Description of the problem | I have had repeated problems with my battery dying. It started slowly, at the beginning of the pandemic, i didn't drive for a couple of weeks. When the service guy came out to jump it, he said that i should can drive it at least once a week. I've been doing that and i'd only occasionally had to jump it. Now with 10 months of ownership and under 6,000 miles, i have to jump it every day. When i took it in, dealership said battery and alternator were fine. If battery is fine, must be electrical. Either way, very unhappy with this defect in my new car. |
