Hi Emily, has this been a recurring issue or did it just start? Also what is the history of the battery? I might guess the battery is weak and might require replacement. There might be other issues, but let's start with this okay?

hello,yes it has been a recurring problem, also i just replaced the battery about 6 months ago, I took the car to a mechanic and he's telling me it's the starter, and i thought i got that fixed right before i got the battery, but apparently i have been taken for a ride, it's cause i'm a female, or these people just are in this to rip people off
