6 Battery Dead problem

Failure Date: 05/14/2004

It started when I bought the car in 2003. A week after I had it. It would not start and the battery was not dead I then call the dealer and after about a hour I got it started and took it straight to them. They told me that they had to clean the cables and thats what it was. But after a week it did it again every time I got in it. It would not start but after a while it would start. So I took it back and they then said it was the ignition switch so they replaced it they said. So about a month went by and everything was fine then it started again. So I took it to another dealer for a radiator flush because it keeped on getting hot which it still does and I did not tell them about it not starting because it only does it every now and again, but when they went to start it, it would not start so they put it on the computer thing and they said it was in the ignition again so we told them about what happened before and they said they have alot of trouble with these cars all the time. So we paid $320. 00 to get it fixed but it acts like it is going to do it again. I just have this feeling the way its acting. It takes to long to turn over and when it does it grinds like I am over starting it. The thing is I love my car but I have not even had it a year yet. I just think that if I have to pay alot of money for a vehicle it needs to be right.
