Problems

Question type: Maintenance & Repair
A week ago I came out to a dead battery. Jump started it
and things started acting funny. The gas guage read 0
miles to empty when I had 130miles left. The lights for the
buttons on the steering wheel don’t light up, the PRNDL
lights don’t work or the button for lights and the dim
switch. The USB port in the center console doesn’t work
either. The fog lights used to not work but they came on
later that day.
The next morning the car was completely dead again. We
replaced the battery. Started fine. Everything still didn’t
work. The fuel guage was reset when I filled the tank up
with gas. I did the relearning process as suggested in the
manual and various other methods but to no avail. Does
anybody know anything?

nice ts.....but....if that was common there would be dead cars all over the place.
Ok so my car has no power or anything I’ve done a tuneup on it,but a new battery and now it is running funny!! My mechanic thinks it could be the alternator but i wanna know what you think? He also said trans and engine are perfect so that’s what doesn’t make sense

I came out to my battery completely dead Saturday morning so I jumped it and drove it around for about half an hour. I stopped at Walmart for 10-20 minutes and it didn’t turn on the first time I turned the key but it did the second but my battery gauge on my dash was showing the battery was still super low even though it said it was great before I went in the store. I went to get my battery tested and they said it came up bad battery. So I bought a new one. After driving around again for about 45 minutes it was showing the battery as 3/4 full. I didn’t drive Sunday but I got into my car to go to work this morning and the battery is showing below half. It takes 15 minutes to get to work and now it’s showing 2/3 full. Idk what is going on and it’s freaking me out
