Description of the problem | Intermittent engine starting. Starter is energized but fails to start motor. A loud gnashing or grinding can be heard as the starter tries to turn motor. It sounds as if the starter doesn't fully engage the flex plate/flywheel. Engine eventually starts after several (as many as 10) attempts. The problem is not consistent with any condition. I've driven 2 weeks with no issues then will have 5 episodes in 2 days. A completely random occurrence but very frustrating and embarrassing. |
