MY CAR WAS DRIVING FINE ON MONDAY NIGHT WITH NO PROBLEMS NOTED. ON TUESDAY MORNING UPON GETTING READY TO LEAVE FOR WORK, MY CAR STATIONARY SITTING OUTSIDE THE HOUSE. I TRIED TO USE THE PUSH BUTTON TO START THE CAR AS I ALWAYS DO BUT THE CAR ONLY MADE STARTING NOISES, IT NEVER CRANKED. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT MAYBE MY BATTERY WAS DEAD BUT IT IS GETTING CHARGE. IT WASN'T THE KEY FOB MALFUNCTIONING EITHER. I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO CRANK THE CAR BUT IT WILL NOT START. THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED A LOW FUEL LIGHT SO GAS WAS ADDED JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WASN'T TOO LOW TO REGISTER. THAT DID NOT WORK, EITHER. I BELIEVE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE FUEL PUMP AS THERE IS A RECALL OUT ON OTHER CARS LIKE MINE. *TR
