Feb 20102560 mi | Vehicle went in for Preventive Maintenance (Oil Change, etc) and to have rough (harsh) shifting checked out. Shop could not replicate problem, but performed a PCM Update (TSB 05-06-05) to improve shifting. Problem persists anyway. | ||

Apr 201875000 miUS $500 | Replacing starter cured the intermittent no crank issue. Vehicle does not crank starter. This happens randomly. The ignition lock module was replaced. No codes are listed. Dealers do not know what the problem is. The fault never occurs at the shop. I have had to get the vehicle towed twice. Both times it started right off the wrecker. I have tried to start it for 2 hours before calling the wrecker. Pushing in the key and changing the shifter do not work when the fault occurs. Its maddening. Now the vehicle cannot be trusted. |
