Description of the problem | I have had this vehicle since 2013. Since then, i have replaced 3 batteries as the shop's advice that my intermittent no-start must be caused by the battery. It has been to two delaerships as well as a private shop. No one can diagnose why my car will be operating fine and then intermittently go to start my car and nothing. Alternator and starter also have been checked and stated are fine. I have seen numerous complaints in searching about my car, issues with intermittent battery issues, i am not leaving anything plugged in, making sure lights all go off. Car will start fine, will go to a store or something. Come back out and dead. I can't even leave my doors open for 10 minutes say if i am cleaning it out without it going dead. I have never had a vehicle that has had this kind of issue, if i ever did have a battery issue with other vehicles it was because something got left on. This is ridiculous that no one can determine why this over years has consistently been intermittently an issue. It hasn't thankfully happened when driving, it is literally more just left me stranded until help comes to jump start it. It works for a while, then like in this recent case, twice, in one week's time, have had no problem starting it, making either a long trip or short trip, and go to start to go on to next destination and no start. |
