Consumer Description

I THOUGHT THE BATTERY DIED AS A RESULT OF A LIGHT BEING LEFT ON, BUT ATTEMPTED TO JUMP START THE BATTERY AND WOULD NOT START EVEN AFTER CHARGING BATTERY. IT WOULD NOT EVEN MAKE NO NOISE TRYING TO START IT. WAS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND DRIVER WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED. THEN ON 8/12/2012 WAS AT GAS STATION AFTER GETTING GAS AND IT WOULD NOT START MADENO NOISE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START IT, FINALLY STARTED AFTER REMOVING AND REINSERTING THE POWER PLUG LOCATED UNDER STEALING COLUMN. TAKING INTO DEALERSHIP IN MORNING HOPING THEY FIGURE IT OUT. *TR
