| Description of the problem | When i tried to start my car the battery was dead. This happened twice last year and i then replaced the battery. This new battery is only 4 months old and yesterday it was dead again. Each time a few days had passed since the car had last been driven. It seems there must be something wrong with the car that is draining the battery. In addition, possibly related to the dead battery there were a couple of times when we found the back hatch wide open. The battery was not dead after this happened. |
