Car wouldn't start
Anyone else had this happen?
I pulled up to the store, ran in really quick, right back out. Car wouldn't start. It would go into the On position, but it was as if my car wasn't on the brake. Tried for 20 minutes. Called roadside and they were going to send a tech out. Call my wife. hung up, tried again and the car started.
Almost like a software glitch that just needed time to reset.

Had the same issue this week. Received my car Monday night, no issues monday, tuesday, wednesday. Thursday I had my "tint" guy over to limo out the car. Obviously the doors etc were open for a few hours along with the accessories. When time came for the front door windows the switches would not respond. I then started the car assuming reset of some sorts was in order. Windows did then work but only when the car was running. So that was the way he finished. At that time, a delay in starting was notice post starter button. Friday i was off to a meeting at a suppliers, maybe 20 mins tops. When i returned to the car everything was fine minus it did not start. I tried a few time with zero return. The one thing I remembered from the tinting day was a "red" message lit up ask ing me to connect the key fob to the car. In your ashtray/cup holder there is a slot below the USB for your key. This solved the no start problem both time. The cars been running fine ever since.
