| Description of the problem | Multiple times i would try to start the vehicle and the battery would be dead. After jumping the car off it would operate without a problem. I took the car to a repair shop and had it checked but no problems were found. On 02/01/2021 the car again would not start. I had a mechanic jump the car off and i let it idle to build up the battery. After a few minutes there was a noise and then smoke started coming out from under the hood. Then fire! |
