Default Starter problem

I recently purchased a new 2019 Stingray A8. Occasionally, when starting, it will crank for a second or two then hesitate for a split second and then start cranking again until the engine starts. Fortunately this is a rare occurrence but I am concerned that it may be a starter issue. I previously owned a C6 so I am familiar with push button ignition. Any info on this would be appreciated.

I would say it is more of a control issue Vs a starter issue. The problem is it will be hard to know whether it is something to worry about or not.

Do you know how long the car sat on the dealer lot before you purchased it? I can bet that the battery went dead at least once it if sat more than a couple of months without being driven. It could be compromised and may not last much longer. I have not heard of your issue before but most electronic glitches can be traced back to the battery or a bad ground.
