Description of the problem	Drove to get ice cream and car was running well, without any problems. Shift the car off to order ice cream, and when getting back in the car, the car would not start. All the lights would come on and my music would play as well as the ac turned on, but nothing more than an almost silent ticking sound coming from under the hood. Had my husband try to jump the car to see if that helps, and nothing happened. I had the car towed home and the next morning, my husband and i replaced the ignition sensor fuse and the car started. Then a couple hours later i tried to start the car again, and it was doing the same thing. Car has been disabled ever since and is going on 1 week now. Car broke down on wednesday 31 july, 2019. Not to mention that i just had my radiator cooling fan replaced two days prior to this breakdown. I also had my replacement recall engine placed in just about a month ago. All of these problems are happening after the recall has been placed, and the only thing i get is kick back when i say this cannot be coincidental. I get told that my car has many miles on it so things are expected to break. Unacceptable and unappreciated and just down right wrong.
