Battery mysteriously died, and had to get jumped while on a road trip. The battery was never able to recharge itself and the car was running off of the alternator. The car had to be jumped to start every single time on the way home (about 8 times). Dealership replaced the battery and the problem has gone away for now.

You buy a brand new car for your daughter so she has a safe reliable vehicle. Her battery went dead on her way to class and car would not start. In fact the battery was DEAD and not rechargeable. She had a friend help her get a new one and that died as well after a few days. Wife drove 2.5 hours to the college and had to wait for roadside assistance as we were not going to purchase another battery. Dealer down near the college said that cables were not put on right, they charged the battery and off they went. A week later, battery DEAD. I had to purchase a portable battery charge so my daughter would be safe. We are now taking the car up to the dealer near our home since she is on spring break. Daughter deals with high amounts of anxiety and this does not help.

Battery died after waiting in the car approximately 20 minutes, even with the car being turned on - and it ran intermittently for 2 - 3 minutes due to cold weather and history of battery dying a year or so before.
