Consumer Description

I( HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 4 YEARS AND I CANNOT COUNT THE TIMES IT FAILED TO START. WHEN YOU TRIED TO START IT THE ENGINE NEVER WOULD TURN OVER.SOME TIMES I WOULD TRY TO START IT FOR DOZENS OF TIMES BEFORE THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER. THIS COULD BE S SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR SENIOR PEOPLE. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON THE SPRINTER FORUM. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER FAILED TO START. IT MIGHT TAKE YOU 30 TIMES OR SOMETIMES IT STARTS ON THE FIRST TURN OF THE KEY
