Consumer Description

THE CAR HAD ONLY 6817 MILES ON IT WHEN WE BOUGHT IT ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO. THE CAR RAN FINE WHEN IT WAS DELIVERED, BUT TODAY, AFTER FINALLY REGISTERING AND RECEIVING THE NY PLATES (DELAYED BY COVID-19), WE TRIED TO START IT AND NOTHING HAPPENED. CHECKING THE BATTERY WITH MY VOLTMETER INDICATED ONLY 4 VOLTS REMAINING. THIS IS AFTER JUST SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY FOR THE PAST THREE WEEKS NOT USING THE CAR AT ALL. EITHER THE BATTERY IS FAULTY OR SOMETHING IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS SLOWLY DRAINING THE BATTERY.
