    I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU GET YOUR VEHICLES COMPUTER SCANNED TO FIND OUT JUST WHAT THE PROBLEM IS FIRST SO THEN YOU WILL HAVE SOME IDEA WHAT IS WRONG AS WELL AS WHAT TO EXPECT.

    TRY FINDING AN INDEPENDENT AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP INSTEAD OF THE DEALER OR ANY CHAIN STORE BECAUSE YOU WILL BE OVERALL MORE PLEASED WITH THE PERSONAL SERVICE THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE.

    Sounds like the battery. You can take it to a mechanic or any place where they change oil and they can test your battery free of charge. It could also be your starter, but it's still a pretty new car so I'd check the battery first.

    this could be a fuel problem too -if the fuel filter is getting plugged up, or the pump is getting weak, or the check valve in the pump is bad, or even if the fuel pressure regulator has gone bad. In any instance, I'd recommend replacing the fuel filter.

    You can rent a fuel pressure tester from most parts stores, and you can google "fuel pressure test" to figure out the proper procedure, and exactly what you're watching for.
