That was my first thought. The wife of the husband that purchased the vehicle is now in jail and left her with the piece of junk and the car note. Thanks!

Make sure battery is charged. turn steering wheel side to side as you turn on key with foot hard on brake. Make sure transmission is fully in park., if that doesnt work try same sequence with shifter in neutral.
