CarComplaints.com Notes: Buying the first model year of any vehicle is rarely a good idea. You become a guinea pig for the automaker and they are really not nice to guinea pigs.
I bought the car at an auction (AS-IS), I checked on the history and found a single owner and no significant issues or reported accidents. Low mileage (117k) and it lasted less than 12 hours before it was dead and needed a tow to a repair shop. I'll update the report when we get the cost and reason for the issue. The car would start and then instantly stop. I tried 8 times to start the car and the battery failed. We got a jump start and the engine would crank but not start.
This intermittent starting problem has been a problem since new.It has been jump started 9 times and looked at in garages both in Canada & U.S.They have put in a new battery and done all their tests and can't find nothing wrong.The most unreliable car i have ever owned.
