NO START, NO CRANK. RANDOMLY CAR WILL NOT START, AND THERE IS NO CRANKING EITHER. HAPPENS ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK. SHOWS DASHES ON THE DIGIT DISPLAY. CAR MAY START AFTER 10 MINUTES OR 3 HOURS - CAN'T TELL. HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER ONCE. PROBLEM NOT REPLICATED, BUT SERVICE FOUND A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE VIN, AND 2001, 2002 MODELS WHICH SPECIFIED THIS EXACT PROBLEM, SUGGESTING REPLACEMENT OF A SPECIFIC PART FOR SUPPOSEDLY A DPFE SHORTENING. EVEN THOUGH THIS PART ALONE WAS CHANGED, PROBLEM RECURRED JUST AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS. VEHICLE NOW AGAIN AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A REALLY ANNOYING PROBLEM, AND I'M NOW AFRAID TO TAKE THE CAR ANYWHERE, EVEN IF IT COMES BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP SUPPOSEDLY AFTER BEING 'FIXED', AS THERE'S NO TELLING WHEN THE PROBLEM WILL RECUR, OR IF THE CAR COULD EVEN STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREEWAY!.

IT ALL STARTED ON CHRISTMAS DAY OF 2002. MY CAR WAS ONLY 6 MONTHS OLD AND THE STARTER WENT OUT. ABOUT FOUR MONTHS LATER I BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS. SOMETIMES THE DOORS WOULD LOCK ALL BY THEMSELVES AND AT OTHER TIMES THEY WOULD NOT LOCK AT ALL.

WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP ALL THE GAUGES ON MY DASH WERE FLIPPING ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT AND COMING BACK AGAIN. AND MY BATTERY LIGHT WAS ON. I WENT RIGHT BACK TO SERVICE DEPT. THEY DROVE THE...

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A PUDDLE, STARTER SHORTED AND DESTROYED FLYWHEEL. LATER IT WAS FOUND THAT WATER HAD GOTTEN INTO TRANSMISSION. IN ADDITION, A LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER WAS TAKEN INTO THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE UNDER THE DOOR SEALS. I WAS NOT STOPPED IN THE PUDDLE, ONLY MOVED THROUGH IT. DUE TO THE WATER INCURSION INTO THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS BY MY INSURANCE. THEY FEAR ELECTRICAL DAMAGE COULD RESULT. I AM CONCERNED THAT ANYONE GOING THROUGH STANDING WATER (THIS WAS NOT A HUGE PUDDLE) WOULD FIND THEMSELVES WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT COULD RESULT IN INJURY. *JB
