When placing key in the ignition, the vehicle will not start. This happened intermittently. Sometimes it would not start whatsoever. Vehicle had to be towed to dealer once. On 3 separate occasions the vehicle would not start at the dealership. Dealer said the first incident was a faulty starter, but after a couple of weeks this problem happened again even after starter was replaced. In this process of back and forth to dealer on 4 different times there was several repairs of starter, sensor, computer board, and some other electronic component and these all stemmed from placing key in the ignition and the vehicle would not start. Dealer said this was ignition and starter related. This is still a problem. Dealer business manager has extended the warranty.
