Consumer Description

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER BEING PARKED FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR. TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO START, HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE, BUT THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANY POWER GOING TO ENGINE TO START. NO CLICKING (AS WITH A DEAD BATTERY - ALL LIGHTS WERE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY). WAITED 10 MINUTES AND IT STARTED. TURNED IT OFF BRIEFLY TO GO INSIDE TO TELL SHOP OWNER THAT CAR HAD STARTED. CAME BACK OUT, IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO RESTART AND IT WOULD NOT. LEFT CAR WHERE PARKED AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE CAR TO DEALER IN THE MORNING. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO START EACH TIME. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND TO PICK UP MY CAR. WHICH I DID. *TR
