Consumer Description

The car start button failed to start the car . It has happened sporadically over last 4 months .It is available for inspection. I have not reported it as of today to the dealer . It is not a safety issue since it happens while parked. The cars dashboard lite up ,radio was on as were the headlights and all other warning lights when I depressed the start button with my foot on the brake pedal. The only thing that was different was the brake pedal was extremely hard to depress it didn't move at all.The brake pedal was up higher then normal by a couple of inches. It took multiple times before it started.
