Battery Failure on my 2016
Battery Failure on my 2016
Sometime back I wrote that I was having problems with corrosion on the positve terminal of the car battery on my 2016 Platinum with 36K on the clock.
As someone correctly pointed out, that is a red flag to replace the battery, but I instead cleaned the terminal and forgot about it. That is till today, when at 39K the battery failed! I should have listened to the Forum advice instead of having to take a half day off to get it replaced under duress. Lesson learned! It's a good idea to check yours too.

Yes the factory batteries seem underwhelming at best. 1st battery I have replaced in just 37 months from new.
Went with the factory dealer replacement battery. I just extended the 36 month lease to 39 and this happens @ 37 months. Just hoping the 2019s will finally show up at dealers soon.
