Electrical issues?

Stosh Rickles

I think most people here will tell you anything taken to the dealer for electrical work was actually around the steering lock issue - which is a legitimate issue, and is covered in several places on the forum, including easy fixes.

However, I have had two batteries die on me, one of them within 3 months, and I've only had the car for a year. So either I magically turned into an ignorant car owner who leaves dome lights on all the time, or something's up with the early builds.

Oh also, early cars could've gone in for the audible tone emanating from the ECU, which is also documented here as a notably difficult thing to get fixed under warranty.
