I figure it was the trading dealer fault, just like the grille.
I wasn't happy, but being a GM employee, I know how they work.
my dealer is 55 miles away, and needed to go back the next day since GM gave us an extra $500 off and some more Ambassador money.
The new battery saved me $700, so can't complain tooooooo much.

Re: Bad Battery
I agree, but until the manufacturers start shipping vehicles with dry cells or at least very expensive batteries, this is something we will all live with. And just think, the 42 volt system is on the horizon.

Re: Bad Battery
about 15,000 mine went dead. Took it out charged it for two full daily cycles. Let it sit a couple days dead again. Piece o junk. Will get a new one for a spare next time I goto the dealership.

Re: Bad Battery
My battery died after 6 months and less than 7k miles. Definitly some bad ones out there.
