We bought our DTS-III Performance in January 2006 and it has performed beautifully until Monday. It was completely dead. We could not pop the trunk and nothing would work. I put a "digital" charger on the car and it said the battery was "open." Then I put an older "dumb" charger on it and it took a charge so I brought it to the dealer where they told me they couldn't find anything wrong. We even had a "check engine" light on but they said there were no codes stored in the computer. When I got home with it I looked at the car with my laptop computer and it said there had been 20 minutes and one "warmup cycle" since the last codes were Cleared so the dealer was pulling my leg when he said there were no codes.  This car now has about 14,000 miles on it. It had been sitting in the garage for only one day. Sometimes it sits for 3 or 4 days and we've never had this problem before. The dealer said there was another DTS in at the same time with the same complaint. They said "drive it for a few more days and maybe it will happen again--then call roadside assistance" Wow--is that lousy service or what?

Replying to: conked (Oct 24, 2007 7:49 am) I recently bought a used 2006 dts and the same thing happened to me. Car dead, battery and all else fine. There is an onstar update that fixed mine. I guess when onstar is trying to communicate with my car it takes power. For some reason onstar wasn't turning off and the battery was draining. Onstar knew of the fix and downloaded some type of software fix into my car and all has been fine ever since. Hope this helps. If not feel free to write me. chefcct  aol.com

Replying to: conked (Oct 25, 2007 8:45 am) I wonder if you might have left a door open enough that the interior lights stayed on? Or, perhaps the car did not shut itself down and ran the battery down. At this point the thing to do is keep on driving it as you normally would. I would check to see if the battery is run down early enough in the day so that there is time to get help if needed. I did that for a while after the SRX's battery was dead, but now I don't worry anymore.
