| Description of the problem | I was away for 17 days and my battery died. Went to dealer and he said this is normal. How is this normal? It's dangerous and should not happen! Car is 18 months old! This is dangerous too. Last year we were gone 2 months and wife's car started right up. Neighbors winter in florida - come home and cars start up. My last car sat 3 months and started right up. This needs to be fixed! We travel and car sits at the airport / train. What happens when we come back and it's dead and it's late / snow / ice / bad area. Worse - i could not get into the rear hatch (dealer said nope - can't - no bypass) to get my jumper cables! And car was in a garage (50+ degrees). Garage also made it hard to jump as was pulled in forward! This is all scary and must be fixed but dealer says normal. He said some die in a couple / few days and it's normal. This is normal? After jumping it i had to reset so much / dash was lit up - radio didn't work. 17 days is nothing for a car to sit and dealer said it may have died the first week. Then what - no alarm - nothing. I looked online and many have this issue. For all i know my honda battery died day 2 or 3 as many online say theirs dies after sitting just a few days. |
