Starter Problems of Hyundai Tucson

The car would not start when I went to start it up. It was parked outside overnight in 20 degree weather and just clicked when I went to start it. I had to call Hyundai roadside assistance to come and jump the car. They did and it took them a couple of tries and they had to use their vehicle, not the portable starter. They said that the battery was drained. There was no reason for that because there were no lights left on. I took it in for service and they checked the battery and said it was it happened again on February 3, 2013 and I had to do the same thing. I had the dealership check the battery and it was fine. On March 15, 2013, the dealership checked the battery and it registered a strong charge. The dealership wanted me to leave the car there overnight to duplicate the conditions of the car not starting up, but were not willing to let me use a free loaner. As the temperature warmed up, it was not an issue. However, today I went to start my car and leave for work, the vehicle did not start up. It just clicked, the radio worked, lights worked, but the engine would not turn over. I am taking the vehicle to the dealership later today and they will let me use a loaner for free. I hope that they are able to diagnose and fix the problem as I need my vehicle for transportation.

Have had vehicle into dealer many times over the years complaining of no start issue. Once vehicle is jumped it is fine for awhile. Battery, starter and alternator always seem to test good and no codes are found. I had to go buy a portable jumper unit to carry as this happens at least once a week and if it sits more than a few days, it will not start and is dead. Dealer states they cannot find the cause. Bought new in 2005 and has happened over 35 times since new.
