Went to start car today and the battery was dead. Had to jump start two days ago. No problem yesterday. Dead again today. Taking to dealer tomorrow while still under warranty.

Two days ago I went to start car and battery was dead. Jump started fine and took to auto parts store for an electrical diagnostic. All systems passed. Next day, car started fine all day. Today, another dead battery. Jumped fine once again. Something is randomly draining the battery. Taking to dealer tomorrow

Third time in 4 days that the battery drained overnight after driving the car the day prior for at least 30 minutes. Taking to dealership today, after having to jump start again. I went out to the car and put the key in and turned to the accessory position, it seemed a bunch of system powered up. I captured on video the battery level at approximately 12 and watched it drop to about 9 over a period of one minute. The warning system eventually gave me a low battery warning and it stated I should start my car, but too late. Had to jump it.

Update from Jan 31, 2017: Took vehicle to dealership. They fully charged the battery and then ran diagnostics and they said it was a bad battery so they replaced the battery under warranty. I had an autoparts store run a diagnostics on the electrical system 3 days prior to this and they revealed a good battery and alternator. I suspect that the problem isn't fully resolved but haven't had an incident since replacing the battery.
