Hello! I've been looking at the forums and I just joined because I have major issues of my own that have been going on for a while now. Basically it all started once I got the car; I was having issues with the car dying constantly. They did a battery check at the dealership (Their battery, five year warranty), and it was a guy I knew and trusted, he said nothing was wrong. After a few more weeks of constant jump starts and electronic multimeter tests for shorts, I had my friend do more battery tests and they said the cold cranks were too low, and helped me get a new battery. It worked for a couple days. I wouldn't use the car for a few days and it would still work, so everything seemed to be good.
BUUUUUUT then more problems started.
First, I am in Missouri, which temperatures change drastically day to day. We had an ice storm and my windows closed shut. After two hours of working on it. they finally opened, but the window went all the way back up before I closed it, so the window wouldn't work correctly. I had to start keeping the window cracked, as whenever I opened the door, it wouldn't bring down the window all the way.
One morning I went to go open my car and it wouldn't open. So I thought the same problem happened. I used the emergency key, and opened the trunk then the car door. I learned people don't like car alarms going off at 630am in apartment complexes. The car was still working but my key fobs wouldn't work. The car wouldn't even recognize them in the center console (Which I believe is where the senor for the fobs are). After a few weeks of sitting there while I worked constantly, I had my friend come back over. Car was dead (4 weeks later) and we got it to jump start. Car wouldn't recognize the fobs still. The security light would come on whenever i pressed the lock button, the brake light would come on when you pressed on it. We reset the car (Battery wires cross thing) And it worked for a few minutes, then turned off. I realized the oil was about 4 quarts low, filled it up, and it started back up again. Let it sit about ten minutes, drove across the street and got gas, started it back up and brought it home.
The next morning, car was dead, tried to jump start, and the alarm came on. Keyfob wouldn't work.... What do I do?
