No offense taken, but it's been documented by several that those exact warning lights were the result of a faulty battery. A car does all sorts of strange things when the cpu receives a brown out or loses a ground. The fact that there are known issues with a run of 2017 batteries then it's not a huge leap to suggest that's the culprit. It's not an excuse but a logical deduction.
Exactly. It's crummy there hasn't been a recall on them as it's a common culprit to MANY issues. Would be a cheap thing for them to be proactive about and solve lots of interweb grief.
There is not a known issue with a run of 2017 batteries, it is a rumor. I’ve not seen any substantive proof of such a thing, anyway, but did find a story attributing the claim of a bad battery batch to some service tech in Oz.
Batteries have failed, but there is no proof it is a battery manufacturing defect. In fact, for a car with known electronics issues— the TSBs are there to support that assertion— it seems just as, if not more, likely that there are onboard issues causing battery failures rather than battery construction itself.
We’ll see down the road if recent battery replacements in situations where there is no additional servicing or updating to electrical components or software prove to be durable fixes or recurring problems.
