Battery drain happens and vehicle Will be hard to start or not start at all. New battery was installed and 4 months later, same issue.

Replaced original battery of just over two years and the new battery was drained within six months. Have seen where there are class action lawsuits for years 2019-2021, but nothing on the 2022 vehicle.
