Description of the problem | Purchased this car dealer certified after being leased for 9 months by someone else, from new rochelle toyota. Had 5700 miles on it at the time of purchase. Since purchase it does not always start the first time, sometimes taking 3-4 times to start, and making strange noises, it sounds like its going to start and then dies. Has been to the shop 3 times and going in for the 4th time today, on 12/4 a new fuel pump relay was installed, starts better but still unknown reason why it at times it still takes 3-4 times to start it. Is a mystery , nothing shows up on the tech computers after it happens over and over again. Have owned toyotas for over 17 years never expected an issue like this. Also lights flicker and there are strange noises when attempting to start and unsuccessful. No rhyme or reason to this issue. Took possession of the car 10-13-15 i think it is a lemon. I have a video of what happens dont think i can upload to this website. |
