    I have a 2007 Volvo 670 yesterday I turned the key and nothing, I turned it a second time and it fired up. That happened twice and today first thing in the morning
    The same thing gotta turn it twice. Anyone know what the issue might be.

    It could be different reasons. Make sure your battery terminals are tight, no corrosion on both ends, at the battery and the starter.
    Then I would try a new starter relay, it's the cheapest solution for about $30.
    If it doesn't fix the problem, your starter might be on it's way south.

    My Pete does the same thing. After the 2nd time it did it i replaced the starter & solenoid just for piece of mind. I knew it was a ten year old truck with no maintenance records, for all i knew it was original. Anyway, it still does it today. Every once in a while i get a dead key for no reason at all. Turn the key a second time & she’ll fire right up.

    I quit worrying about it:)

    Could be a starter issue. That's what it was in my case. 3408 CAT.
