Hey guys, so this started as the weather started getting a little colder were my key fob wouldnt unlock my doors on first attempt. Then got to the point where my truck wouldn't fire up first attempt. For some reason I had better luck tuning the key over to on position, waiting for 5 seconds as if it was a diesel, then turning the key right over to start. The truck will turn on but shut right off. Takes about 7 try to keep it going and not die right away. When giving the truck some gas to try and keep it going it dies right away. Now the truck needs a boost to start it everytime. With a boost it turns over great. Any idea what this could be? Thanks so much.

Has your dealership addressed any of this for you?
