What You NEED to Know for Dealing with a Dead Car Battery: Alfa Owner Experience
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июн 2019
- Here's a brief video detailing the exact issue I experienced on my 2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia one evening when I was returning from vacation on Memorial Day weekend. The battery on the vehicle died for no apparent reason, and after having the car jump started by road side assistance, the vehicle engine stop/start wouldn't function for three days. After three days, the whole vehicle drove like normal as if nothing happened. I'm not sure what made the battery on the vehicle die within a 48 hour period, as I didn't have any lights on and nothing was plugged-in inside the car. Let me know in the section below if this has happened to you with your Alfa, Fiat, or Maserati and what the root cause was. I hope you enjoy the video!
Just happened to my Giulia last weekend. Started the car and the dash lit up like a Christmas tree. Every possible warning appeared - start/stop unavailable, no indicators, no reverse lights, no parking sensors, no front collision warning, no climate control, no fuel gauge etc. Let the car rest for an hour and all errors except stop/start cleared. Taken the car to the dealership since and they diagnosed a bad battery. Just had it replaced and picking the car up today. Apparently not uncommon. Good luck with yours...
My Giulia is a 2019.10 model, same problem.
@@lord7739 it’s not a problem, it is normal. To fix the “problem” It is enough to fire the engine, turn the steering wheel all the way right, move the car, then all the way left, move the car and then back to the straight position. Switch off the car, wait 5 seconds and switch on the car again.
@@carldock5223how do you move the wheel if car doesn't start
I've heard that the Radio On/Off button can stick down sometimes and drain the battery if it gets stuck at on
Bro this just happened to me rn and my friend found your video bruh I swear you just saved my life
I hear that if the battery charge percentage drops below 70%, the auto start/stop feature becomes disabled to save some battery life.
Right then you would know I guess or at least it would be a good indicator to check on the battery.
One more thing, make sure to check for any rust on the battery terminals in the trunk, if there is corrosion it might prevent the battery from charging correctly and in turn drains the battery faster then usual, cheers.
I just replaced the battery 3 months ago and ran into this exact same issue yesterday. Even after jumping the car, all the lights still come on and the key fob doesn’t work unless I place it in the center armrest compartment. Will have the battery checked today.
Bro This video just save my life......
Happened to me only four days after I picked up a 2018 Giulia. Battery was dead and micro relay issue. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO TURN OFF THE AUTO START STOP AT LIGHTS. A Button off
Very helpful guys as mine is sitting on the drive at this moment completely dead after an identical experience. Start stop disappears, then multiple, more and more warning lights and then it won’t start at all, kicks back the brake when you try to start it, then it won’t turn off warning lights at all and finally dies. At least I think I know what the fix is going to be. Thanks a lot!
Happend to my wife last week, when she was just off for a long ride. Our dealer got the car in an charged the batteri. Said all was ok. Happend again next day, and She ordered a service at a dealer where She was heading 500 km away from home. She was afraid of going to the toilet on the trip, stopping the car U know 🤪 The workshop there tok a "stresstest" and comfirmed the batteriet was broken . They put in a new one on warrany, and we were happy since that 👍 Good luck with yours lovely Guilia. Best regards Odd Atle, Norway
I went on a holiday for a week , after I came back car started but it was cranking really slow, I did about 10 miles and came back home . I tried to start it again later same day but there was no response after I’ve pressed start stop button , I bought a new battery but car wasn’t starting right away , I had to wait at least 15 seconds with pedal pressed, to start the car . This morning car wont start at all , the dash lights up, but no response when I press start button
Same thing just happened to my Guilia really cold Atlanta day temperature was 34 in the morning and dropped during the day to 24 degrees.
Died battery now my start and stop is still on my dash.
This video was very helpful
I had my first battery go flat in my 2015 Giulietta QV. I had a workshop deliver and fit the new battery, when I took it for a drive it had some fail lights stay on, however when I started it the next day they had all reset, apparently this is common. Also, it turned out that the connection to the battery positive wasn't fully secured because on the 2nd day after the battery was replaced, the car did not accelerate from traffic lights, it was doing all sorts of weird things and would barely move...thank goodness I had a spanner to fully tighten the terminal...so if the terminal isn't fully tightened and it moves a little when driving, you will have all the different warnings come up and systems shut down...
