Gets power but push button and doesn't seem even to start to turn over. Battery charged. Even tested fine elsewhere (Walmart) on their system. Will not go out of Park either.

Hello,

This sounds like it could be a problem with Transmission Selector Switch. While researching this for your vehicle, I came across this Technical Service Bulletin (TSB). I'm not sure if it is still under warranty, but you might want to call your local dealership and find out. You may be able to have this fixed under warranty. I have included this TSB and operating instructions for the Transmission Selector in the diagrams down below. Please go through the material and get back to us with what you are able to find out, please.

Thanks,
Alex
