I contuously turn the key off and on, it will eventually start. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. The car is a 2K Z/28.

Doesn't the security thing come on to prevent someone from stealing the car without the key? I could be wrong, but I thought it would "kill" the car and prevent it from running. Sounds like that's the problem. Maybe you should take it to the dealer and get a new key.

I have the same problem. I thought it might be the key but the second key won't work either. I have left the car and come back later and it starts. Resetting the alarm several times has worked. I had this problem three times last weekend and now it's fine. Go figure.
