problem #2

First occurrence: June 21, 2010--battery dead, key stuck in ignition. Charged battery overnight. Drove to dealership on June 22, 2010. Dealership stated "battery failed load test, replaced battery." Second occurrence: August 11, 2010--battery dead, key stuck in ignition, unable to place in neutral. Charged battery overnight (unsuccessful). Towed to dealership on August 12, 2010. Dealership stated "trouble shoot starter and charged system. Battery failed test, replaced battery." I was told by dealership advisor that it was just a bad battery. (this is the second time to just be a bad battery.) advisor said they ran a parasitic test on the battery to make sure nothing was drawing too much from the battery. That test came back normal.

I bought a new 2009 Outlook in August 2009 three times since buying the car, the battery has gone completely dead. The dealer has checked the car thoroughly and found no problems. They say that GM has put out a bulletin for an "intermittent parasitic draw", but no solution has been found to date. They are sympathetic to my problem, but can not do anything until GM finds the solution.
