1. Mika Says: Okay, so two weeks ago I went to the library, and when I came out two hours later my car wouldn't start. I went inside, and tried to start my car up and a hour later it started up. Today, I drove to the gas station and pump some gas, when I went back in my car it wouldn't start up. I called a tow truck, and surprisingly by the time he got there (which was a hour later) my car started up. He opened my hood and told me the case on my battery was lose and then another case over a bunch of fuses is broken on the side. He said that their is probably lose gravel getting inside these compartments. I took the car to the dealership both times, the first time they couldn't find anything wrong with the car, the second time they stated they "think" the auto start is causing the problem. Can the autostart cause your car to not start?

3. fredrulz Says: Sure can. Could be wireing or the starter going out to.
