Strange problem GAF.

My push start doesnt turn my car on. But when i put the fob in it turns on.

Is this a battery issue ?

Only one. But the car turns on when i put the fob in the fob slot in the glove compartment.

Battery in your key fob is dying

Fob battery. Most cars have some location you can tap with your fob running out of battery to turn on the push button start - near field communication of sorts. Sometimes it's on the steering column for cars without an ignition slot, other times it's in the ignition.

I have it in my glove compartment. I put the fob in it and the car starts. I was able to restart my car a few hours after driving it. Same thing happened yesterday but probably tomorrow it won't start unless I put the fob in the glove compartment slot.

But ya seems like a battery issue, either FOB or car. Will pass by a dealer to get a new battery.

It's likely the fob. Should be able to change the fob battery for like $5 by yourself. (unless it's free under warranty at dealer of course)
