| Description of the problem | Intermittent problems that are becoming much more frequent almost daily with car not starting when the key fob is turned. Key fob seems loose and turns easily but nothing happens. I have to turn back to off, pull fob out, place back in, try to restart, usually multiple time and usually by about the 10th time the planets align and it starts as if nothing is wrong. I took it to the dealer, thankfully it would not start for them and then it finally did. They said that the wireless electric ignition node had to be replaced and that this problem was not related to the recall issue with the key fob and putting to much stuff on the key chain. |
