Over two weekends in a row in December, my car failed to start after sitting idle for no more 3 days. I took it in to two different dealers (one for each event) and they couldn't find the problem. Each dealer questioned if I had put it in reverse as instructed, and since I've had the car almost 2.5 years, I told both of them clearly I know the procedure to follow.

Car was shut down as per instructions...with gear in reverse and hand brake on. After only 6 days of inactivity the car was completely dead. I had to gain entry via the emergency hatch access. Battery showed zero volts.

Dead battery syndrome. After setting for a few days the battery on this car drains to a point of not being able to start the car. There is a very detailed shut down sequence for this 6 speed manual transmission car that seems to be the culprit. However, I have had the car to the local dealership 3 times and they have yet to be able to find the problem. I have been stranded 5 times in 10 months because of this problem.
