I just parked my car in my driveway and after an hour, i went back to drive but my car wont start at all. no power and cannot start . this happened twice i was in a restaurant and when i went back to my car, it wont start and no power. the first time it happened when i went to the restaurant and i towed my car to the service center and they told me it was a glitch . the 2nd time it happened they could not figure out

Power Train

I noticed up and down motion that seemed like a rotor problem. i had them look at the rotors and breaks. it was not them. they balance the tires and that didn't fix it. i asked them to do a nvh test to find where the vibration was coming from they told me they would do it and kept my car for the weekend. monday rolls around and they tell me they won't do it. i was able to find a nvh app which you will see in the resu
