There seems to be a problem with the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS). Did you happen to drop the ignition key at any time. The transponder in the key could be broken. You have an Immobilizer problem and it can only be tacked by a Dealer or a Mechanic who has this Diagnostic test equipment. First you should one at a time check all of the fuses in the vehicle's fuse box relating to the PATS system. It could be a fuse.
