Not starting & rolls! HELP
About a couple days ago my hyundai santa fe (2009) did
not want to start . So first thought it was battery, all it did
was turn over..Lights inside the car on..keep trying to turn it
on. Wasn't going . So I got a boost , mechanic took a look
and said in order to start it I have to put it in
neutral..obviously wasn't pleased. So I tried that for a day
and after awhile it stopped letting me doing it that way.
Died wouldn't even let me move the shifter back to park. So
I brought it back he said it was the cable or neutral switch .
He said the cable looked alright , and it was the switch. So
we got a new one. Worked fine for about not even a week.
And bam , didn't want to start again(when I tried turning it
on this time it clicked) . I was obviously pissed so got it
boosted and looked at, I kept getting blamed that I don't
drive it often or that I leave my inside lights on..which I
don't. He said it could be the battery seizing up..even
though he checked the battery before and said it was fine.
We ended up changing it out yesterday for a new one. At
first it didn't want to start, it turned over like last time but no
start..but he kept being aggressive for it to finally start up.
So today it started like normal..I kept trying it. Went for a
drive and came back ..parked and turned it off. Then it
didn't turn on, called him..he said put it in neutral..I did and
it started . So I said honestly figure it out because I
shouldn't have to do this neutral stuff if it got fixed and the
battery got changed . I brought it there and went to park
it..and all of sudden it was rolling back..like what . So
does anyone have an idea what it is ? (New battery, new
switch..didn't want to start only in neutral again and now
rolls back in park) thankyou!
