starter?
I have a 95 max. Recently started to act up when starting after a short time being turned off. Replaced starter about a year ago, this would be my second time this has happened to me, first time I starter covered under warranty. Is it the starter going bad again or something else making the starter go bad?

Gotta be a lil more descriptive. Does the car start then die? Or does the car jus keep cranking for a longer period of time? Any codes?

Yes, it is entirely possible that the starter has gone bad. If its under lifetime warranty, then def jus try to replace it.

Unlikely something else making the starter go bad. Make sure you battery and connections are clean and secure.

mine did that when i bought it and the guy i bought it from thought it was the ignition switch but it was actually the terminals on the battery not being set properly. make sure they are on the battry nice and tight. if not then go to advance and have them test the starter. if it passes then its probably the ground

check your battery, electrical stuff inside of the car working doesn't always mean that the battery it's good. when you turn the key, do you hear a click noise, the car cranking or nothing at all?
