Description of the problem | The battery died when the car was six months old while in a store parking lot. They said it was a bad fuel cell and replaced it with the same battery. 8 months later the battery died again in the snow with two young children in the car. We were unable to jump it. The battery dying is now a know issue and they will replace it with a different battery. But they are not recalling it yet even though it is a common problem. My friends atlas died at a stop light due to the auto shut off feature. It is incredibly unsafe. |
