Why wont my car start?!?
ok so ive been having this problem on and off the past 2 months. the first couple times it happened i went to the dealer and got the battery replaced. Now, sometimes i go and try to start my car and it doesn't even make a nose. all the happens is the dashboard freaks out and makes a slight clicking noise.
Also ive noticed that whenever i cant start my car the brake will barley move. But when my car starts fine i can push the brake in a fair amount before starting it. this morning my car didnt start and i had to jumpstart it to get to school. Then after school it didnt start so i had to jumpstart it again. But when i got home i let it rest for 2 hours and went out to start it and it started up fine. can someone please tell me what could be wrong?? |

I don't know about the not starting part - perhaps your battery needs replacing.
However on the brake pedals, it's fairly normal. Try any other cars on the market and step on the brakes a few times while the car isn't started and the pedal will get pretty hard to step on. Not 100% sure of the mechanics but it's normal. |

Did you register the new battery? Also check for loose cables, next you starter.

Heard about this on the news like 2 days ago. They have a recall regarding one of the power wires coming from the battery to the fuse box "Decaying" (?). Apparently ur car will shut off completely without any prior symptoms? Give it a look maybe. |

Or maybe something is consuming power still after you walk away from the car? I've heard this to be an issue with people who have comfort access parking too close to they FOB? IDK. Just throwing some stuff out there.
