| Description of the problem | Experienced repeated dead battery after not using the car for a week. First i thought i was leaving lights on or a door open, so i would call roadside assistance to get a jump, but the problem started getting worse. On the third year of ownership, after one or two days of not using the car, the battery was completely dead. Getting late to work and meetings just became unsustainable. The car is always garage kept. I always make sure to turn off everything. I previously owned a toyota corolla from 1998 and for the 12 years of ownership only experienced a dead battery once. |
