No, not the cat- the MDX.
My wife drove into the garage at 1:30 in the afternoon. At 5:30 it wouldn't start. Click, click, click.. (mind you, not the "failure to start" which has been posted before, but failure to even turn over.)
Jumped it- started right up.
Drove of 1.5 hours, started fine. Parked all night - dead the next day.
My wife jumped it, started up. Took it to the dealer.
Battery needed replacement.
Per the service advisor, "it's not that unusual- lots of time new cars sit on the lot for quite a while".
Well, I wasn't there- my wife was, but I just marvel at the explanation. Keeping in mind that MDX has been backorderd forever, and that I got one of the first on Oct 6. Now I suppose they might have been stockpiling MDX batteries up in Canada for a few years...
Anyway, I'd not seen any posts on dead batteries which needed replacement...
