Did you clean the inside of the battery cable clamps .. ??
When you say "it won't start" does it turn over and not fire ..... or nothing happens when you hit the start button .. ??
Does it go: click-click-click after you push the start button .. ?? (heck, I don't even know if they do that anymore .....  ).
DANG electronics ....... 
Back in the day, I would suggest you check the cable connection on the starter.
Then check the battery ground connection to the block/frame.
However, you may have to take it into the dealer ......

I tested the battery with a volt meter when I bought it, and also had it on a trickle charger before install.
Clean all the terminals and applied a little dielectric grease to both terminals.
Everything turns on, radio, lights, gauges, but the car doesn't turn over.
It's as if I only hit the push button without pressing the brake or clutch pedal.

Only thing I have plugged in is my radar, and phone charger.
Recently, I've been unplugging those items when I shut the car off to make sure nothing is draining the battery.
I've made a habit to shut the radio off, turn off the A/C, unplug the radar and charger before I turn the car off.
No OFT, car is tuned via ECUTEK by Motoeast.

There are generally two switches that can stop you from getting a push button car started. The first is a brake switch and the other is gear selector position sensor.
The first switch's job is obvious. The other switch, sometimes referred to as a NSS (Neutral Safety Switch) is meant to prevent an automatic from being started in anything other than park or neutral.

Thanks, I'll look into those switches, may be a faulty one that's going out, but not completely.
