Consumer Description

DRIVE CAR AND PARK AND TURN OFF. RETURN 1 HOUR TO 1 DAY LATER CAR WILL NOT START INTERMITTENTLY. ALL LIGHTS CAME ON BUT CAR WILL NOT CRANK. KEEP TRYING AND WITHIN A HALF HOUR CAR WILL START. HAVE HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC IN WHICH THEY REPLACED THE STARTER AND THE OCCURRENCE HAPPENED 1 MONTH LATER. MECHANIC WANTED ME TO DROP OFF CAR AND LEAVE IT THERE UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE MY CAR SITTING AT A MECHANIC FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG AND EVEN THEN THEY STILL MAY NOT KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. HAVE BEEN TO MANY ONLINE DISCUSSION BOARDS AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NO KNOWN FIXES. AS OF THIS WRITING THE NO START PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *TR
