| Description of the problem | Waking up to go to work, i attempted to start my car. I have have no problems with the vehicle since i purchased it a year ago, and with only 65k miles i didnt expect any problems. Since im not a car guy i got it towed since it wouldnt start. No ticking no nothing, and no warning at all. The mechanic said the battery was in good order but it was the eis that was the problem. Looks to be a major concern and a common problem for other owners. What a way to start the week of christmas in texas with 70 degree weather |
