This evening I went out to start the car. The temp. Was about 32 degrees. The car would not start. Since this has happened before, I did what the service dept. At the dealer suggested and pushed the gas to the floor and tried again with no luck. I was told before that this could be a problem with the air being cold. Why would they sell a car where it snows if it won't start. My wife is expecting a baby in 8 weeks and we need a reliable car. The dealer does not seem anxious to help solve the problem. Today is jan. 6, 2003 and I cannot register below as 2003 because it is not offered on the drop down box. Therefore I am registering as 2002.

Went out in the morning and the car would not start. Tried all day to get it to start and finally had it towed to the dealer. The next day the car started without problem and the dealer says they could do nothing as long as the car started. We were told it could be the air temp., which was about 40 degrees the morning that the car wouldn't start. If we would have dreamed of having problems with this car we would have never bought it!!
