Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I am unable to start my car in cold weather. anytime it gets below 30 degrees, the car will crank and not turn over. i tried replacing the battery. that did not work. the car otherwise starts in warmer weather. this is unreasonable. i can't be stuck in the wintertime with this vehicle. i've heard there are others who have this same problem. maybe you should look into this and maybe process a recall for this issue. *jb
