Hi,

There are possibilities regarding battery become dead and can't be charge anymore.

The first one would be the battery has a life expectancy of 1.5 years to 2 years.

The battery if less than a year and died, that will be a manufacturers fault, where the battery might have some defects when it was manufactured.

The battery died less than a year can be attributed to overcharging of electricity from your alternator.

Your lucky your battery lasted for 3 years!

Hope that clears up your problem!

Thanks for using Fixya!

it could mean any number of things including that it's time to change your oil, or it could be something more serious. with it being a 2007 i would have to say take it in and have a diagnostic done on it at a jiffy lube or another ASE certified mechanic.

All dashes have bezels that cover up the screws and bolts, most of these are held in by clips, they just pop out. Be careful though, around the thin area, ie radio, a/c controls, they can break take your time. There are two screws above the instrument panel , that have to come out. also if you have the bezel that extends all the way across the dash, you will have a screw on each end to remove. Again be careful. You will have to tilt the steering wheel down as far as possible and if you have the shifter on the colimn, you will have to put it in first gear. Some of these bezels act like they wont come out, but they will. just bend them alittle. Look at what you have. take your time. Once you get the bezel off, then you can get to the component that your going after.

use any major brand 10W-30W in hot climates or use 5W-30W in mild climates, use no heavier weight oils

When you try to start does the motor spin but wont start or is there no noise at all, if its no noise at all then i would start by checking the starter and if it spins but wont start then try holding gas pedal down and cranking the motor with a dead battery it may have lost memory and will need to run awhile to relearn idle at start up and other readings you may need to hold gas pedal to keep running for a few minutes,start with this first.

Same size tank? Same type of driving? Sounds like a wrong fuel injector burning off too much.

Preferably in the range of 55-70 amp/hr should be quite adequate. it is important to have the same size with a maintenance free type.

Check the fuse box in your car for the radio fuse. check to see if its blown replace it with the same value.

Most likely you've got a timed lock programed into your menu parameters. You will have to go to your main vehicle instrumental menu and clear that option. This may have been inadvertantly done by one of the other operators of the vehicle.

they a just a bit stuck due to corrosion. hit with plastic malet or wood and hammer

Your starter is bad. you may have to replace it. if the motor "wants" to turn over the starter is recieving power. but it is probably bad.

Why my Check Engine/Service/Check Engines Soon light comes on?
The engine computer or PCM/ECM
All modern vehicles have a computer or the ECM (Electronic Control Module) that controls the operation of the vehicle powertrain (the engine and transmission). The main purpose of this is to keep the engine running at top efficiency with the lowest possible emissions. With constantly growing demands for better fuel economy and new strictest emission regulations it's not very easy to achieve. The engine parameters need to be constantly and precisely adjusted according to various conditions such as speed, load, engine temperature, gasoline quality, ambient air temperature, road conditions, etc. That's why today's cars have much more electronics than in early days - there is a large number of various sensors and other electronic devices that help the vehicle computer or ECM to precisely control the engine and transmission operation and monitor emissions.
The vehicle computer system has self-testing capability. When the computer senses that there is a problem with some of the components it stores the correspondent trouble code(s) in its memory and lights up the "Check Engine" or "Service Engine Soon" light to tell you that there is a problem and your car needs to be looked at. To properly diagnose what is wrong, you need to take your car to a mechanic or a dealer. The technician at the dealership or a garage will then hook up the scanner to the car computer and retrieve the stored trouble code(s). Then he (she) will look it up in the service manual provided by a car manufacturer. The service manual contains the list of possible codes (about few hundreds) and describes what each code means and what needs to be tested. The code itself doesn't tell exactly what component is defective - it only indicates where to look, what engine parameter is out of normal range. The technician will have to perform further testing to pinpoint a defective part. THIS IS UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL 70,000 MILES OR 7 YEARS.
