Car wouldn't start!

MF8097 · 11-14-2007, 10:39 AM

When I got in my car this morning to go to work, my car wouldn't start.
I have comfort access so, I pressed the Start button and all I would get is the radio and the lights to come on. I press it again and it'll try to start but it won't. I can hear the starter clicking away for few seconds and then it'll just stop and then nothing. I did this for about 10 min and then finally got it started.

I even tried putting my key in the slot and pressing the start button first then pressing the brakes and also pressing the brakes and pressing the start button.

Anyone had this issue before?
For the last week or two, I had times where I have to press the start button 2 or 3 times to get it started.

get out and kick the car a few times

maybe a fuel pump issue? it's definately something worth looking into. how many miles on the car?

your key fob may be out of batteries...

Sounds sort of like a low battery, based on the clicking, and the not starting part.

Starter?

I'm going to go to the dealer next week anyways, but I was just wondering if others had the same issue already.

This car is only 3 months old now.
