My car won't hold a charge. I buy a new battery and the car says battery saver mode activated. The battery will be dead by morning or if I take it down the road the voltage will start dropping before I get home. When I say down the road I mean less then a 2 miles. After I turn my car off it won't start because the battery voltage will be to low. I've had the battery and alternator check both are fine. Checked to see if their might be lights left on, but nope not even the truck light. So I'm at my end with the car, it's a $30,000 car that I can't even drive. That's a lot of money for a yard ornament.
