Car frequently struggles to start, and has required jump start several times despite being driven almost every day. Battery and alternator tested good the first time it happened.
Most recent incident was the car completely dying while at a stoplight with the engine auto-shut off engaged for less than 30 seconds, after driving 30 minutes. Required jump start, and have been jump started the previous morning.
I tried pulling the DCM fuse to see if it was a parasitic battery drain but did not help. Going to the dealership next week to get diagnostics. Had the car less than 3 months after purchasing certified pre-owned.
