1. So my car didn't start.
2. Radio and air would.
4. Strange buzzing noise.
5. 79XX miles/GT
6. Foggy morning
7. What else would you need to know, lol?
Starts fine and only happened once. Just like to know what happened.
EDIT- I turned the key far enough!! Tried with card key then the actual key.
EDIT2- 2007 MT
Thanks for all the input guys!

It can most likely be from a battery issue or possibly the terminals (which was the culprit in my case).
I had this issue on an extremely hot day - which led to my battery being dead for some reason.

Well it hasn't happened since. I'll give the battery and terminals a once over and clean em to be safe. If the flywheel didn't catch then I would imagine there would be damage that would affect the car in a noticeable way or would possibly happen again.

Yeah....
My battery terminals didn't even look that corroded or anything. However, they did appear to be tight - but the negative terminal moved ever-so-slightly when pulled on.
After I tightened it down - it has never given me an issue again. Well....until the battery itself was actually no good (later tested to be out of the efficiency range)......then I just replaced with an Optima Red Top with no problems to date.

Search "clutch switch" on the forums - especially if you have an 04/05, they were prone to breaking. My dealer replaced mine when i had the same problem (my problem was worse though, it wouldnt try to turn over approx 40% of the time).
I'm talkin about the the switch on the clutch pedal that let's the computer know that the clutch is depressed, it's a safety feature.

car year?
My bet is the battery
and eikeddle? why an Optima Red Top?
Wally world has a much better deal
Maxx 24FS
700cca, 875 Amp at 32degrees F
3 year full warranty, 75 bux
and battery fits in the battery box, no doing anything else, ie that thingy the optima needs cause it a bit short.
