Remote start switch failed, vehicle went 'crazy', with alarm sounding, all lights flashing, all gauges sweeping wildly, all caution warning lights on dash illuminated. Had a hard time trying to start vehicle, once running, almost could not get it to turn off (push button switch). Had it towed to dealer, who replaced the remote starting sensor brain located behind the glove box. Said he had seen this before. Repair took longer than 1 day because of supply-chain issues with the part.
