My 2020 Elantra GT has a parasitic battery drain.

Asked by shadowlogan Apr 23, 2020 at 11:56 PM about the 2020 Hyundai Elantra

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Bought the car new 12/19. Battery has died about 8 times.  Today I got the third new battery from the dealer and 7 hours later it is dead again.  Mileage is 2200.  They say they can't find anything.  I think it is time to pursue the lemon law for recompense

Thank you - I have documented all and will present it to the dealer tomorrow after I have it jumped yet again.

Thank you, GA. Since the dealer had my car for 10 days supposedly testing everything I was suspicious when they said they were replacing the battery again because they had a bad batch of batteries and that's why the previous one (which they replaced) failed. I will discuss the quick draw down as you mentioned.

GA: I just spoke with the dealer and they told me it may be because I DO NOT lock the car when it is in my garage. Does that make sense? I've never been told nor have I read that you HAVE to lock your car in order for it to function.
