thanks for all suggestions "old" mechanic looked at car today, and thinks it is a loose ground wire from battery to engine block will take back to dealer tomorrow and ask them to evaluate

will check ground connection to body of car when daughter returns tomorrow, if loose that could explain all eh?

They actually suggested that too. We'll see when it happens again.

Well, multiple people including two guys from AAA/towing verified they were tight. That was the first thing everyone checked. Car is 3 months old. Started at dealership without ANY manipulation on their part as soon as it came off flatbed. Wierd

Daughter's new car won't start, no lights no electrical activity at all. She calls AAA who try to jump, no help. Battery checks normal. Tow truck guy tries, no help. Delivered by flat bed to dealership.....starts fine on the first try. They tell daughter "no problems and please come and pick up!" Any ideas what they missed? Thanks in advance
