Consumer Description

SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY AFTER THE CAR WAS PARKED, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO START AND HE BATTERY INDICATOR CAME ON A FEW TIMES. THE FINAL TIME AFTER DRIVING FROM CONNECTICUT TO QUEENS NY, I WAS IN A FRIENDS DRIVEWAY AFTER DROPPING THEM OFF FROM THE AIRPORT, THE CAR WOULD NOT START EVEN THOUGHT THE LIGHTS WERE WORKING. EVENTUALLY ALL POWER WAS LOST. I HAD TO HAVE CAR PUSHED OUT IF THE DRIVING AND ON TO THE STREET. ALSO TO NOTE EARLIER I WAS CHARGING MY CELL PHONE, BUT IT STOPPED CHARGING. I WENT AND PURCHASE A NEW CHARGED (USB ADAPTOR) WHICH DID NOT WORK EITHER, BUT WORKED WHEN I HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER. THE TOW TRUCK PERSON WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED WITH A JUMP, AND INDICATED THAT IT APPEARED TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I REVIEWED THE INTERNET TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE SINCE MY CAR HAS SUCH LOW MILAGE, AND NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE YEAR AND MODEL FROM FEBRUARY 2013. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE SAME, BUT IT SOUNDS SIMILAR.
