Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The vehicle would randomly fail to start over a period of 2 months, usually in the morning. all lights, gauges, radio, and heater would work, but the engine would not crank. after turning the key 4-5 times, it would eventually start. one time, nothing worked and had to jump start the battery. i replaced the battery and 1 week later, it did not turn over again at all, but everything else was working. i let it sit, and tried it later in the day, of which it started right away. i took it to the dealer and they tested it. they had the problem happen twice on the first day and determined the cause to be the starter terminal wiring pigtail was corroded, and they replaced it with a new one. *jb
