Dead Battery, Car won't Start

So I went on a business trip for 5 days last month, came back on the weekend and tried to start the car...the starter tried to turn the engine but there's just isn't enough juice left in the battery. I jumped-started her and everything was fine.

Now I went on another business trip for 4 days last week and the same damn thing happened again. I'm not sure if it's just the battery or if there's a short somewhere. The car is 100% bone stock and I did double check that everything was turned off before I lock the doors. Have you guys experienced any of this? It's weird considering on my sister's Navigator, she could leave that thing in her garage for a month without any problems.

Very odd your battery dies in 4-5 days.. Your battery might be defective.

My G35 Coupe battery didn't die on me in 3 years, with stereo equiptment, radar detector. I left it sitting for a good two weeks right before I sold it, still started with no problems..

Ya, get is checked out at the dealer. Just be aware that you might need to leave your car there for a week to recreate what happened. It sounds like a bad battery to me. Even if you did leave something on, I believe the system shuts it down after 30minutes.

Thats a common problem with the new G's ...there are a batch of defective batteries. Do a search on this site and youll see all the posts..No troubleshooting needed just get a new one.
