Go to an auto parts store, they usually check you battery and charging system for free. Mine sits for a few days and starts right up. Also check and see if the battery connections are clean and tight.

My 2021 was towed to the dealership for the second time in two months because it was dead. First time, they said battery and replaced. This time it's been in the shop for 5 days and I was told they are still troubleshooting. Error message I received was that something external was draining the battery the evening prior to it not starting. Dealership won't give me a loaner because they say they don't know if it's covered under warranty. Only has 3200 miles, unbelievable. There's no way we should have to start a car every day at the cost of these. Please keep us posted as to how they resolve.

Have had same issues with battery and immobilizer notifications! It dies while driving and can only use brakes. Happened when I drove off lot 06/05/20 five times! Had it towed to dealer took them forever to figure out the problem. It was so called fixed and it died on me twice today while driving. I’m reporting it to the manufacturer and believe I have a lemon based on Iowa Lemon Laws. It’s not safe. I have two young kids in car seats. Sorry you all have had issues with this #1 consumer reports recommended SUV! Be safe!!
