3- unlock and start.

Fix was done last year, then is a SIB out there. (they can call the Quebec City dealership, they know exaclty the problem

It is a relay that has to be changed.

The Regina dealership also called me (since I moved there) to offer the recall but it was done already (6 months ago)

It is a know problem and it will always restart fine the next day. It happens with -30 temperature and below, even if car is warm.

It happen to me twice putting gas in the car after driving it a long time, and a couple more time just stopping at the convenience store. Since the relay change, many -30 temperature and no problem.

Good luck.
can you share the SIB # with us? should be listed in the invoice.

thanks,
