Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The car wouldn't start so i had it towed to the dealership. the technician tried it and it started right up for him. they couldn't find anything wrong with it. i'm not sure if i have it right but i was told the reason it didn't start was i had the wrong type of fuel, winter verses summer. the temperature dropped after thunder storms during the night. there's been quite a few times when the car didn't start up on the first turn of the key but i didn't think anything of it. there was another time when it didn't want to start but eventually did. it was a rainy, snowy night. this last time when it didn't start it had rained also. i'm wondering if it has more to do with the rain and not the fuel.*ak
