New-to-me 2015 Fit ex cvt won't start

Had the car about a week. Haven't driven it in 3 days. Warm weather. In a garage.

Pushed the start button (after pressing break) and nothing happened. Nada. Not a sound. Tried interior lights....not working (not sure that's an issue?...haven't read the manual yet as I'm also in the process of buying a house and just haven't had time).

It's Sunday, so nothing will happen today. It still is under warranty, so will check that tomorrow.

But really...any ideas? Serious bummer to have a car one week and it not work. My mechanic gave it flying colors for the purchase inspection. I'm seriously disappointed. Also, it was bought from Vroom. I know, I know. But is this a known problem? The not starting thing? I did have some pause before purchase because it's had 2 owners in 2 years (one owner moved to another state)....but like I said, my mechanic really liked the car.

fyi: 17k+ miles on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Battery. See if you can get a boost from someone and I bet it'll start.

My battery went dead a couple of months ago. Turns out I left the dome light on and 2 days later when I tried to start it - it wouldn't. Hopefully it's something as simple as that for you.

Got to be the battery. As this is my first car with push button start, I was curious how the car would react during a low voltage (i.e. low battery) situation.

Please report back on what you find.

This is why I spent a few bucks for warm colored LED lights to reduce the chance of complete drain in the same event. Only takes a few minutes with a plastic butter knife to install and few minutes mouse clicking around on amazon to order.
