VEHICLE BATTERY WAS BEING DRAWN DEAD INEXPLICABLY. FOUR SERVICE VISITS TO DEALER REVEALED NOTHING OTHER THAN A SILLY STORY FROM IT THAT THE CAR WAS NOT BEING DRIVEN LONG ENOUGH FOR THE BATTERY TO RECHARGE.

DEALER HAD ME USING A "TRICKLE CHARGE" PLUGGING INTO AN OUTDOOR ELECTRIC OUTLET EACH NIGHT WHICH ONLY DELAYED THE INEVITABLE DEAD BATTERY. I ATTEMPTED TO LEMON LAW UNSUCCESSFULLY UNDER NYS LAW...

Owner report 11715268 · 2026-02-03 (February 3, 2026)
The metal gas tank shroud (cover) on the bottom of the car is completed rotted away and there is no longer anything protecting the gas tank from rupture. This was brought to my attention by an automotive service center as well as my own visual inspection. My understanding this shroud not only protects the tank but also helps support it to the car.
