Phx Mike, have you been taking lessons from Danr? Can't tell you how many things he he has gotten people all cranked up for and then bailed out at the last minute. Fortunately, he's now retired, for the second time and so far, he hasn't been able break his current FE.
Hope your problem is only the starter. Yours would not be the first new car to have ugly problems.
