VerifiedHello and welcome to JustAnswer!
It sounds as if you have an immobilizer issue and the key isn't being validated. If that's the case then it could be a module or wiring issue or the key itself. It's not uncommon for a key to fail. A dealer level scan tool is going to be necessary to repair the issue if any programmed components need to be replaced.
Have you tried a second key?
