Starter Issue - the first two YouTube vids show how their starter issue was fixed. one was with a new starter motor and the other was direct wiring into the starter relay fuse as the contacts were corroded in the fuse box where it was plugged in, also there was another linked to someone whose immobilizer orange car light on the dash was not lighting up and the car wouldn't start so they opened up the ignition area and cleaned the contacts on a relay in there and then the immobilizer car light came back on and up it started. so there are a few things to look for. :( but all possible fixes :)
Brought this used car from the dealer for my daughter a week ago and already experiencing the car not starting intermittently. What can be the problem?
This problem just started and so far it's been twice. First time I had been running errands all afternoon and had no problem until I hopped in the car after my last stop to head home and it won't start. The engine, oil and battery lights all came on and the air conditioning was running but it wouldn't start. It's not the battery because I just had that replaced six months ago. I tried it again after a couple minutes and it started. Next time it happened (about three weeks after the first time) it was after working a 12 hour shift at the hospital. Same exact thing, engine, oil and battery lights all came on but the car wouldn't start. After 15-20 minutes of sitting there I tried again and it started.
This is crazy that Hyundai can't figure out this problem. I can't have a car that I can't depend on. Not sure what to do at this point.
It doesn't matter the season or how long I've driven the car that day. There will be a time when the car won't start and in less than a minute it starts or it won't start at all. There have been times when this problem would happen 2-3 times a week or go as long as once a month. I leave the car at a location and call a tow truck for pickup, than the car starts. I left the car in the parking lot a my job overnight, get to parking lot, the car won't start, a half an hour later the car starts. This car has been to the dealer and the service team cannot diagnose the problem
