Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The day after i bought the brand new 2007 jeep grand cherokee diesel, i unlocked the doors with the key fob, opened a couple of the doors and loaded my luggage, then i did the key sequence on the keyfob (lock+panic) to turn off the beep when you lock the car. after all this i tried to start it (correct starting procedure - wait for glow light to go out) and the starter cranked the engine with no firing at all. i repeat and wait 5 times over about 5 minutes, it failed to start each time. finally after i have waited about 2 more minutes, i tried again and it fired right up like it is supposed to. i am concerned the car could fail to start again. updated 01-16-08. *kb
