Default starting issue

Hey all, need some help before going back to the dealership. I went and had them look at this before and they couldnt find anything, that was a fun pointless trip since this cost me about $200 or so for them to tell me they have no clue. Anyway, for another post.....
It has been getting progressively worse. This happens when i use the factory remote start or turning the key.
Can you take a look at the videos and share your input?
I have an idea of what it might be but i want to see if there is anything else. Thanks!

This was this morning.

This was a couple of months ago

starter drive or a bad spot with chewed up teeth on the flex plate. (flywheel)

my initial thought was the starter, I'll crawl under the beast and see if i can take a peek at the flex plate.
Thanks Greasy!

Have you considered the fuse 27 issue and TSB 15-0137? Most dealers should be aware of this and there is a work-around kit available to relocate this fuse. Not sure of your mileage, but the higher it gets the more likely it seems to be an issue.
