Q: Starting Issue - 2006 Jeep Comander

asked by on November 10, 2016

My Jeep won't start right away when it is cold. I turn the key and it just clicks once. Lights all work etc. Battery 1 month only, engine was put in brand new 3500 miles ago. I have heard that there is a recall on the ignition or maybe the starter?

My car has 3500 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
