Car Won't Start
 

Hello, I got a little problem here...:confused:

I have a '06 IX, no engine mods at all with about 30k miles on the clock. Its got a full tank, spark plugs changed 10k miles ago, still on the stock battery.

The past 3 days I noticed when I would start the car from being cold, it would struggle to turn on. As the car warmed up and I had to shut it off then start it up again it wouldn't struggle...it would just fire up like a champ.

As the days went on it would get a little worse. Today when I was going to head off to work, the car didn't start at all. It doesn't even turn, all it does when you attempt to start it is a whining sound...just long and high-pitched like sound.

I check all the connections I could see from just opening the hood and everything is fine, as far as I can tell.
A tow is covered on my warranty and a stealership is just 3 or 4 miles away. Right now I'm just waiting for the tow truck so I can take it over there.

Any Ideas on what it could be?? Or what else I might be able to check??

Thanks in advance! :)

Let them worry :) could be many things. Get a rental. :d

Bet it could be the battery. 30K may need a new one. If it got started from a 'Jump', it's probably the battery.
Hey dude, if it is a battery, could you post what they prorate for you and if any cost? I found out later from my previous cars, they would have given me a new battery. Good luck!

05' Im on 53k and still stock battery:) keep us posted.

Sure, I hope its something simple like the battery.....which reminds me, I should have brought over my dad's battery tester..... :updown:

30k is the life of the Evo's battery? I thought it would last longer...

Life of battery depends on maintenance on them. My Infiniti last only 35K, Mech's say that's normal. But stupid of me, I jumped and traded my Dealer battery for a off the shelf one. I'd like the dealer battery cause you could see the water level and they give good prorate. {thumbup}

Just picked up the car from the stealership. It was just the battery the completely failed. They replaced it at no charge and claimed it was covered by warranty, which I find hard to believe. I'm just happy I didn't have to pay for it!

Prorated charge would have been 50% of a new battery cost (+/- $120).

Wow... congrats on something that i doubt I will ever get. good though

ya i did not get that neither...
