Description of the problem | Car won't crank and won't start. Ended up stranded numerous times within the last 2 months while out shopping. Each time stranded, the car would start after being jumped by another vehicle each time. After the first account of being stranded and jumped by another vehicle, i immediately drove to the dealership and was told by the dealership that my car battery was testing "very good" and they said my battery would recharge itself and that the drainage could be due to the hot texas weather. Not so much the case as i ended up stranded two days after that, once again. Then, a week or so later, on another account of being stranded and jumped started by another vehicle, i drove to autozone to have them test my battery to find that it then too tested "very good." autozone suggested that i purchase a portable car charger, so i did. Came to find out that upon being stranded the fourth time, the portable charger was unable to get me jumped/started. So, i had to call roadside assistance. Roadside assistance tried using "their" portable car charger but failed to work. So the rep pulled out his jumper cables and was able to jump my car after about 5 minutes. At that point, i went back to autozone and decided to purchase a new car battery even though my existing battery tested "very good" once again. Immediately following the battery replacement, my srs airbag light became illuminated and has been on since then. It's been 3 weeks since i've had the new batter installed and i'm now stranded again. I've seen way tooo many posts with other folks experiencing this same issue. Please investigate!!!!! |
