Remote started our car this morning so that it would be warmed up for when I put our 2 yr old in. Came out & it was off. (I know, it has a timer & goes off on it's own) I remote started it again as we walked to the car, put our stuff in & then started it with the key so that I could turn on the heat. I buckled my son in, got in driver's seat, buckled up & it died. Radio, heat, lights were all still on. I turned the key to the off position & tried to restart it. It was trying but just wouldn't. Finally, after 3-4 tries, ran the battery down.
I had to have my dad come over. He tried to charge my battery with a battery charger....nothing. Then connected the jumper cables which got my battery back up....BUT IT STILL WOULDN'T TURN OVER!!! It was like it wasn't getting any fuel. I had to have my daughter take my son to daycare & my dad took me to work. (An hour late....) My husband came home this afternoon & it still wouldn't start. (The gas gauge showed a little under a quarter of a tank, approx 53 miles, and my driveway is at a slope.) He put gas in the car & then it started.....ANYONE know what this could be caused from? It was about 31 degrees F.
Needless to say, I have already contacted the dealership I bought it from and tomorrow Buick WILL be contacted. Tired of this POS!!!!!
