Description of the problem | I have intermittent problems with the car starting. I have read through some of the forums and see others are having the same problem. If i have the power "on" and put it in drive them back in park it starts after several attempts. I have had the started and battery tested and they are not malfunctioning. This happens almost everyday for the last several months. |
