The same thing has happened (once) for me when I went quickly to the start position. I pause for a half second now, before going on to "start." I don't wait for the gauges and panel to go through their whole "song and dance"----just long enough to see they've started to do their thing.

Works for me.

That's what I do, I've never had a problem before.

You should be able to just start it in one shot. I have no problems with mine when I do it that way. Although I do sometimes just turn the key to acc first then to start. Works well either way. Try it again a few times see what happens, if it still does it get the ignition key checked.
