Default Car Flipped Out!

Not literally but went to start my car sunday, so I could go wash it. Push the button to start without foot on brake, the music came on and then shut off. Then I proceeded to start the car and it just clicked three times, it then displayed electrical problem on the dash, then the bsm said it failed and some other warnings. I turned the car off and then on again and the car clicked again then it displayed vsc failed. I want to say that the collison center having the car for so long was the cause of it, other than that not sure what it could have been any ideas.

Just get rid of it man.

A dead/dying battery maybe? Try unplugging it and reset the car?

Sure sounds like a dying battery or one with a low charge.

No disrespect but how do you guys do this? Keep flipping cars. Can't imagine the money lost every time you upgrade to a higher model.

sounds like a bad battery or dead battery...


I've joined this forum not too long ago and it seems like you are always having issues with your car(no offense)... time to take it behind the barn...

Your car is turning into a BMW that just went past warranty.

Your issues seem eerily familiar.

Was the accident your fault? If not, did you file a diminished value claim with the at fault party's insurance?

maybe they had your trunk and doors opened? Not sure if the cabin / trunk lights would drain the battery like that though.

Not usually easy to accomplish but I usually find a way to get out of the car, this one I def would lose money.

Well this one I've had no issues with really, I think people confuse my silver car with this car. The problems seemed to have started after I got the car back from the collision center.

Yeah hopefully I can get into another car. Saw a LS crafted line they just got in hope the deal is right.

Was not my fault, problem is diminished value is hard to accomplish in ma vs other states.

That's what I was thinking as the front and rear bumpers were off. Went to dealer they said the battery was fine, guessing I'll have to get it towed there.
