Your battery may have enough power to run the car but not start it. It probably has a bad battery. There is the possibility that the battery is not getting charged when you drive it. Have the battery checked, most auto parts stores can test it and tell you the condition. If you or a friend has a battery charger, put a full charge on the battery and see if it will start the car.
