bad battery...again...

So I got off work and vanpooled to my meet spot. G lookin fly. I get in, start her up, roll a couple inches, and hear grinding. Get out to see a flat front right tire (after fixing a flat on the rear 2 days ago). FML. Get out, replaced the tire after 2 tries (didnt match the peg first time), stuffed stock tire in the back while dirtying my khakis, thought id be on my way, and my car doesnt start...currently waiting for AAA...

Had my battery replaced several months ago and I think its under warranty...just wanted to share and get thoughts/opinions...

Get a red top and don't worry about it again.

I wonder if that would really solve the problem, or just prolong yet another dead battery. Bah, I'm so lazy to search the old battery threads haha.

This is actually making me think about switching cars...hope this passes...still love my G...I think...argh...

I have had a red top for two years ...no battery issues, even after sitting for two weeks while on vacation.

It was an 84 month battery before (didnt check if it was the M battery they put in last time). I'm at the dealer right now getting my VCV replaced, ECU reprogrammed, and a new battery. Guess time will tell...my warranty expires in November too...

I had a red top for 2 years, then it quit. Recharged it, and it wouldn't hold a charge for 24 hours. Replaced it with a die hard gold... lasted 3 months. Put in an interstate and the car started right up after sitting 2 months, been 6 months now.
