It started with with a short delay starting, I would have to hold the key in the starting position a second longer probably happened twice, then it went to only being able to start after a few tries (happened once, I should have driven straight to the shop), to not being able to start at all and I had to tow it. Unfortunately this entire experience happened during a single day multi-stop outing, I was just two starts away from having it into my mechanic. I still had this under warranty, the experience including the towing did not cost me a dime, just my frustration.""
