Hello Again. I am glad I am heading to the dealer tomorrow. Tonight when I was cranking it I saw smoke from under the engine. I popped the hood and saw smoke was coming from the starter area. I have never had to crank so hard to get a car started as I have with this problem. It is like it is not getting gas until way into the cranking process and then poof. it starts up and runs fine. It takes about 30 tries sometimes to get it started. I have never seen a starter smoke like that. It seems like it starts when the battery is starting to slow down. I know when it is going to start because I see the tcs and abs light start blinking and then it starts . I am aggravated with it and hope the dealer can do something to get it back on the right track.I am not sure if the smoke was coming from the starter wires or the starter itself. Every time I have started it I seemed to smell a funny odor like something was getting hot. Should it do that with hard starting or could it be a bad postive cable. Any thoughts on it. Thank you, Kim
