Description of the problem	The battery died with less than 30k miles on it. After jump starting and driving the car to recharge the battery, it wouldn't hold a charge. After jumping, the car had multiple features that would not work -- windows would not open, hatch would not open. I had a new battery installed on 4/17/20 (mileage 29,554) and they reset the windows & hatch to function properly. In june, the battery was dead again, and i had to get it serviced again to have the windows & hatch reset (mileage 29,971). Finally, on 8/30, the battery was completely dead, despite showing no indication of low charge or reliability for some time. I could hear a clicking in the hatch that makes me think there is some trigger there draining the battery.
