Yes, its not uncommon. Check first to see if the security light is on, on the dash. This will indicate a passlock problem in the ignition system.

Possible a bad computer chip on your car igition key or you may have to get a mechanic to reset the sequrity code for you. Try a different ignition key before you do anything else. The chip is that little black thing that's on the side of your key. I had a mechanic bypass my security in the ignition.

The Aurora has a VATS ignition and either the contacts in the ignition lock are bad, the wires from the lock to the computer are broken or the VATS chip in your key is dirty or the contacts in the ignition lock is dirty and not making connection with the chip in the key.

It could be as simple as replacing the ignition key. Each key has a chip that comunicates directly with the car. If the chip goes bad, the car's starter will turn over, but the engine will not start. There is no after market key that will work. You must purchase them from a dealer. Costly little buggers, roughly around $150....... what kind of vehicle is this?
