| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: When the weather began to warm up last summer my car started to have problems starting. i would turn the key and my engine would turn and turn but not fire correctly. after a few tries, it would finally start up. i didn't think any thing of this problem at first, but after a while it started misfiring like this quite freqently after the weather began to get really warm and humid outside and i had previously driven my vehicle that day. i have had all the recalls fixed on my car, including the recall for the ignition switch, but this problem with starting my car still persisted. one day i went out to my car and it didn't start at all and it ended up my battery had died and i don't know if this had anything to do with the above stated problem, but i'm sure the rough starts were not good on my battery either. i finally made an appointment with the local chevrolet dealer after i had them install a new battery and they kept it for a couple days and couldn't find anything wrong with it. not suprisingly, the day after i got my car back, it started rough again. i bought one of those manuals that helps you identify and correct automobile problems yourself, so i have replaced coolant sensors, spark plugs, spark plug wires, and fluids, but the problem still persisted. it is now february 2005 and the weather is cooler outside and i haven't had any problems thus far. i'm afraid when it starts to get warmer outside, though, that i'll begin to have this problem again. is there any help that i can get with this problem? are there any recalls or has anybody else had the same problem? thank you for any help. |
