Ignition turns on, but not engine
2017 C43. A few times in the last month, when getting in the car, putting my foot on the brake, and pressing Start, the ignition will come on and the needles sweep the dials, but the engine doesn't start. This usually happens in the garage at home. Yesterday at a shopping center, I had to try 6 or 8 times to start the engine before it worked. No error lights or messages. No problems with (un)locking the car keyless. I searched the forums and the threads I found had no resolution. Dealers unable to duplicate problem, no codes in Xentry, etc. Any ideas as to the problem? Suggestions on duplicating the problem? Thanks.
