Consumer Description

OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS, I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED THREE TIMES IN THIS CAR. EACH TIME I HAVE ASKED FOR AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY A YEAR OLD BATTERY WOULD GO BAD. THE EXPLANATION LAST WEEK WAS "A SHORT IN THE BATTERY, NOT CAUSED BY THE CAR." SINCE THE FIRST 2 TIMES IT WAS REPLACED BY THE WARRANTY, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND THIS ISSUE. THIS TIME THE BATTERY WAS NOT COVERED. EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, IT HAS BEEN WITHOUT WARNING, NO LIGHTS FLASHING, NOTHING. JUST GO TO START THE CAR AND NOTHING. I HAVE BEEN LEFT STRANDED EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. CLEARLY, EITHER THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE BATTERIES BEING INSTALLED, OR THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR. EITHER WAY, IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE COMPANY. AS IT IS, I HAD TO SHELL OUT $150 LAST WEEK. *JB
