Key Less problem...

My Key Less works only 9 times out of 10.
Because once in a while, this happens;

The starting motor (or what you call it) starts off perfectly, but after just 1 second, it gives in just before the engine is about to start!
So then, I'll push the button again, and HOPEFULLY this time it continues so long, that the engine has time to start up...
But worst case scenario sofar is, I had to do this 4 times in a row before the engine actually started!

I should also mention, that it doesn't make any difference if I hold the button during the starting procedure or not.

Btw, this is my 5th Key Less car, and I have never experienced this before!
So I guess it's not common.

But am grateful for any thoughts!
Thanks.

What year is your car, and are the batteries in the key/card fresh?

It's a 2005.
I don't know about the batterie, but the key/keys work well otherwise.
For instance unlocking/locking from a distance. And allways work when I touch the handle...

When the problem appear, there's like a jamming noise. Like a disc or something isn't rotating very easily...
Or perhaps that sound is normal, since something obviously stops from rotating... I don't know.
