2007 Acura Tl

MY BATTERY FAILED FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND REQUIRED A JUMP IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO START. I TOOK IT TO AN ACURA DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DETERMINED THAT THE HANDSFREE LINK SYSTEM WAS ELECTRICALLY FAULTY AND WAS STAYING ON CONTINUOUSLY, WHETHER THE CAR WAS RUNNING OR NOT. HENCE, THERE WAS A CONSTANT DRAW ON THE BATTERY. TO (HOPEFULLY) RESOLVE THE PROBLEM, I HAD THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE THE BATTERY AND THE HANDSFREE LINK SYSTEM. *TR

2007 ACURA TL BATTERY SOMETIMES DRAINS COMPLETELY IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT USED FOR 2 OR MORE DAYS (NOTHING LEFT ON). SOME ELECTRONICS MUST NOT BE SHUTTING DOWN AND CONTINUE DRAINING THE BATTERY. DEALER CLAIMS IT'S NORMAL THAT IF YOU GO ON A TRIP YOUR CAR MIGHT NOT START IF IT HASN'T BEEN USED IN A FEW DAYS WHICH IS PREPOSTEROUS. AFRAID TO LEAVE CAR AT AIRPORT WHEN TRAVELING. I'VE HAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN TWICE IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY; LAST TIME THEY COULD FIND NOTHING DRAWING POWER. WEB SEARCH REVEALS LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. DEALER ADMITTED THEY'RE REPLACING LOTS OF BATTERIES - BUT THAT DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
