Consumer Description

CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AT TURNING KEY, IT FINALLY STARTED. LIGHTS AND HORN FUNCTIONED PROPERLY, BUT I REPLACED THE BATTERY ANYWAY. CAR WOULD STILL NOT START ON FIRST FEW ATTEMPTS. ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER AT ALL, THEN AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT TURNING KEY, IT WOULD START, AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG. BROUGHT IT TO DEALER, THEY SAID THEY CLEANED OUT SOME PARTS OF THE ENGINE AND UPDATED THE COMPUTER. THE NEXT DAY I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID THEY CHANGED SOME FUSES. LESS THAN A WEEK LATER, STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE ARE MULTIPLE INCIDENTS OF THIS HAPPENING FOR OTHER OWNERS OF THIS CAR WHICH I FOUND ONLINE WHEN I WAS LOOKING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. *TR
