| Description of the problem | I was driving in the rain on 1/16/19 with my son, all of a sudden my car starts beeping and my dash board says stop driving now and check your charger system and after one hour it completely died, had to get towed home, now the dealer says the problem was the high voltage relay and connector that goes to the high voltage battery on the car that caused the battery to fail and charger system. Now i'm told i need to buy a new battery and i feel this should be covered b the warranty since this issued caused my battery to drain. |
