Car is dead, dead battery?
so i've been to the dealer 3 times this month, I got my cracked dash fixed along with other minor problems. Then I had to go back since my car wasn't shifting out of park. So finally I got my car yesterday drive home and everything works fine. After an hour i went to grab something to eat and the car wont start, turn key and nothing. all lights work fine, the keyless entry works.
Also the brake is engaged. if i try to press on the brake, it will not go down any further because the car's brake is down as far as it can possibly go. Moments earlier the breaks worked just fine.
any ideas? thanks in advance.

Could be the fix for the "wont shift out of park" is the problem. They could have screwed something up and now your car thinks it's not in park and won't let it start because of this. Try moving the shift lever and see if it starts.
It also could be a loose battery cable. They might have disconnected the battery for one of the repairs and didn't do a good job reconnecting. I've had this happen to me before. Lights worked, but no start.
If it's not a loose cable, call the dealer. They should come out and tow the car back to the dealer for free.
