this has happened a few times, though now it's not infrequent.
the car will power up with the start button, but will not start. occasionally it makes clicking sounds like it has a dead battery, but the battery is fully charged. the engine is making no attempt to turn over. locking and unlocking the doors makes no difference. it will usually start within 2-5 minutes of fussing with.
I assume it's some sort of electrical issue, as jump starting the car has proven immediately successful. I am however sure the battery is charged because the headlights are VERY bright, the heater and radio work at full power, and it shows no other signs of low voltage. additionally, if I continue to attempt to start it, it will eventually start.
the problem first presented itself around 1400 miles, and has been increasing in severity since then. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday morning of this weekend all gave me fits during starting.
