You're probably still under bumper to bumper if it's a 2010 so just call the dealer and tell them what's up. They should have it towed and fix it under warranty.

just changed mine at 32k miles and about 2 years 10 months in car. BUT, I was having major problems with my navigation system and having it worked on so I'm SURE that contributed to the battery dyeing.

August 13, 2012) try to get something in the z and unlock using key fob but the car doesn't work. Try many ways but nothing happen. Then have to use the attached key to unlock the z. When I open the door. The dome lights doesn't turn on the try to start the car (brake+power on button) doesn't work too. Then insert my key fob under the steering wheels then tried to turn on again doesn't work too. Kinda worries if the car problem or just a battery. To make it shorter. There's nothing work. Even any lights or whatever. The car now totally dead. Had the car for about 2.5 years. And dd for about 1.5 years and weekends only for about 1 year. Could anyone here can tell what I need to do and what I should do? Do the dealer cover the battery or something? Pls help. Thanks in advance!

This is the start button

This is the one that insert the key fob.

For some reason. When I reattached the battery after get it tested and charged even 88% when they tested it. Then this lights come on 24/7. Kinda weird. I think need to tow it to dealer. Any idea out there guys??

first thing the dealer gonna do is put in a new battery.

Huan'z · 08-14-2012, 11:55 PM

I step hard on the brake and the brake lights come on. But still can't start the car. Or the whole interior lights doesn't come on. Ummmm... This is crazy. Tom is my birthday but have to be at dealer. Damn it. Is not a birthday. But a bad day!!!

Towed to the dealer. The dealer will pay for it if your car below 3 years old. Since my car just 2 years old.

Got the problem. The dealer called and said the problem was "body control module" consider a brain of the car? Thats wht i heard from him... and that's also the main caused of "steering lock"

They will replace it and it's under warranty. Order it by today and over night ship. My car should be ready by Tom. Yay!!

Jeez, I should'a known. In hindsight it is obvious

Huan'z · 08-17-2012, 07:26 PM

My battery still works at 36k/3.5 yrs.

Footloose301 · 10-31-2012, 07:42 PM

Think I should buy one this weekend. I used to DD my Z but I moved a year ago and only use it on the weekends. Starting it up tonight it barely wanted to turn over, so it seems to not want to hold a charge.

Stock battery.
41k.
2 years and 1 month so far.

I'll probably get the red top Optima.

3years 5months 18,800 miles still cranking.(I got it used 16months ago with 10k miles on it I imagine its the original battery) It's my DD but I don't go far. Take the highway to and from work just to open it once a week.
