| Description of the problem | Smart start warning indicator light came on, car hesitated, but did eventually start. Three times in the next four days, over a weekend (of course), the vehicle hesitated before starting again and again, twice at night in a dark parking lot! Took the vehicle to dealership where it was purchased and has had all maintenance work performed. They replicated the problem, "inspected and found code b12c5 stored in the pcm. Diagnosed and found a *defective* engine start/stop switch." in every instance, the vehicle was stationary, in park, on a level, dry surface. Since the vehicle is out of warranty by one year and 10,000 miles, i had to pay to replace a defective part! |
