Car has extended cranking issue - it acts like the starter is bad or the battery is dying. Took it to the dealer and told them that the car has a hard time starting. It has died a couple times so I replaced the battery with an interstate battery and they told me that the battery was bad. I had the battery checked and it is definitely not bad. Asked the dealer to check the starter and they said it is fine. It seems that the car has some other issue with power being drawn from somewhere else.
