Consumer Description

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE 12 VOLT BATTERY HAS DIED WHILE THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR 24 HOURS OR MORE. THE FUSION ENERGI TITANIUM WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 10 DAYS AND THE DEALER FINALLY REPLACED THE BATTERY AFTER RUNNING EXTENSIVE TESTS. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR IS TOTALLY DISABLED AND HAS TO BE JUMPED. THIS ISSUE TENDS TO HAPPEN WHEN IT IS VERY HOT OUTSIDE OR THE CAR IS SITTING IN THE SUN. THE HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY FANS WILL RUN WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AND WHEN YOU POWER OFF THE CAR. *TR
