Consumer Description

SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MARCH OF 2019 IT HAS GIVEN ME PROBLEMS WITH STARTING. IT SEEMS THE BATTERY IS ALWAYS DEAD EVEN WHEN THE BATTERY IS NEW AND THE MECHANIC TELLS ME THE BATTERY IS CHARGED FINALLY TODAY A MECHANIC TOLD ME IT MAY BE THE STARTER. BECAUSE WHEN I TRY TO START IT MOST TIMES IT IS DELAYED OR SOMETIMES IT WON'T START AND I NEED A JUMP . THIS CAR IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. WHY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STARTER ? IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS CAR?
