| Description of the problem | The vehicle has a new battery which is correctly installed and free of corrosion. When the key fob is placed into the ignition and moved forward, the vehicle will not start. The dash lights come on, and it should start, but it does not. If you keep trying, or walk away and come back after a few minutes and try again, it does sometimes start. This intermittent problem seams to have no rhyme or reason and i am concerned the vehicle might stop while my wife or i drive it. This generally happens 4 to 5 times a month. Any help would be appreciated. |
