A Little Problem..
OK, sometimes when i put my key in the slot and put my foot on the break and then press the START button to start the car..it doesnt turn on :iono:, it just rumbles like it wants to start on but doesnt, so sometimes when i take my foot off the brake it starts or i have to do it over again...anyone wit the same problem?

"rumbles", as in it turns over (motor makes a rr-rr-rr-rr-rr sound), or some other type of rumble?
Do you place your foot firmly on the brake (and clutch, if 6MT) before pressing the start button? (this post might get more play in the M/S/W forum)

If I simultaneously insert the fob, and immediately press the start button, mine will not do anything. I have to wait about a second after the fob is inserted to be able to press the button (no gloating from you CA people). :wink:
Sounds like you have the steptronic tranny though, since you did not mention depressing the clutch. If so, you might want to add that tidbit, and then a fellow slushie driver can give you their experiences. |
