mine went in for that the first time, then in for the ignitiion cable, i drive it home yesterday from the stealership drop it to get detailed, wont start again. i had to leave it alone, try again, by slow going thru the steps of starting the vehicle, like waiting in the second postion for 30 seconds, then it started...im f$king pissed. !

Oh man! That just sucks. On the bright side, if this is your only mechanical failure you've had after warranty, I guess it's not that bad. I would be a bit concerned about the future though! You should be able to find an aftermarket warranty for at least 100k miles. Good luck man.

Sorry to resurrect this old post. I had this problem and had to replace the brake light switch. It took $30 and 20 minutes. The car has not had any other issues since.

This was very helpful! My van going in tomorrow and they should have the brake switch part I ordered last week.
Got away without a tow as I fed the starter motor 12v from the battery (+) and away she went. Enough for one trip to the dealerships service centre.
Thanks for the info everyone!
