Default Re: Starting Issue, Kind of Weird

Maybe yours fixed itself!?! Probably no such luck, but I am glad to hear it is starting. Mine does too, just have to hit the key a few times.

I don't want to take it into the dealer at this point. Since there are no issues according to the computer, it would likely cost a pile of money and possibly go nowhere.

I work with a guy who owns a new Challenger. Hemi and all. He was driving down the road a few days ago and suddenly the car lost power. It just seemed to have lost about 40% of its juice.

No check engine light, no codes. A trip to the dealer at first resulted in nothing. They were baffled with no info from the ECM. Finally, a mechanic that had heard of the problem on another vehicle suggested changing a sensor related to the transmission (his is a stick, not an automatic) and it fixed the problem. Replaced the sensor, all the power was back.

It's that kind of unusual stuff that makes me leary of taking it into the dealer at this time, but I may if the starting issue gets worse.

Just seems like someone on the forum would have a better answer. Here's hoping!
