Description of the problem | Brand new 2018 atlas battery problem - battery drains completely in less than 3 days when car is switched off and parked in attached garage. Happened twice in two months. Service responded by saying there are several computers that drain battery even when car is shutdown. Suggested to drive for 30 mins every 2 days. The battery drained the second time inspite of following these instructions. Complete battery drain in less than 3 days even with car completely switched off in garage is unacceptable. |
