First day car wouldn't start AAA came and started it, the car ran for a while. The next day the car wouldn't start correctly and many warning lights appeared on the console before it stopped, AAA came again, this time the car wouldn't take a charge I called the dealership and it was towed to the dealership.The dealer kept the car overnight ran some checks and reported the battery performance test failed. The battery was replaced and tested and the car was working correctly. I am not certain but it the problem was probably an initial problem with the battery.
