Car takes 3 times key turn to start. no starter

Go to the dealers and pay an arm and a leg. Key Smith is a better option, probably half the price of the dealer.

Then there is Ebay. Possibly cheaper again, but you still need a Smith, if time is not a problem.

This is very common bad starter, replace the starter and the problem will be solved, some of these isuzu starter are a pain to replace, good day

Dirty terminals, happens all the time. Did you have the battery tested? Or just know it's OK? Did you check the water? How about the electrolytes? Get the terminals cleaned off with a wire brush, and scrape the insides, make sure they are tight. I have replaced more batteries this week, must be the weather. One was stone dead, 5 volts and still started the car?? Couldn't believe it, good car. The other 2 were dead with 12+ volts but wouldn't start anything, both got new terminals, and both got cleaned up. NO problems. Check it out. Lastly, the solenoid in the starter could be bad if everything else checks out, whack it with a hammer while turning the key, if it jumps, you found it.

Its on the starter

if your close or over 100,000 miles, better to have the tranny rebuilt.

STARTER ASSM HAS SOLENOID ON IT

check battery cables & terminals for tightness & corrosion.also check at starter.check starter bolts & actual starter for looseness.if no problems found your starter may be on its way out.next time it happens hit starter with hammer or heavy object if it starts right up get ready to replace it.good luck

try replacing the altonator low voltage will not let it shift.also a stoped up exaust system will cause the same problem.

You actually answered your own question. Your transmission is slipping. The reason that it's vibrating is that it isn't downshifting to 1st gear to start. It sounds like it's either in 2nd or 3rd. The leak may have a lot to with it. I'm afraid you need to find your nearest transmission repair shop ASAP.
