The first day was after two tries second and third the lights and everything turn on but the car takes about a minute to turn on I press on the gas to help it. Also right after when I start driving when I put it in drive the shift changes pull me back and sound strange as well as reverse.

Hi,

First, I need you to try something. Follow these directions and let me know the results:

1) With the key off, turn it to the run position and count to 5 and then turn it back off.
2) Repeat step 1 three times and on the forth time, see if it starts normally.

Let me know,

Joe

Today when I got in the car it turned on perfectly fine. I got off to get a coffee got back in and the car lasted the longest that its lasted to turn back on and got this. Also after it turned back on finally the engine light went on. Will take it to AutoZone to get light check out see what it detected but from this video any ideas?

Hi,

That appears to be a connection issue. First, confirm the battery terminals are clean and tight.

Let me know what is found.

I didn't check that, actually when I got off work the engine light turned off and car turn on perfectly. Will take to dealership tomorrow. Do you think it’s something serious with engine/transmission or the computer of the car? Perhaps maybe the starter?

Honestly, I think it is a bad connection. My first suspect is a loose battery terminal. Check to see if they are tight. The car is new enough that corrosion shouldn't be an issue, but it still should be checked.

Let me know.
