On my way!

Post by mydamnvolvo »

Hey guys!
On Sunday I bought a 2013 Honda Pilot for my trip which I left for just a moment ago. I was sitting in my 960 and my husband was in the Pilot. I wanted him to follow me so I'm waiting with the car on and he doesn't back out to let me out. I go up to the car, push him aside (I was already stressed about my car let alone this new one.) I tried to start it and... nothing! Dead battery. This is going to be war. They claimed to replace the battery with one from another car, but after picking up the car on Monday, and driving it 25 miles, dead. I left the ignition on for about an hour over the few days to set things up, I'll admit, but after working with cars my entire life, I know if that was a new battery, than it shouldn't of died so easily. Not only this, but the car's range when I picked it up, was 50 miles to empty. I'm sitting on the side of the Southern State Parkway waiting for my husband to get here so I can get going again. See you soon! Hugs, kisses, blessings.
