why won't my 2017 start when I push the "ignition" button

I've had this car for about a year and this week, for the third time, the car does not start when I push the "ignition" button. I think there's a red light on the dash but I am clueless that it doesn't start then I am doing what I always do to start the vehicle. I'll wait a few minutes then try again; foot on the brake, car in "park", everything just as it was before - and it will fire up. I don't know what I've done differently to get it to start, or what I've done wrong when it decides not to start. Is this a "kill" switch that's being activated or something? I'd appreciate any feedback on this as I'm afraid it will leave me stranded somewhere someday. I hope I'm not the only one that's experienced this. Thanks to the community!

There's a 9 year extended warranty on the keyless start/stop switch for many 2015-2017 Fits. This could be your problem. Check to see if your vehicle is eligible for switch replacement.

Push Button Start Issues.

My 2015 had issues with the push button starting.
There is Honda recall on this problem. Go to your local Honda Dealer. They should fix this problem for Free. Yup that's not a misprint. It's a free fix at your local Honda Dealer.
