Consumer Description

VEHICLE WILL NOT START/CRANK. BATTERY IS BRAND NEW, ALL ELECTRONICS FUNCTION AND LIGHT UP, YET WHEN IGNITION IS TURNED THE ENGINE DOESN'T TURN OVER. VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP FOR THE THIRD TIME IN 3 WEEKS. A NEW WIRING HARNESS WAS INSTALLED BUT FAILED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHOWING CODES FOR THE CAM & CRANK SENSORS, INCLUDING CODE P0340, YET ALL SENSORS HAVE TESTED AS OPERATIONAL. I'LL POST AN UPDATE AS SOON AS I HEAR FROM DEALER.
