2001 Infiniti I30 - When I turn the key, you will hear a click but not start the engine until I press and sometimes pump the brake, after a few times the car will start. I have taken the car to the dealership and they swear they could not recreate the issue. They replaced one of the relay boxes but this did not solve the issue. There were not any error codes received when they tried diagnostic. The starter was replaced by a different dealership about a year and a half ago. Any ideas?

Hey espresstd2! I suspect you could be having starter troubles again. If possible, next time the car wont start, while you turn the key, have someone lightly tap on the starter, and see if the car will turn over.
