I normally don't have any problems getting my car to start but here recently after I have driven the car for more than 10-20 miles and shut it off, it will not start. Now, after it sits for a while and cools down it starts right up with no problem. I do have a loose connection on the left battery post and the end cannot be tightened down anymore. Could that be my problem and I need to just replace the battery ends? Or is it a more complex problem? Please help!

You need to have the battery terminals resolved first but problem do not seem to be caused by this. Either you replace the battery terminals or alternatively you can use a lead strip to wrap around the battery post to enlarge it.

When engine could not be started, you need to find out what is missing.
