  1. It's well worth checking the battery a low or almost flat battery causes this issue, sometimes people fit them with a slightly smaller battery so even if your battery displays a green charged light it's under preforming. I had the same issue it took me 10 minutes to fix it, new battery, I live in Sunny QLD so cranking amps aren't a massive concern, if you live in the cold or leave your car out during the colder months spent the extra 70 bucks on the battery meant for cold weather and that's the correct size, either problem can cause the issue, especially if the car has been sitting for a while, it's a common issue with them all of that era 07-08 around there. Best of luck to you all, a bit of leg work and some wrench time means we all end up with better running cars and save a lot of cash, I signed up because I read some bloke spent a fortune looking for issues and for his sake in a way I hope it's not just a battery, start small and inexpensive then work your way forward is how I work towards the problems that pop up for time to time. I also noticed a lot of people call friends or the local mechanic and jump on forums, it's a smart move, but never hurts to call an auto electrician either, I did for a GM 6.0l saved me hundreds, I lost the left bank on my 6.0l V8 he told me to check a wire on the back of the head and sure enough that was the issue, the mechanic wanted to replace the ECU coil packs etc I am glad I didn't listen and decided to call a few places, cost me 2 hours of time and some tape.
