Consumer Description

WHEN I WENT TO PARK THE CAR AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF THE HORN BEGAN TO HONK AS I TRIED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE HAZARD LIGHTS WHERE FLASHING AT THE SAME TIME THE HORN WAS HONKING. I RE EBTERED THE VEHICLE AND TRIED STICKING THE KEY BACK IN THE IGNITION. NO SOUND FROM THE ENGINE AT ALL. WOULD NOT TURN ON. I ADJUSTED THE GEARS WITH THE KEY & LET IT SIT FOR 40 MINUTES. I WAS THEN ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. SO ANNOYING AND STRESSFUL. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS ELECTRICAL OR WHAT BUT IT WAS CERTAINTLY NOT THE BATTERY. ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE CAME ON EVEN THE RADIO. FOUR DAYS AGO I HAD FUSES REPLACED FOR THE RADIO AND THE DOOR LOCKS. I DON'T KNOW IF THE VEHICLE NOT TURNING OVER/ON/STARTING HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FUSES BEING REPLACED OR NOT. MILEAGE 74,000.
