thinking about it, i drove every day since i got it, except for yesterday. today i go to turn it on and nothing. i jump it and it starts.

when i replaced the battery, it still had the factory OEM battery so i guess no ones ever changed it in all 6 years. it was serviced a lot so you'd think someone would have thought to do a battery check...

Umm, ya you need a new battery.
No one is going to replace a bad battery just to sell.

Be happy it's not your alternator.

How does a battery survive for 6 years? That's good quality

Battery checks dont always work. I took a battery in to Napa because my husbands car would not start. Their tester said it was good (I knew the freaking car wouldnt start). Brought home a new battery, installed it and the car was fine. I have no faith in their testers.
