| Description of the problem | I am guessing it is "electrical". Since new (2007), this vehicle has had problem with intermittent starting. Random, unpredictable. Turn key to start, nothing happens, no click, nothing. There is power in acc position (lights, dash, etc ok). When it happens, have been able to wiggle gear shifter, put it into park multiple times, push on the brake pedal, wiggle shifter more.. Then usually it starts. Have also tried it in neutral, and it started in neutral (not safe). Dealership service dept multiple tmes has been unable to root cause it or permanently fix it. Danger of leaving older female driver stranded as it has in parking garages, etc. One should be able to confidently start a vehicle that has no other problems and is well taken care of. To stay when it happened - not a one time thing. It has happened multiple time over the years, starting back in 2007 when it was still under warranty. |
