I have a 2012 Kizashi with a push button start. I am interested in adding a remote start to the vehicle. Can anyone recommend a good remote start at an inexpensive price? Please mention brand name, cost, where you got it, ect...

Also was there any issues or problems that i should be aware of?

Thankyou for your time.

I used to work for ZieBart Tidycar installing remote starters, they offer brand name remote starters, usually CodeAlarm by Audiovox, and can even program your remote to roll up and down windows and other accessories. This costs a little more, but they warranty all their work for life. When I worked there they always had dead on information for the installer and I never had an issue installing one of their products on any car with the amount of information they provided me. A note, they will not install one on a manual. Yes it can be done, but they wont. I did on my old car and it worked fine as long as you could park in neutral with a good Ebrake. I also programmed a electric servo to rev the accelerator off an option button on the remote. The other I used to roll up and down the windows. Best install was the one on my 69 Chevelle, Freaked people out to see that old, load classic start up and rev up on its own.
Their starters run a couple hundred dollars installed, but the more you want the more it costs. In my experience, you get what you pay for. Go luck. Hope it helps.

Just be carefull. Make sure you use a experienced or even certified technitian. Try to find a place where they have a lot of business, even they are more expensive. You can get the best remote but a crappy installation can ruin your car and your electronics.
