  • 2,100 miles
Message "battery in safe mode" comes on at about 11 to 15 mph. This is a two month old car with only 2100 miles. When I spoke to the dealership the person stated that it would come on at start up. It didn't. when I said there were several cases reported on the forums, such as the 300C forum, reporting bad batteries he laughed and said that wasn't the case. This was during a phone conversation when the person hadn't even seen the vehicle. It was also before I could say anything about the numerous posts about the alternator/regulator going bad and killing the battery.
