One morning as I was going to head to work, I tried turning on my car, but nothing happened, only the lights came on. So I took out my key and I tried it again, and it turned on! I thought nothing of it until it happened again when it was time to head home from work. I started getting worried.

Later that night I was driving on the freeway and the RPMs were wiggling a little bit. The next day I took it to the dealership and they took a couple days to find the issue. It was the wiring for my sun visor that was causing my car's electronic system to freak out. So I had them disconnect the sun visor and the car is working again!
