| Description of the problem | Parked car in the garage from the day before. Was leaving for work the next morning and it would not start. I called for a tow truck. When the driver arrived, he tested the battery and said that its not the problem. So i drove my other car to work. A co worker has the same model car stated that she had the same problem. Her car was towed to dealership and she was told it was an ignition issue. What a coincidence!! After work i went home to see if the car would not start. The first attempt... Nothing... The second attempt it started right away. Someone has to look into this. Two same model cars with the same issues. Had it been a dire situation where i need to flee from injury, the car could possible not start. Nhtsa could you please check into this more thoroughly. |
