For mine, it actually took a couple of times of wiggling the wheel and turning the key for it to finally catch and start. I would wiggle/turn key, stop wiggling/turn key off, wiggle/turn key, etc. I am wondering if this does, indeed, have something to do with the safety features of the VX. Since the steering wheel isn't locking when the key is out something is wrong in the steering column (to my mind) and that could be causing the no start issue.
