What owners wrote
Went to start car first thing in the morning for work and it was completely dead. Had to jump start. Took to dealer. They kept overnight and ran tests but could not find anything wrong. Second occurrence on 1/25 - same thing - completely dead - this time it was mid afternoon after sitting all day at work. Had to jump start again. Taking to dealer in the morning. There appears to be no apparent reason it just doesn't recognize it has power and nothing works.
