Three times in two days the van would not start with the start/stop push button. An amber light with a key in the middle of it illuminated in the lower part of the instrument cluster. The van did eventually start after a few more attempts but it was unsettling with all the electronics.
The dealer technician informed me that it was probably a very simple and isolated interference issue. Likely due to the fact that my wife keeps the fob in her purse along side her cell phone. It is quite common for cell signals to interfere with remote fobs but I informed him that the key has been in my wife's purse since we purchased the van 6 months ago and that her cell phone goes in the purse along side it every morning when she leaves; the issue has never come up before.
We were advised to inform the dealer if the issue persists. Our Sedona SX has 14,600 Km on it.
