Consumer Description

MY 2011 GMC ACADIA SUDDENLY DRAINED THE BATTERY, I TRIED TO START IT AND DIDN'T WORK, THE BATTERY WAS DEAD, SO I REPLACED THE BATTERY WITH A NEW ONE, THE NEXT DAY THE NEW BATTERY WAS DRAINED LIKE THE OLD ONE, SO I TOOK THE BATTERY BACK TO AUTOZONE, THEY CHECKED THE BATTERY AND WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, THEY ALSO CHECKED THE VEHICLE FOR ANY POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND THE DIAGNOSTIC DIDN'T SHOW ANY PROBLEMS, SO THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AGAIN WITH A NEW ONE,... SO I HAD THE NEW BATTERY INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE AND WENT HOME, THE NEXT MORNING WHEN I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE THE BATTERY WAS DEAD, I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND FORUMS TALKING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM, I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FOR MY WIFE AND SHE GOT VERY DISSAPOINTED FOR HAVING THIS ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE, IT'S THE FIRST TIME THAT WE PURCHASED A GMC, WE HAD ALWAYS BOUGHT FORD VEHICLES, I CALLED GMC AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY REPORTS WITH THIS TYPE OF PROBLEMS BUT THERE IS A LOT OF COMMENTS ON INTERNET FROM PEOPLE SUFFERING THE SAME SITUATION, .....I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, AND CAN'T KEEP CHANGING THE BATTERY EVERYDAY TO BE ABLE TO USE MY VEHICLE.
