Reported at 35,000 miles, August 2018 CrashInjury

My car won't turn on. It keep saying key id incorrect when I push the remote start button. I already replaced my keyless entry key fob battery and still no power in my car not even to open the car. I have to use the manual key to manually open the door to my car. I tried jump starting my car maybe car battery dead I replaced it with a new one still unable to turn my car on. I will have to get it towed to the dealership I have only had it for 10 months and it was with 4 miles so pretty much a brand new car.
