Consumer Description

As stated in a previous complaint vehicle has what one professional mechanic diagnosed as an "electrical fathom draw" which drains the battery. The issue with the vehicle started on July 1st which the timing seems ironic since it was the first day of the month. I have taken the vehicle to several qualified mechanics who could not diagnose what was draining the battery. Purchased a new battery and still having the same issue. Each time I had roadside assistance jumpstart the battery they stated it was not the altenator or the starter. No codes to perform a diagnostic like "check engine" light or other warning signs.
