Vehicle had a dead battery roughly 6 months ago. Dealer replaced battery under warranty, but did no other diagnostics on the vehicle. If the vehicle is not driven every day, the battery drains down, and now the battery will not charge at all. Now my vehicle is out of warranty coverage, and the dealer will not diagnose the charging system problem. This vehicle is completely unreliable, and the charging system failure is just one of my many complaints about this vehicle.
