| Description of the problem | Vehicle (recently purchased used) would not start when pushing start button in vehicle. The first day it would start using remote start on fob. However, this problem occurred again next day and would not start from inside car or using remote outside car. It appeared to start remotely but would die within seconds. When trying to start from inside engine would crank but not start. After several start attempts, i could smell fuel. After 20 minutes and probably 15 attempts, engine started and i was able to return home. Have been afraid to drive vehicle since after reading numerous complaints on internet. There is a recall for this 2011 model relating directly to this problem, but only for vehicles manufactured before 7/20/2010. This vehicle shows a manufacture date of 9/2010. This problem has been identified and is being investigated for defective fuel pump relay in tipm. I am afraid to drive the car. |
