| Description of the problem | Battery died after driving 10 miles and parking for an hour. Couldn't move shift lever or release electronic parking brake. Someone finally jumped the car for me y and i immediately bought a new battery (battery $151. 19 and jumper cables 26. 99 at pepboys, dbpower jumpstarter 74. 59 at amazon). 3 months later the same thing happened after being in the garage overnight. No lights were left on or any obvious source of electrical drain. I could have been stranded somewhere. |
