Consumer Description

ONGOING ISSUE WITH STARTING FOR APPROX LAST YEAR AND A HALF. HAVE HAD IN TO LOCAL DEALER WHERE PURCHASED AND THEY FIND NOTHING OTHER THAN TO TELL ME TO LOCK MY CAR WHEN IN USE BECAUSE THE CAR'S ELECTRONICS ARE BEING CONFUSED. WHILE TRYING TO START THE ICONS WILL FLASH AND THE WINDOWS WILL GO UP AND DOWN. SOMETIMES THE CAR EVENTUALLY STARTS ON A 2ND OR 3RD TRY BUT OTHER TIMES THE CAR GOES DEAD AND A JUMP IS NECESSARY. I HAVE LESS THAN 35,000 MILES ON IT AT THIS POINT IN TIME. ARE OTHERS HAVING ISSUES OR IS THIS DEALERSHIP INEFFECTIVE IN DIAGNOSING PROBLEM? *TR