Happened to my Giulia 2.0 of January 2017 too. Battery is not the problem but somehow the battery is not charged fully or there is a drain current. Or a combination of those 2. It happens after a long trip (strange enough) without using brakes often when the battey looses capacity till 40%. Or 1x completely was empty after staying a certain time. Probably the IBS sensor gives a wrong charged value of the battery according to road service man. The IBS says battery is full whilst it is charged only circa 40%. He disconnected the IBS sensor from battery. Now with diconnection it functoins much better. But still sometimes the signal in display appears with 'check engine' and 'start stop defect '. Have to find out with Alfa-Romeo in Italy what it is. Because Alfa dealers connotatie solve this problem yet. By the way: many Toyota's (Prius, Corolla) have start problems because of flat battery. Also German and other modern cars have problems with the IBS sensor. A pits because the Giulia's are further very reliable.
I have very similar problem with my 2018 Giulia Veloce, just wondering if you managed to resolve the issue? Thanks
It happened to my 2018 Stelvio. AAA jump-started my car. Check engine light was own. But everything seems normal again after 10 miles of driving, except the lighting and audio buttons on the steering wheel stop working. Probably a short circuit.
Thanks for your video. Mine just died today. Over a year ago it died, would not jump. Dealer replaced battery no charge. Mine was due to software update.
Thanks for posting this - same exact thing happened to my Stelvio with 7k miles on it. Engine light, start stop, and sound system still disabled 12 hours later; other lights (Power steering, ECS, Collision Avoidance etc went off after I was able to run the car and restart it). Took 7 attempts to jump the car before it worked. headlights were doing a strobe effect when it wasn't working. Also the DNA modes still aren't working. Going to go in for a diagnostic and battery swap this week at the dealer...
Hi did u resolve the problem because i have the same problem with my 2019 Stelvio with 1k mile and the dale doesnt know what to do
@@damarysbarreto3757 Happened to my 2021 Stelvio Ti Sport.......had BCAA jump start the battery and now works......poor battery.....strange in view that I've only had the car for one year with 14,700 Kms....there are still several lights on the dash - ESC, the coffee cup icon, as well as the anti crash icon and red steering wheel icon....very weird...
Two weeks ago on my Giulia and then again today on our Stelvio . Dealer says it’s just the battery drained as if my car sit for a long time which mines was sitting for a week but my wife car she just drove it yesterday and this hallend
Had the same problem with my Stelvio. Still dont know what caused it. Everything happened exactly the same as in this video.
What was the temperature that day? The cold weather can drain the battery to dead, I’ve had that issues with my 2017 Camry, 2010 Nissan Sentra in the last winter when the temp dropped below 20 deg F
The temperature dropped from 70 deg F during the day to about 54 deg F when I found that the battery was dead. So it wasn’t too cold. Maybe that was enough of a temperature drop to cause the battery to die though.
I own a 2018 Giulia Q4 Ti, driven for 6k miles and haven’t had a battery issue. I have an 800w Rms amp and 10 inch sub installed. Post an update if you find out what the issue was.
I have 2017 Veloce (which is Q4 Ti in USA)
I had a problem with start stop system unavailable warning several times during the year. Dealer said it is a battery problem so in December they replace the battery. Two weeks ago I experience the same " Christmas tree" problem you had. I call my road assistance. They started the car, diagnose all failures, reset it and it looks like all good.
The guy from road assistance said that the battery got 3 volt so it was dead.. I told him that it is brand new. He checked the alternator and said that is giving not enough power to battery and that by dealer it needs to be replaced or reprogrammed.
I didn't have time last week to go to the dealer and yesterday I got start stop unavailable again.
I noticed that this failure appear always after I want to turn high beams while auto lights are on.
This week I will go to dealer so I am curious what they will do.
Any update?
@@rwdplz1 the problem was in the head light. They replace it and problem was solved.
There was a defect on the parabolic mirror in the head light unit. The diagnosis never showed this issue. I didn't notice that there is any problem. But the mechanic discovered that by accident when his colleague flashed the high beam. Left beam was slightly slower. Sometimes happened that the mirror didn't get back to default position and that drained the battery.
Just happened to me today... knob is not working.... road side assistance tried to jump start just flickers....just got my car 5 months ago...brand new...
