  1. Dead battery here as well on Friday. And when I say dead...I mean completely lifeless. The tow-truck tried to jump-it for over 45 minutes and it didn't work. My wife spent the entire day trying to get the car towed to the dealer and then trying to get a free rental car out of the dealer. I will say that we were lucky. Had it been one day later, the battery would've stranded us (My wife and myself) in the Sierras (ski trip) for who knows how long. She got the car back today with no explanation of the issue from the dealer. They, at first, tried to blame us for it. Saying that it was our fault because we had a usb wire plugged into the console (nothing attached to the wire, mind you!). When we pushed them, they admitted several had come in recently with dead batteries, that it was indeed a design flaw. They didn't fix anything, just recharged the battery. It ended up taking the dealer over a day to charge the 12v....amazing. Luckily, in CA, there is a lemon law that allows us to get most of our money back if this occurs 3x. Unforunately, we can't trust the car anymore and have to always have a back-up plan for when this happens again, because I'm certain it will. I'm looking forward to getting rid of this lemon.
