Consumer Description

MY 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS ISSUES STARTING. PUSH TO START ON KEY NO LONGER WORKS. PUSH TO START IN THE CAR TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. BATTERIES HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN KEYS. THE ISSUE PERSIST WHEN NOT USING PUSH TO START AND INSERTING KEY AND CRANKING. IT TRIES TO CRANK, ELECTRONICS FLICKER, THEN NOTHING. WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE ISSUE THE CAR WOULD START TYPICALLY ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT. YESTERDAY IT TOOK AROUND TEN ATTEMPTS TURNING THE KEY TO GET THE CAR STARTED.
