Wouldn’t that have been resolved with a new battery replacement?

I would check solenoid and starter. Some cars have a relay between the ignition

I drive a 2014 Hyundai Elantra. I have experience the exact same thing.

Do you have a lanyard or heavy key chain? Could be your key moving in ignition.

Interesting, not a very heavy keychain. Just the car key and maybe 2-3 other key

That sounds like a headache and very pricey for a mechanic to do.

I actually wound up doing it
