Car Won't Start

[Vsin]

I get into my car with three other people and turn on the A/C to max because there were girls in the car and y'know how they are. Outside it was about 101 Degrees Fahrenheit. We go to pickup a fourth and final passenger. I pour gas and get it to 3/4 full with $20. I get to my mom's Nail Salon and turn my car off. When we're about to leave, my car won't start. I jump start my car and it works! I drive home and park in the driveway. I turn it off and try to turn it on again. Nope, no cigar. So, tomorrow I'm going to the dealership. Anyone know what is up with it before I do?

Cliff Notes:
1. Drove with A/C Max in 101 Degree Fahrenheit weather.
2. Full Car (5 People)
3. Tank 3/4 Full
4. Car Won't Start
5. Jump started, drove home.
6. Car won't start.

Sounds like a bad battery.

check the battery connections, my car has done that before and the battery connection was loose. Also 6 months later my car wouldn't start so I push started it and drove it to the dealer, ended up being a dead cell in the battery, covered under the warranty

that's what i'd think. bad battery. a good test is to turn on your headlights (hi beams) and if they're dim, or flicker or somethin, your battery is shot. I doubt it but your starter could've fried or lost a connection?

btw, how hard is it to push start our cars?

if it's not the power then check the starter... well just have the dealership check it

hope u get it fixed...

not to thread jack. but is anyone else's positive battery terminal at a weird angle. it doesn't look square. and the dealership can't say warranty void on that bc i had to slightly move the cable for my SRI install.

I would say you have your AC on when your car is not on and having your sounds on your car while your cas is off. H

Hmmm?


/Bad battery.

I have the same issue. Battery has an open cell. I'm going to take it in on Wed.

pretty easy, I've had to do it twice actually, just need someone to give you a good push, manual FTW!!!!!

or when you're going downhill, you can start the car without cranking the engine!

And we have a winner. Thanks again everybody. Car is running perfectly. Even gave her a wash to make up for burning her out.
