Consumer Description

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS UPON ENTERING THE CAR, PRESSING ON THE BRAKES, AND PUSHING THE START BUTTON, THE CAR WILL NOT START. I HAVE TO WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES, SOMETIMES AS LONG AS AN HOUR AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR STARTS. IT STARTS AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED LATE AT NIGHT, SINCE I TRAVEL AND WORK MULTIPLE DIFFERENT SHIFTS AS A TRAVEL NURSE. IT'S EXTREMELY SCARY TO LEAVE WORK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, GET TO THE DARK PARKING LOT, AND YOUR CAR NOT START.
