Car is 3 days old -> Battery DEAD!!
I have a 2011 G37x Coupe which I picked up new on Thursday night. Great car so far!! Fast forward 3 days, I was having trouble opening both doors with the remote so I opened the drivers with a key and pressed the start button, but the car didn't do anything. No light, no radio, no nothing. Figured it is the battery so I called the 24hr road assistance, jump started, nope, NO GOOD!! WTF!!
The car is brand new. I believe it has less than 50 miles total. Since the dealer is re-opening on Tue bc the 4th of July, I am pretty much stuck here with no car.
I searched here and found there were problems with 2008 batteries. Am I having the same problem? I mean.. seriously.. my car is only 3 days old.

Just go get a new battery from autozone and take the dead battery back to the dealer on Tuesday and throw it back in their face and say " I want my money and I want it now"

2nd time? WOW! How long did they take it to put a new one? Did you get a loaner car or had to wait there?

Dealer may have left the intelligent key sitting in the car on the lot for months leaving the sensor on draining the batt. Happens to all cars with these sensors including Mercedes n bmw

LOL, no. I would have asked the dealer initally to replace the battery with a new one before I bought it considered he had to jump it to get it going on the test drive.
I'd go into the dealer on Tuesday, tell them the problem and get them to either (A) tow your car to the dealership and install the battery or (B) have a tech drive out to your house and install the new one. Either way you shouldn't have to pay for anything. Be polite but firm and remind them that the battery had to be jumped on your test drive.
