NHTSA Complaint #11486025 — 2022 NISSAN SENTRA

Case of "parasitic draw" on the battery? (I see that NHTSA issued NTB21-053B.) Car was purchased new from Nissan dealership in Springfield, Virginia, March 3, 2022. On Tuesday, Sept. 13, roughly 5:00 p.m., I parked in my driveway as usual. The vehicle had approximately 8,980 miles. I did not move the car all day Wednesday, Sept. 14. On Thursday, Sept. 15, around 11:00 a.m., when I attempted to open the car door, the battery was COMPLETELY drained. I had to use the physical key to open the door. I know for certain that the lights, including the dome light, were not on. Doors and trunk lid firmly shut and locked. (The only thing I can imagine is that I had a cell phone charger plugged into the cigarette lighter port, but the cell phone was in my possession.) I called AAA, a technician tested the battery, and it was completely dead. (See photo 1.) He jumped the battery and it started. I drove to the Nissan dealer where I purchased the vehicle, and they said they put the car on a charger for more than an hour, and reported the battery tested okay. (See photo 2.) But incident was very disconcerting.
