I had an issue with the battery cable at one point that this sounds like. It cost around $2000 to fix (I only payed $1000 in the end because when my car went in I got reimbursed for a separate recall i payed $1000 out of pocket for). I wonder if i can get my money back... that would be an awesome present.
