Default My xA! My potential headache???

today after work on my way home for lunch, i got to my recently washed xa, get in and turn the key. the car cranks...and cranks... and cranks... and cranks and finally starts with an idle sped of about 300 or so rpm then shoots up to 2000 rpm. as you all can prolly tell, it has a hard starting problem, however its not very often (thank godness). it does this about once every 2 months or so usually right around 1/2 tank of gas or so. does this happen to any other xa periodically? maybe not the same way, but sometimes do u guys' xa take a while to start? i have no mods done, and it only has 9500 miles on it and its 8 months old. if i take it in to toyota, this will make the 5th time ive had it in the shop for warranty work.

Yor car may qualify as a lemon. Check here http://www.carlemon.com/lemon/CO_law.html to see. They may buy your car back!

Look at the bright side, you get to choose a new one! What would you do different?
