The first thing you need to do is check to see if the engine is seized. Do this put a socket and breaker bar on the crank pulley bolt then try to turn the engine 2 full revolutions if OK check the smaller positive wire coming off the battery it has a fuse in it and is very susceptible to corrosion, next go to the starter and with a short piece of wire jumper from the battery stud to the smaller terminal on the right marked with a "S" does the starter crank the engine? Now that I think of it the first thing you should do is find another mechanic.
The best way to fix the problem is to getting help from service and repair manual with pictures and diagram which will help you to locate and fix the problem on your own and you will get the manual from the given link https://toolsnyou.com
Can the engine be turned over manually? remove plugs lessen compression, turn engine by crank shaft bolt , if it wont turn then must be siezed , new engine time

There's only 2 more things that I can think of, check the fuse for the ignition, then the computor itself, you did everything else.It might be the problem and may not.

Lots of Issues with Ignition switches. Car will not crank due to incorrect pass lock voltage to BCM.Most Likely Has A DTC B2960,B3033 Stored in BCM Most likely need another Ignition switch..Good Luck

If the problem occurs after the car has been driven long enough to reach normal operating temperature, the problem is the starter. If the 'no crank' occurs cold, retest the battery.

If you have a cigarette lighter or power port, usually you can power up the system by using a jumper battery attached a a probe. connect the negative part of the jumper to any good metal surface. make a tube out of cardboard and insert it into the port, then use a phillips head screwdriver attached to the positive cable and touch it to the center terminal of the port while pushing the trunk button in.Even though the cardboard should act as a shield, be careful not to touch anything but the center contact!!!

the car with a padlock symbol means security system,,,you either have a bad ignition switch causing this issue and or a passlock housing,,,sounds like a normal problem,,,when the ignition switch/passlock housing goes bad it can work sometimes and not others,but it will cuase the car not to start,, i bet there are codes stored in the computer,,you are gonna need to take it to the dealer,,
