My 2008 Jeep Liberty is not starting from time to time,

Asked by Guru9Z3VCM Dec 22, 2020 at 07:36 AM about the 2008 Jeep Liberty

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 2008 Jeep Liberty is not starting from time to time, every few months. I've
had the battery, starter, and alternator tested and they don't need to be
replaced. However, a few times when it didn't start I jumped the battery and it
started. So I'm assuming something is draining my battery.  It usually happens
when I shut the car off then a few minutes later start it again. Like when
pumping gas. I've brought my car in to get looked at 3 times and they can't
find anything wrong with it. Can you think of anything that would cause the car
not to start sometimes? or something that is draining my battery?

Your mechanic can perform a parasite draw test to determine if anything is drawing amps from the battery. Maybe find another garage?
