Battery goes dead for no apparent reason. Sometimes a message will appear that the car is in power saving mode (electrically) to save the battery, but not always. After charging the battery, the vehicle may run fine for 2-3 weeks then go dead. I have noticed the turn signals do not always have an audible sound when working, and I have noticed a clicking noise from the fuse / circuit box without any thing being done to the vehicle, and when it will not start. The current episode is the second in 3 weeks, the third in 6mos. The first episode, the battery was replaced. I do not believe this a battery issue. Other than this, the car performs fine.
