Strongly dislike them. We have a few that run wild in this town.

Next door lady's Durango woodn't start today. Cranked fine, just no firing. Gas gauge was near bottom, put a few gallons in it, didn't help. Put my code reader on it, read fine. Sure was easy to troubleshoot cars when they had carbs and distributors. Not anymore. Maybe some of the youngun's understand these new ones, I don't. Last week her transmission was slipping a bit, told her probably transmission fluid low, but I couldn't find a dipstick. Looked in the owner's manual, said do not tamper with the transmission dipstick, dealer only. Huh? Checked internet, says takes a special tool, can't do it at home. Huh? At least I got points for the transmission fluid tip (but she still had to ask the dealer to do it), but today, could only tell the purty lady... towtruck.
If any of you plug a code reader in on a car with the start button thing, and it doesn't work, might be like hers, popped the button out and plugged in the key fob thing that you can turn, and that worked fine.

Did you in plug the battery for 10 seconds? Running cars almost out of fuel is hard on the puma as well.
