My car is draining the battery when it is turned off. It has been at the dealership for going on 5 weeks now with the problem still existing. The battery will stay charged for around 24 hours, however, by day 2 it is drained and the car won't start.
At first they told me it was a bad battery so they put in a new battery, went to start the car after paying for the battery - dead won't start nor release the key. So that was the first attempt of fixing the problem. About 2 weeks later I get a phone call telling me they think they need to reprogram the car since not one thing is draining the battery, it's a lot of little things. I asked if this will be a fix and not a bandage until it happened again. They told me it would take about 24 hours to reprogram the car. I never heard back until day 3 after I agreed to this reprogramming. When I called it didn't work according to the service tech - same issue is still happening. So now they told me they have a GM engineer on the case to try to fix the problem.
4/25/15 will be week 5 of not having my car, yes, I am in a loaner however, I can't transport my dogs to dog shows or training class in the loaner. As well, I am paying on a loan for a car I do not have at the moment.
