    So my new 2020 refused to start yesterday for a minute. It's like 20deg out. I hope in start it just fine. Let it warm up for 30 second then drive it's a few feet. The windshield guys needed it in the sun. Turned it off and they ask if I can move it down a bit so they can get the doors fully open. It refused to start. Full power, engine turning over just no fire. Wait a few seconds and try again, no luck. Finally on the 3rd try it started but she was stumbling all over herself for a few seconds.
    Later that day I tried the same sequence again and the second start was a little rough, but it started quick.
    Only mod I have is the N2 remote start. It's been in for a couple months without issues. And with that you are always doing a quick restart since opening the door kills the engine.

    I've had the same problem, although not this year. I also have an autostart but can't remember which model.

    I've noticed waiting 2-3 minutes keeps it from happening.

    I've had similar issues this week. It's been -25C in the morning and truck stumbles when starting on most cold starts. Taking it to dealership next week. Will share results. OP, please share your results too!
