Needed 3 jumps in the first week of ownership. Car was a December 2015 build and sat around until I purchased it in March 2017. Dealer replaced battery. Again, car sat around for over a year before I purchased it. On the first warm day, I had no A/C. Dealer repaired a relay and recharged the system.
