Does the "ACC" and "RUN" lights on the start button outer ring illuminated when you attempt a restart" If not, may have an issue with the "Keyless Ignition Node Module" (that is what the start button assembly is called) either with the module or possible wiring issue between it and RF hub it communicates with.

There is a two wires that go between the start button and the RF hub for switch position and a Security communication. If any of that is interrupted, the RF Hub will not give the BCM authority to complete the start sequence.

Shows a generational difference. His is the better, more modern way to check to see if the start command is going through compared to seeing if there's a change in voltage indicating relay or similar action.
Yeah, if you don't have light at the big button, it isn't going to pay attention. Big to his thinking.

Check for a bad ground. If insufficient, the computer won't let the starter engage.

Today, It happened a few times. Sometimes while at a stop light and a couple times at initial startup.

The last one caused a "Service Shifter" message on the display and then the check engine light came on. I took it to O'Reilly's and the error code is PO979.

I will let the dealer sort it out since it's under warranty, but just wanted to share the info.
