Sometimes it will start with no problem. Other times I have to jump start it. Replaced it with a new battery. It didn't fix the problem. Took it to the dealer and they told me it was the alternator and it would cost me over $400.00 to buy and replace it. I bought the alternator at Advance Auto for $170.00 and replaced it myself. It was easy and only took 15 minutes. Went through checking all my fuses throughout the vehicle and yet the problem is still ongoing. So far about $280.00 and over about 4 hours worth of time into solving the problem and nothing yet. Any input couldn't hurt.

Drove to the supermarket and went in shopping for about an hour. Came out and unlocked the car using the electronic lock unlock. Went to start the car and nothing but a buzz sound. No advanced warning; nor the battery indicator light come on warning me. No low headlights the previous night. The charge indicator on the instrument registered normal.
Knew exactly what to do; took battery out and replaced it with a new one. My gripe on this one is there was no advance warning at all; usually the voltage indicator in the instrument panel shows low/ or no charge. This was not the case.
