Looks like it’s still under warranty; if so, take it to the dealer

Take it out of park then put it back in to park.

Try and start it.

Do you have the factory remote start? If you do, does it have the same problem when remote starting? If it starts ok with the remote start, then maybe it’s something in the key ignition

Bummer on the warranty, If the engine won't start, you would think that would be covered under the 5 yr/60000 mile powertrain warranty. Anyway, while I'm taking wild guesses, maybe check for a fuse or relay? Fuse 89 (40 amp starter fuse) under the hood, or relay 48 run/start.

3/36,000 is bumper to bumper. Wouldn't help if say it is ignition switch related. But you should have a 5/60,000 mile powertrain warranty in the event that its an engine problem.
