In the end "dima" did not get his battery replaced but there are many references to battery problems from other posters. at least one poster did get his replaced. You might need to try another dealer if possible.
Whatever happens, I'd replace the battery. A battery that won't hold a charge for 4 days is a dud. Good Luck AR  |
Thanks for the research!
I did try the dealer an hour away, and they refused to provide a new battery as well. They insisted that I drive the 60-odd miles to their dealership so they could "run some tests" on the battery, knowing full well that the battery would be charged when I got there, and they could tell me the same thing the dealership here did! When I called them on it, they admitted that my trip there would be a waste of my time, so I didn't bother.
Anyway, the car's running pretty well now, so we'll see what happens over the next few weeks or so, and if it happens again, I think I'll have even more ammunition.
