I took the ZHP to my Indy today for an oil change. First one after 9 months of ownership. He evaluated the service needs and suggested:
1) low pressure power steering hoses
2) expansion tank with hose
3) brake fluid flush
I agreed and he completed the above. In addition he mentioned 2 things that he noticed:
a) differential mount cracking
b) front brakes due in 3 to 6 months
The car has now a clean bill of health, and he said I could drive anywhere in the country.

At 139,401 miles this is pending:
1- Windshield fluid leak.
2- Car won't start sometimes. It happened to me 6 times in 9 months.

4- Rear tires.
5- Car won't start sometimes. It happened to me 3 times in 6 months.
6- Oil change.
7- Ask my Indy to do a PPI (post purchase inspection).
Other than the above, this is a solid car.

Cool. So, battery or fuel pump 1st? Starter?

My Indy checked the battery yesterday. He said it's from 2010 and still works like a new one.
Fuel pump, first time I think about it. Could be a good suspect.
Starter must be fine, because the battery cranks when the problem shows.
Indy said to take car to his shop next time issue shows, so they can troubleshoot.
Thanks for the ideas !

I would recommend changing out the fuel pump if it's still OE... when changing that out be sure to change out the fuel filter as well fredo

Fredo, as you saw on my car (except for too much gas, lol) thst you can DIY the fuell pump. Very straightforward. The fuel filter is under the car and very straightforward too, just a little trickier as you have to get the car up on jack stands.

That's about when my FP started acting wonky. Then, it died.

One more time, the car didn't start today (7 times in 9 months). I'm curious why 4 of the 7 times happened in the morning, after dropping my boy at school. Must be a coincidence.
