The vehicle will turn in the on position, but it won't actually start.

So, I assume the engine is cranking over and not running, how does the engine sound when cranking, normal? If so, can you hear the fuel pump run in the tank when you turn the key on? If so, I have seen the crankshaft angle sensor go bad in these cars which will not trigger a check engine light, though we should run the codes as well.

This guide can help as well:

Here is the crankshaft sensor location in the diagrams below so you can check it out. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is. You can upload a short video of the engine cranking over so I can tell if the engine is in good shape.

I've already used a code reader and there aren't any codes popping up. The battery is also good, it's brand new.
