Exclamation Occasional Sluggish Start, 2007 TL

Hello,

I've experienced this probably a total of 5 times since I bought the car in August.

Sometimes, when I start the car, it doesn't sound normal. It usually starts very quickly and sounds good. But it happened today again, for about the 5th time - the car slugglishly starts and sounds like it is struggling to start the engine. It still starts up fine and drives normally afterward though.

Could someone tell me what this might be? The battery drain problem from the HFL?

Thanks.

check the oil levels and color of the fluid.
also, in order to rule out the HFL, scroll through your MID and see what the message says....if you get a "booting up", chances are your HFL is toast

Check the engine oil level you are talking about right?

And it only says booting up if I select it from the menu. Does this still mean it is shot? When I try to use the voice commands, all it responds with is "please repeat" so I cant even connect my phone

Ok when I check on the screen it says 70% oil life. But I'll check the level myself. Thanks.
