Periodically my Jeep will not start. I have to push the button again then press the brake then the button in order to get it to start. It happens multiple times a month. I’ve had the jeep since Feb 2019

Kim, the Jeep is under warranty. Take it to your dealer. They will fix it for free.

Keep in mind, my push-button start car won’t start at all unless my foot is pressung the brake pedal. I’d guess yours is that way, too, but your owners manual explains explains that.
