Maybe try resetting your ecu.. If not that then just check the starter. Im not sure why a newer car like that would do that on you..

pull the fuse from the fuse box under the hood. I thinks it's 7a(back-up radio) not positive.

You said you have no spark. Check the coil. By a new one and try to see if that is what it is.

Take distributor cap off then rotor. Try not to drop the spring for the coil as well.

No spark tends to = bad ignitor/coil or both.

Very true, my bet is the igniter, sometimes the main relay is also bad, but your car is pretty new.

Might sound dumb. but i had a ground wiggle loose over time and i replaced everything come to find out it was the little ground on the thermostat housing.
