Description of the problem	August 21, 2018, we had the car towed to gossett kia motors (dealership) because it would not start.. The car has a push button start, whenever we tried to start the car by pressing the start button and pushing down on the brake pedal the car would not start. The dealership was unable to find a problem because the car would start for them. We drove the car home the same day. On the night of august 22, 2018, the car would not start, same as described above. On august 23, 2018, we had the car towed to the dealership and it was repaired and returned to us august 25, 2018. Today, august 30, 2018, the car did not start and exhibited the same problem as the previous two times. We will have the car towed to the dealership at their convenience.
