| Description of the problem | The car frequently does not start when following conditions occur: 1) few days of non-use, 2) after several short drives, and, 3) hatch is kept open for 2-3 hours. The issue was first noticed 8 months after the start of the lease. Since then, it has occurred more frequently. The car needs to be jump started suggesting the battery is drained. I have mentioned this issue to the dealer numerous times and few months back the dealer replaced the battery under warranty. The issue has started again. |
