Car won't start

What is your question?

Why is my car not starting. It's hard to press the brake pedal in but when I push the start button it doesn't turn over and everything on my dash board starts to flicker and glitch out.

How long has your 2014 Toyota Venza had this problem?

Hi - I am Dave, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010. The brake pedal is hard to push, because there is no vacuum built up in the system, being that the vehicle hasn't been run for a bit. However, the new start and "glitching" sounds like a low battery voltage issue. Have the engine's battery tested to see if it has enough power and can sustain a load. I bet you'll find out that it is not functioning to it's required level. https://repairpal.com/auto-repair-near-me Click the link to find some shops near you who can help out!
