Most problems are because the SKREEM unit has failed. Another cause would be the halo ring around the ignition switch failing or it has become disconnected from the SKREEM. Yet another reason would be the wrong key or a missing chip or faulty chip inside the key fob.

Unless someone just did the sticky key mod and left the ring disconnected, this will be a trip to the dealer.

And OH how I hate to say that....
