This is 3rd time car would not start. I had brought car in for recall for same problem they did program a computer module, but 1 month later same issue. Car won't start, turn over or crank, nothing - like a dead battery. Also other symptoms. After several minutes play with shifter car would start but when put in gear to drive would not accelerate like normal - it would crawl at 3 mph even when going full throttle. I put it back in drive after few attempts - it does start to respond and work like normal. I did notice I had problem when shifter in to L and use the plus button on shifter - I usually could see display change and show L1 L2 L3 L4 L5 L6 used to disable auto stop, which normally works fine. I could not get to L6 or stuck in L1... this is not normal... We will see what happens... Bill.
