My FFE went into the shop on 9-30-13 to repair a problem with value charging and inability to charge at all. I am told by the dealer that the main computer was replaced, but, that did not correct the problem and now they are waiting for a wiring harness that apparently hasn't been built yet...

My battery has died twice sitting in the garage waiting for it's HOV stickers. Apparently when the car Li-ion battery is fully charged, it stops charging the 12 volt accessory battery, so the battery goes dead. The only other way to charge the battery is to turn on the on-off switch. So, I...
