starting issue

So bought my new 2015 lx m/t yesterday and four times now have had it not start right away. The electronics turn on but the car doesn't crank. Anyone else having this problem? Not temperature related either, did it when it was 46° out.

are you rushing when you jumped in the car? it happens to me on occasion, but it is because i do not hold the button long enough. just a quick "tap" and the car will just go into accessory mode, and not start the car.

put a good effort into holding the button, and see if that resolves it.

Thanks rodney, apparently the dealership sent me home with extra large floor mats that were getting caught under the clutch

I thought the LX had a key start, not the push button. But same principle applies if you don't leave the key turned long enough.
