Engine problems since owning car. Car cranks but won't start. Has happened too many times to count since I've owned the car. The incident date I chose was the first time it happened. It happened the first time 2 months after a recall repair had been done and has continued until today. The vehicle component I chose is a guess since the problem has never been determined. Many things have been replaced but the problem persists.
