ok.. I'm at work.. I drove car for two hours straight and parked. At dinner time, I turned on my car and guess what? It cranks two times and it turns on.. I'm here thinking.. uh... wtf? why is it having so hard time to crank?.. so I turn it off.. and turn it on again to hear the sound.. and now.. it try to crank and won't.. After thinking, I borrowed the jump cable and jumped the car.. now it turns on without a problem.. How long do I have to running the car to recharge the battery? and what might cause the problem to drain the battery? I didn't turn on anything on the car.. and I believe this is brand new battery..

 

you believe, or you know? Did you check the battery?

 

Either weak battery or dying starter. Take it to Autozone and they can test both for you.

 

Has your battery ever been changed or is it original? It may be time for a new one.

 

I just bought the car. They are new I think, or at least almost new. I just jumped the car and it starts and run. I have the engine code on but I have no clue. It's battery for sure. Look like it's charging. Let see how it works tomorrow morning.

 

it look like it's alternator problem.. it's not charging the battery.. how much do they charge? does it cover under the warranty?

 

If you have a 2003, it's been out of [factory] warranty for a while. Do you have an extended warranty? Does it cover the electrical system (a lot only cover mechanical problems)?

 

I have extended warranty... does it cover?

 

You probably just left something on. One dead battery isn't anything to be concerned about. It's when the battery will only sit for 2-3 days that you need to be concerned.

It isn't typical of a car to start up, drive fine for two hours, and then not start up. Are you positive you didn't leave the headlights on?

 

this problem is going to take you awhile to fix. they usually fix about five things before they find the problem. good luck and try not to get too frustrated.

 

It depends, there are different companies that offer them and there are different levels of coverage.
