Description of the problem	Since i purchased the car in june, 2012, there have been three (3) incidents where there was a gradual loss of battery charge, the vehicle would not start, and the illumination of the malfunction indicator light comes on. The most recent incident was this past saturday, on november 16, 2013. My car is also equipped with e-assist. I do not know if there is a problem with the generator control module, or similar device. Each time a certified buick repair service claim they cannot find anything wrong with the vehicle. Thanks god i have always been in a safe place when this has occurred, and so far there has been no fire in the trunk of my car, which i understand might occur. Thanks for all of your assistance in regards to this urgent matter. Updated 12/16/13
