The consumer and his wife tried several times, to get the vehicle to start, so eventually they had a technician come and start the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where they were unable t o find a problem. The second occurrence happened on may 31, 2014.

However, the clock had zeroed out confirming the power failure. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but they were unable diagnose a problem. *jb |
