Default Security failure

so i left my doors unlocked for a little while and the sunroof open (slanted position) and i was talking with some buddies out of the car and i get in go to turn the ignition it doesn't start and message pops up saying there is a security failure, and i just turn the key back to the off and then on again and its fine. I was putting the car through 5 mintues of really aggressive residential turns, somewhat high speed. Any idea's

do you really think that the people that programmed the security message included some way to sense that you were doing agressive turns, or the position of the sunroof ???? seems far fetched to me.

knowing that there is a security feature in your key, I would suspect that you turned the key too fast, and it faulted. With newer cars, I find that turning the key slowly is better. try that and report back.
