Consumer Description

THE CAR SOMETIME DOES NOT START AFTER TURNING OFF ENGINE. IN ORDER TO RESTART I HAVE TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, TURN KEY TO RUN WITH OUT STARTING, THEN SHIFT LEVER TO NEUTRAL, THEN TURN KEY TO CRANK MOTOR TO START. MOST OF THE TIMES THE CAR STARTS AS NORMAL, BUT SOMETIMES I HAVE TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL TO START MOTOR. MOVING THE SHIFT LEVER AROUND SEEMS TO DO THE TRICK.
