I was driving the car normally on an extremely hot day. I had parked it outside of one of my stops and when I tried to start it by remote start, the horn honked and then it just began clicking and flashing the yellow lights. The dealership said the battery needed jumped and I had to wait for the tow truck to come and jump it. Once I let it charge for 40 minutes, I backed it in the drive way and shut it off. It will not start again and I have to have it towed to the dealer. Friend thinks it is the alternator...

Car started fine when I left work, stopped at a shopping mall for an errand and when I returned the car would not start. Nothing but clicks. Called road service for a tow, which was 26 miles for my repair tech ( I don't use dealerships) It was a bad starter solenoid (??) and they have had more a few problems with the make and model. Problem is it happened far too soon. Starters do go out, but usually not under 100000 miles and usually you have some warning.
