I've seen a lot of people having problems with their batteries. My car had to be jumped for the second time today. The first time I drove it one day and then the next day my car wouldn't start and roadside assistance had to come out to jump it. The second time was today and here is where my question is, does it make sense that playing the radio for literally five minutes in accessory mode should cause the car to have to be jumped after just being driven? Luckily I was at the dealership, waiting in line listening to my radio with the car in accessory mode, when I went to start my car all my warning lights for ABS and brakes came on and the car would turn over but not start, then everything went dead. If this happened twice shouldn't the dealership have a checked my battery and considered a replacement already? They just told me don't play the radio at all with the car not running and didn't even consider replacement. My car is already in the process of a possible buy back for a whole list of reasons but does that sound normal for dealership behavior as well as for the car to drain the battery that quickly?
