Default When the engine won't start

As a car accumulates more miles, then the chances of engine failure also increase. If a car is still new but the engine won't start, what is this normally and indication of?

It could indicate any number of things including a bad starter, bad battery, bad spark plugs, bad gas and so much more. To properly diagnose it you would need more details like if it rolls over at all or if it just gives you silence when you turn the key

As skippy said, it can be many things. For the record, there are newer cars that for whatever reason have had a problem with the engine. I know this because my brother had one. He had to get a brand new engine on a car that was only a year old.

It is definitely a long list. It could be something minor, but it also could be a costly thing. I have it be everything from the battery to the alternator.

Either way, I hate it when a car engine starts being problematic at the very early stages. If there is anything I have learned to be really careful about is the status of the engine.
