My battery went dead after less than 2 weeks of being in the garage.
Also, when I tried jumping it, I quickly found out that I had to leave it connected much longer than I ever did with any of my other cars for it to turn over. On top of that, a 45 min drive after it started did NOT put enough power back into it to start the next time I turned it on.
I thought that there was no way that my battery was fine, but after taking the advice of several people on this forum, I purchased a battery maintainer/ charger from my local autozone, charged the car over night (it turned itself off when through). Then in the morning, it cranked right up and I have had no problems ever since.
I hope your fix is as easy and inexpensive as mine was. Good luck.
