Consumer Description

OK, TO SUMMARIZE I AM ON MY 3RD BATTERY AND I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW MANY JUMP STARTS IN 1.5 YEARS. SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS 09 I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO KEEP MY KEYS IN THE IGNITION IN ORDER TO LISTEN TO MUSIC WHILE THE CAR ISN'T RUNNING. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS LESS THAN A MINUTE THE BATTERY WILL TOTALLY DRAIN AND REQUIRE A JUMP OR REPLACEMENT. I HAVE GOTTEN EVERY BATTERY TESTED AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE BATTERIES ARE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. BUT FOR SOME REASON IF I TRY TO USE THE BATTERY, THE BATTERY DIES EITHER REQUIRING A JUMP START OR LIKE MY LAST TWO INCIDENTS A BRAND NEW BATTERY. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BECAUSE THIS SURELY SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. *TR
