I have under 200 miles, car is garage kept, weather has been around 30f give or take sometimes in 38+, and it's always warmer in the garage.

Had a couple decently cold cold starts and some not so cold. Remote start works, car fires up right away with no issue, loud af, and sounds like a high rpm start along with a weird noise but I think it's a heat shield vibrating or something. I swear it was like a loud whirring once before but at this point I can't remember.

Everytime it happens which has been about 6+ times so far it shuts off after around 5 seconds of running and then says remote start disabled forcing me to start from inside which I do and it runs perfectly fine. It doesn't throw any CEL or anything at me and every time I've driven in the cold I let it run enough to get the temp up before driving.

It failed to stay running at around 38f today at noon which is what has me questioning it now. I had a widebody scat and it had no problems in colder situations so what's the deal? I searched around on here for a while but haven't seen anything definitive.

Roll down driver's window so you can see the center display & trigger a remote start to see if the car will tell you.

If there is enough fuel, might be a Hood Switch...

Put your battery on a charge, it's low.

Over half a tank of fuel at worst. All I've seen on the center display (if you mean above the wheel) is Remote start disabled, Press button to start. Do I have to watch it during the start? I have been opening the hood a lot so that wouldn't surprise me either.

I've driven it home which took an hour+ and then driven it around some more for extended periods of time so you'd figure the battery should be ok. I'm not doubting any advice as I want to skip a dealer visit but I will check the voltage before starting it tomorrow morning.

OK cool, then maybe not it. But I do know it's one of things that will kill the car and not leave a reason or code.

Try with a different key fob.

I'll try that but I uses the same fob this morning in 60f weather and it stayed running without issue. Going to try to snag a video on the next cold cold start if I get a chance with the weather.

Yes, was suggesting to watch the screen above the steering wheel during the whole cycle, start to end, to catch any possible indication.

Gotcha I'll give that a shot. On a side note started at 60f this morning just fine and then just now after sitting for around 4 hours it failed to keep running at 46f. Going to try my other keyfob from now on just to narrow it down but I can already feel the dealership visit coming.

Seen a post about the battery potentially impacting remote start after some more digging. Just checked the voltage and it's sitting at 12.0 after being parked for 5 hours so I'll get that swapped out. Thanks for all the tips!

12.0 volts? That's a discharged battery! You definitely need a good charger/maintainer and it's needs an overnight charge. Don't swap the battery, the same thing will happen again.

Wouldn't it be better just to get it swapped? I've put a good amount of continuous drive time on it so is the alt not able to bring it out of that range?

A good charger can save it but if they will swap I guess go ahead, it might already be damaged. But you will still need to keep it on charge at least occasionally.

My ‘21 would do this, must have had a bad battery. New battery solved the issue.
