Description of the problem | In 3 days my car had died 6 times. First time i thought maybe i had left something on and drained the battery. I had someone at work jump me, and i went on my way. The following 5 times, i had to repeatedly push the start button while trying to push down on the break. Eventually the car starts but all of my electronics go crazy. I took it to the dealership today, drove 20 miles to get there, turned the car off, when they tried to move it, it wouldn't start. I showed them how you have to keep pushing the button while everything electrical goes crazy. Dealership blaming the battery, but what is causing the battery to drain so fast? My concern is that all the electronics go crazy and it decides to die whenever it wants. Hope i am not driving with my two small children!!!! Based on what i am reading online, i am not the only person having this issue! |
