18000 mi	Battery was dead. Dealer diagnosed and replaced battery
43000 mi US $145	The dealer had previously replaced the original dead battery with a VERY small 330CCA capacity battery. When the temperature here in NJ dipped to -10F, 330CCA wasn't enough to get even a MINI engine cranking. Advance Auto Parts offered a 770CCA in a slightly larger battery that fit with no changes. Perfect result.
