I've taken this thing back to the dealership 4 times already for the same
problem. After it rains, I try to start the car and it turns over but it
cuts off right away. I try pumping the gas and it still wont start and I
even tried to jump start it but that doesn't work either. The dealership
is really giving me the run around with this problem, diagnosing it as
something different eveytime I go there.

Does anyone have any clue what is going on?

Just out of curiosity what has been done to finally get it started after
these rain induced no-starts?
