The original battery died after a few months of purchase under 1,000 miles.
The second and better battery died a year later.
A third, even higher capacity battery, then died the next year.
There is obviously a parasitic drain on the battery and the car cannot be left undriven for more than a few days.
Some dealerships admit the problem but will not address the issue which is probably a faulty DCM Unit which is low on stock and costs over a $1,000 to replace. Will try to pull the fuse.
