(once i had waited 2 hours before it would start.) i had a locksmith look at it who said he could fix it (ultimately he couldn't) but ended up paying $135.00 for that service and then fighting him with the attorney general's help and got a refund. i still have the problem. this has been going on for almost a year. i took it to a dealer and they said it is "probably" the computer and charged me $80.00 to tell me that. he said he could "try" to fix that problem for about $450.00. i don't want to deal with this anymore and wish someone could help me. *nm.Mileage was 85000 miles.
