If the battery hasn't been changed.

You are due for one . They go out like clockwork at about 6 years.
(Or well before 6 years if you haven't been driving enough since these
cars are battery hogs . Its best to have battery tender with one of these cars)
They cause all kinds of strange problems when they get weak and
also the car is hard to jump when they finally go. Its better to be preemptive
with the battery change so you don't get caught at Costco or autozone or
get raped by the stealer ship for a battery and programming for 500 plus bucks.
