| Description of the problem | My car is not starting up. When i push key start and press the brakes the lights on the dash comes on but the car wont start. If i wait a fews hours then it will start. I have waited as long as 5 hours in a parking garage. The car reads "key not in vehicle". I have gotten new batteries for both key fobs. The first time the car did this after a few hours later it started and i didn't have an issue for about 3 weeks. Since that time the car has not started on 3 other occasions. I had to have it towed to the dealership. They said i needed the fuel injectors cleaned. So i paid to have that done and then the car started every time for one day. The very next day the wouldn't start again in my driveway. After an hour it started and then the next day it did the same thing and my daughter missed work. When the car doesn't start all the lights and radio come on but the car just wont start. Every time this has happened the car has been stationary. I cant leave my car running while i go to the store because i'm afraid it will not turn back on. I have read article about this same issue from other people with the push start vehicle. |
