Three weekends in a row my vehicle failed to start. No power, no lights, nothing. Figuring that the issue was the battery, I went to Orilleys and got a new battery. The salesperson at the time said the old battery still had a good charge and is not sure why the car wouldn't start. I went ahead and got the new battery, anyway. Installed it and the car started. The very next weekend the same thing happened again (with a new battery). After 30 or 40 minutes of trying, the engine will start. This has happened, consistently, over the last 3 months. I do not have any other equipment plugged into my vehicle.
