Its not like the old days when they would slowly turn the engine over then click click. They can turn the car over one minute and click the next. Seems they get to a point where the computers say no go.If its older than the manufacturer warranty or close to it. Good chance it's had it. I got a 620cca century. Car literally seems to go better. 1

I kept on having a message showing on the screen that Bluetooth was turned off and never knew why.Once I replaced the battery, I never had the problem again. Weird and wonderful things happen when batteries go flat in our cars. 1
