It's really cold in Canada those days. It was -23 C ( -10 Farhenheit) north of Montreal this morning and my Atlas (v6 4motion) failed to start. The battery simply couldn't start the engine. I had to get a boost from my stepbrother Ford F-150 (you can easily see the smile on his face).
This is not normal. My Atlas has less the 7 000 miles. It's a new car. My dealer could only schedule an appointement on January 5th. Until then I am stuck with an unreliable car, always fearing that it won't start during this cold wave that will last and few more days.
The battery failed me before two weeks ago, for no apparent reason, when the temperature wasn't so hard (like 14 F / -10C). Combined with the strong smell of gaz after ignition during cold morning, I feel the Atlas is not a great winter car. I am not happy.
Anyone experienced something similar?
