Latest example was tonight. Wife starts the car. She is in the store 30 minutes. Comes out and the battery is dead. Fires up with jump cables. Third time this week. It makes a whine noise in the alternator area. Nothing comes up on the info center. Battery is not stock replaced it 4 years ago. Any suggestions? Thanks.

joeltonya,

I agree with "stealthee", have the alternator tested, as a start. Please keep us posted.

If you need additional assistance, please feel free to contact me privately.

Whine noise in the alternator area is probably low power steering fluid. The reservoir is under the alternator and you'll need a long skinny funnel to fill it. I'd say you probably have a bum battery. Should have dates on it, though.
 
Well everyone thank you for your help. Had the battery tested and it was bad. Replaced the battery.
