Help... 2014 Optima LX.
Intermittent starting problem. Put the key in, turn it to start nothing happens. Lights on dash and all that do come on. Turn key to off, then turn key to start, car starts. Sometimes it starts the first time, sometimes you have to turn the key 3 or 4 times. Nothing else is required to get it to start, no brake pedal, no shifting to neutral. Just keep turning the key until it starts. I can't reproduce it on demand. It's just seemingly random. Starter relay has been replaced. Neutral safety switch has been replaced. Battery checked, starter checked (not by me, at a garage) Any ideas on why this is happening? The garage told me that they give up and said to take it to the dealership.
