[QUOTE="lanco123, post: 15874269, member: 183390"] Hey guys, Thanks for the replies. I do keep the car on a Battery Tender over the winter when it is not being driven for 3 months straight. But during the other 9 months of the year, I don't install the tender because the car usually gets driven once or twice every few weeks. I do believe I'm living on borrowed time with the factory battery though, so you may getting at something there. But I never had a faulty battery give such intermittent issues; usually, in my experience, one day the battery is functioning, next day it is not (if indeed the battery fails). I seemed to remember that someone else had a similar problem and they said it turned out to be the clutch safety switch. I'll have the dealership look at it the next time I have the car in for service or inspection, as I'm still under full extended warranty. Although I can't imagine they'll be jumping to replace the part if the symptoms aren't occurring at the time :). Any other ideas? Hopefully we are on to something here. Thanks. Matt [/QUOTE]