Same thing happen to me this morning. Waiting to see what Roadside assistance will do later today
Luis Martinez what did they say?
albert santos im waiting to hear from them. What was your solution for yours? Did it end up getting fixed ?
Luis Martinez hi they said the battery was drained... now i am dealing with new problem the towing campany damaged my rim ... i thing got scratched from the curb when they transported it .
albert santos nice glad to hear you got taken care of
Have you had any issues with the alarm going off for no apparent reason? Mine would go off in heavy rain or strong winds. This would drain the battery. It is a known problem that your dealer can fix in a hour or so. I’ve had no electrical issues since it was fixed.
I’ve had the alarm go off twice so far, but I think it was because my phone pressed against the panic button on the key in my pocket. When the keys have just been sitting on my counter or desk, the alarm has never gone off
This has happened 2 times to my 2018 Stelvio -thx for mentioning it.
Just happened to me today!!
Need a class action suite started for ALL these Alfas, mine included.
My 2019 stelvio did the same thing but after I kept seeing many error messages, windshield fluid, service engine, service esc, service power steering, start stop unavailable etc...
This just happened to my '19 Giulia yesterday... The service center is also closed on the weekends:'(
Hey! This happened to me today and I got the battery jump started. After turning it on several times and driving it for 30 minutes, the side windows still do not open. Did yours eventually open?
@@Dwade32 My windows were fine actually; once it got jump started, everything worked fine. I suggest you schedule an appointment with the dealership or simply wait a few days. Meanwhile, check out Alfa Romeo Owners Club of North America on Facebook.
@@albtz Everything else works fine and there arent any error messages. The side mirrors simply do not move.
@@Dwade32 it’s probably just a bad circuit. I had a non functional rear camera that fixed itself after a restart 😅
@@albtz Just my luck. My lease is over in a month
Just happened to me this morning. 2018 Giulia. have put 10,000 miles on it with no battery problems until today. daily driver. jumped it with no trouble but have no idea why it drained overnight. only had 7 volts when we attached battery jumper to it. start/stop function is not activating yet. battery drain is apparently a way too common problem. going to check all terminal connections and then cross fingers.
I'm having this issue now thanks for the video
Same thing happened to me. Car was completely dead. AAA came jumped car w terminals under hood. Drove to mechanic who replaced battery after testing old one and was dead. So far so good.
My son and I have matching Guilias. He tells people that it's the car you love to hate!
First I appreciate that you posted the video of your experience. Did you have the dealer do a diagnostic on the electrical system? I am considering purchasing a used 2017 Giulia Q4. This and Forbes Magazine poor recommendation of the Alfa (See Rons Rides on You Tube} give me a little pause.
I had a Guilia for 2 1/2 years, less than 12,000 miles and my battery just died over night. Don't know why and what a time waster to get it boosted and towed to the dealer to a new battery. After watching this video it seems there is an issue that's too common. I"m not a happy camper right now as this is a time waster for me, I need a reliable car every day. These cars are still too finicky, their history is rearing it's ugly head where people had nothing but problems back in the 70's Soo disappointed.
The distance b/w the negative and the positive terminals is pretty significant. Most portable jump starters dont even come with cables that long. Terrible design choice by Alfa.
Do you use your Bluetooth??
How did you get the hood opened without being able to get into the car ?
Key fob has a physical copy
Can you even pop the hood with a dead battery??
You would have to open the drivers door with the physical key located in the key fob. Luckily the hood pops open regularly.
Just happened to me today
My alpha Romeo battery completely drains itself regularly. It's not the battery as I've had more than one battery and current battery I've not had in the car for weeks due to Corona virus. I took the battery out after I last charged it which I have to do regularly.
What I'm unsure about now is it's got warning lights saying check power steering etc cause I took battery out
I have the same issue on a 2020 Stelvio dealer told me to drive it more lol
AAA saved me bro 😂😂😂
just change battery every 3 years
Get a Lexus..problem solved.
No cool factor, nice try.
Lexus are for females
Buy a toyota 4 runner....u will live happy your whole life
FPS ROB 4Runner? Is it trouble free SUV?
Varda batteries are junk. Why Alfa keeps using them is a mystery to me. Alfa doesn’t need help with there crummy reputation!
The acura tl is better
octo tony woomy tones lumi Its better at being slow
Honda tl
