Every time I start the car

[03vertPA]

I posted this before but now it is getting worse. Every time I start the car it resets the computer and it seams like the battery is just about dead. Last time I had it up the Dealer (dkje#%@&**) they said they had it on the computer and nothing was wrong with it.

Any ideas?:??: :shrug:

Make sure both battery cables are tight.

Maybe a bad battery? These OEM batteries are not the strongest I've ever seen.
A load test may expose a weak cell or diminished capacity (of the battery) reserves.
I will venture a guess that the computer is being reset because the battery voltage drops so low while starting the engine, it thinks the cable was pulled off, and follows the procedure designated for that situation.
The charging system is apparently functioning sufficiently to restore the level of charge required to start the car between uses.

Take it back to the dealer and leave it so they can have the same wonderful experience you are having.
