long ignition times in cold weather
I have a new AT less than 5k miles. 2014 model
in cold temperature, the ignition can take double the time (1 full second vs 1/2 a second). it always starts on the first time though. is anyone else experiencing this issue and is this something to worry about? |

Could be the gas. Winter gas has more benzene or something that ignites at lower temperatures to ensure easy starting in winter, but lower gas mileage. It could be that your gas station hasn't switched over to the winter blend yet.
