I got the car out of storage the other day. The battery was dead, not real surprising but I thought it was odd that it was completely dead, not enough juice for the interior lights or trunk release. Also, about a month ago I checked the car and all was good. I didn't start it but the previous mentioned items worked great.
So, I charged the battery and drove it the whopping 8 miles home. 2 days later it is dead. Understandable, but completely dead?
I hook it up to a v8 truck. Wont start. Rev the truck for awhile. Still wont start. Eff it, I now hate this car. Take the batter to autozone, after 45 mins it tests bad.
Battery history of the car :
Oct 07 - buy the car with a brand new bmw battery
march 08 - battery dies and is tested bad. Buy new bmw battery
July 08 - battery dies. Determined its the hvac issue. Battery ok
sept 08 - battery dies. Determined bad. Replace wth an old optima redtop.
May 10 - optima almost explodes on the side of the hwy in Ohio. Savior friends of timmay77 bring me a brand new oreillys lead acid battery
and that brings us to today.
I really don't know what do do. Brand new batteries, old batteries, cheap batteries, expensive batteries, they all die in this car.
I think im done putting batteries in it. I was violently angry this morning. Im still fairly certain this car is the biggest piece of garbage ever made.
Sorry guys. Pretty sure im done.
