I've never heard of a car battery going dead in a 2 year old car with low mileage!! Have been driving it on a daily basis, and we live in a cool climate -- New England. Have not had any other problems with the car. Suddenly on Saturday afternoon the car wouldn't start after it sat for about 30 minutes. Battery completely dead the next morning when we had it towed to the same dealer we bought it from less than 3 months ago with about 30K miles on it. Dealership says it is not covered under any warranty. You would think they stand behind the cars they sell for good customer service. It is aggravating and hard to understand how & why this happened.
