Consumer Description

The battery completely drains after not being started for 2-3 days. I’ve had the battery checked by autozone and it was found to be in good standing. This issue has happened twice in the last two months. Also, on occasion when driving an icy road message pops up from the eyesight, however it’s a clear sunny day. Although this hasn’t engaged any other safety features, it’s concerning that at any time it could initiate an eyesight safety feature to engage which could pose a safety issue for occupants.
