Replying to: twinsdadnj (Aug 04, 2009 6:00 pm) I had it towed to a local mechanic and told them to look at any "wear and tear" type items like dead battery, etc. Figured if it was simple then it was the cheaper alternative to taking it to the dealer (which is 20 miles away and I would have to have it towed). Called the dealer and they said that they would have to honor the bumper to bumper. They did fix some other problems last week with no problems (nothing related to ignition) so I hope the trend continues. Replies to this message: twinsdadnj (Aug 07, 2009 10:00 am)

Replying to: twinsdadnj (Aug 05, 2009 8:38 am) Happy to report that is was a simple dead battery and my local mechanic checked the charging system, etc. I would have bet large that is was something else due to the CD shuffling, etc but everything else checked out OK. Crisis averted.

#66 of 66 HAVING ISSUES STARTING??? by bigguynj Nov 21, 2009 (6:40 am)
Listen up!! I have a 2006 torrent with roughly 55,000miles on it. One morning I went out to try and start the vehicle and nothing. Just clicked so i tried it again and it started. I went for awhile using the car where it would be a crap shoot if it started or not bc I found a new starter was around $375-500. Do not let anybody tell you you need a new starter without first, if you're handy, just taking the starter out and replacing the starter solenoid. It cost me $30 and so far so good. its been 2 weeks with no issues. I found the points in the unit were burned up after i broke it open. The only modification I had to do was make up a Stak-On ring for the ignition switch on the unit. The original was an actual connector. Well good luck and I hope this works out for you!!!!!
