I suggest running a code scanner to see if that might shed some light on the problem.

Just because it is brand new doesn't mean it is good I had a car I went thru 3 in one week before I got a good one. The first 2 I got I assumed they would be good they where not, the last time i went in to get one they had 2. I had them test the first one they pulled from the box it was bad, the other one tested ok after that I had no more problems.

bad starter solenoid, starter bendix, starter itself, bad ground, or loose connection.
