    Has anyone experienced problems starting? It won’t happen every time but when it does it will start and then die. I’ll have to wait a couple minutes and then try again, I’ll do this a couple times and then it will start and run fine.

    Just want to know what it is so i can get it fixed.

    I would recommend cleaning the battery terminals and making sure it's tightened. If that doesn't work, drive it to a local auto parts store to load test the battery and alternator.

    I had a friend with a 2009 who had a simular problem. Swapped the battery, the problem continued. The starter was the actual problem.
