Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The car dies very quickly. We bought the vehicle brand new, and it only took about a year before the car started dying for no reason. We replaced the battery, but the car would still drain the battery overnight. We took to our mechanic and he cannot find what is drawing the energy. Now, if we leave the doors open for more than 10 minutes the car will die. It is completely unreliable at this point, and i have had to purchase a travel "jumper" kit in order to not get stranded. It seems very random how it will die. It can just be sitting in the garage overnight (from 5 pm to 8 am), with nothing running, no doors open, no lights on, but will be fully drained.
