It doesn-??t kick into gear like it should all the time my battery is always a hit or miss. I just spent $1000 on repairs and my power won-??t even work. It-??s an electric. and pray that it goes. It doesn-??t kick into gear like it should alternator all the time my battery is always a hit or miss. I just spent $1000 on repairs and my power. Siri won-??t even work.
