I have a 2009 2LT V6 6speed. build date of october 08, purchased new in october 09. the car currently has 24k miles on it.

the car had a dead battery 3 times in November, dealership replaced battery under warrenty in December. This past week, the wife drove the car home monday just after 8 AM from work pulled it into the garage and left it till this evening (friday 6pm) and it is completely dead, IE unable to pop trunk to get to the jumper cables. the car frequently sits for 3 to 5 days in a row, as she works weekend nights at a hospital. this is starting to get alittle old, does anyone have any tips or advise? this car is more of a PITA than the '92 ford aerostar with over 200k she got rid of.

Hey Tom,

Did the onstar module fix your issue? I'm having the exact problem with my 09 LT2. It goes in the shop Monday and they need all the help they can get. On my 4th battery now. I can leave my 07 Trailblazer for 2 weeks with no issues. 3 days with this POS and it's dead!
Let me know if it worked for you.

Thanks.

Update! Took the car in and mentioned the Onstar drain issue. After the tech diagnosed it the first 4 times as a bad battery they finally got it. In testing the onstar module they found it had a high drain. They re-programmed it and the new drain level was acceptable, however in the process the driver side power window motor stopped working and they had to replace it. Man this car is going to cost me when the warranty runs out.....I thought this car and GM had changed but I guess not !
