| Description of the problem | Battery has died at least 6 times since april 2019. Took to dealer twice and they said "cargo light was left on and drained the battery", another time "rear cargo door probably was ajar", they also said "perhaps it is not being driven enough" and "when the car is turned off the system is always looking for wifi signal so that might drain the battery too". I stopped taking it to dealer and recharged it on my own. Dealer said they'd replace the battery but could only do it with the same size as the original. |
