RECENTLY WE BOUGHT A 2008 CHRYSLER 300. A FEW MONTHS AFTER WE GOT IT, IT WOULD NOT START. WE BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND A FEW WEEKS AFTER THAT, IT WOULDN'T START. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. NOW, SOMETIMES IT WILL START AND SOMETIMES IT WONT. THERE IS NO CLICKING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT JUST SILENCE WHEN IT WON'T START. THE HORN WORKS THE LIGHTS WORK AND THE DING THAT LETS YOU KNOW THE DOOR IS OPEN. IT CAN SET FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THEN START RIGHT UP AND A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, NOTHING. I COULDN'T FIND A RECALL ON MY SPECIFIC CAR BUT I KNOW THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. CAN YOU HELP?
