Did you turn the wheel side to side?
Some times itl lock at a weird angle and I gotta turn it a little to get it to work
If not proly a faulty cylinder, it happens to pretty much all of us usually gets stuck in it had mine replaced before the recall

do the lights completely turn off when you try to crank kinda like there's suddenly no power? If you have another person you can have someone turn the key while you tap the starter with a hammer. Or you can bypass the solenoid with a screwdriver to see if that's it as well

<<<@!1!@>>>

It should have warranty
