4 times in the last 30 days my 03 ES 300 has had to be towed to the dealer because it won't start. I have been stranded at work, at the market, at my child's school and in my garage. The dealer has said they can't find anything wrong with it. Service Mgr. says it starts for him.

This has become extremely aggravating and possibly dangerous. I am a female and work over 30 miles from my home.

Has anyone had this problem? If so please advise.

Hello,

Starting with simple question:

When you try to start (Key in ignition and turn) what happen?

Cranking , not , etc.

Thanks,

Thats bizzare...

I agree with Camlex we need more symptoms. Have you tried ti jump start it when it fails to start? Do you ever smell any gas?

you may have to leave it with the service manager so that they can drive it for the week and hopefully it won't start eventually.

Does it just happen when the engine is cold or will it not start when the engine is warm/hot? Does it ever just cut out when it is already running?

in accordance with the other posts: what sound does it make when it won't start?

does it go click click click or whhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhh wwhhhhhhhhhrrrrrhhhhhhh wwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhh?

you need three things to start a car: fuel, spark and air. the trick is to find out what is missing when your car won't start.
