Default Car wont start

My car was working find one day, then the next day it wont start. I think its the battery since it tries to power up, but just dies. Want to know if the car is known to have this kinds of problems.

I don't think these cars have known problems like this. Have you tried jumping the car? Letting it charge on the cables for a few mins and see if it keeps its charge the next day?

check your alternator fuse... if its blown you will basically have a dead battery everytime you get in your car...

Yep... first things first is to check the connections. If you don't have a lot of time and want to narrow it down as soon as possible, I would take the battery out, take it to a local store (autozone/kragen) and have it checked. They can charge the battery for you for free as well.... Its either that or your alternator would be the problem.

I had this problem once, and then I realized it was in neutral...
