| Description of the problem | If i have to pump the brakes to get the car started, will i soon have to pump the brakes to stop?????? Vehicle not recognize the key. Happened several times prior to 6/15/2013. Just thought the key needed to be charged. But on this date i pull up at a hotel, checked in and went to move the car and it wouldn't start. Sat for an hour or two. Replaced battery a few weeks prior so it wasn't that. Had to be towed to a pepboys. Too late for a dealership, a saturday evening, and i was over 5 hours from home. The car was dropped off across from the bays therefore they were unable to connect the diagnostic machine. After setting for a couple more hours it finally crank. They said it was the starter, as of today i have not replaced the starter. In august it did it again twice while my 16 yr was driving it to school. A couple of times in september. I took it to the dealer on 10/14/2013, their diagnosis were: replace brake sw, sub harness, and tie straps. And now almost on a daily basis want start without pumping the brakes. I'm the only one that drives the car now because i'm afraid of the brakes eventually giving out. |
