Wont start

We have a ML430 which wont start the battery is fine, and car run well when it starts. The key turns and all the lights come on on the dash, and error comes up in the odometer but wont turn over. The previous owner said the key comes apart sometimes and has this problem every few months. The key also locks and unlocks the car. How can i see whats wrong.

Found it on first search on google put is this (what does start error mean on the dash of a mercedes benz) Should be your control module. You may be able to spray MAF cleaner on it and it may work according to responses otherwise it is about $1000 for module.
