I shut mine of and have not experienced the issue since.

To reboot, car needs to completely shutdown prior to restart. (Park for 2-3 hours)

Hi D350Z,

Thanks for your feedback. I don't use the auto stop-start feature, and it has been disabled since day 1. Hopefully all of my symptoms are related to a battery issue as you describe, but if so, it would be great if the vehicle threw a noticeable error which indicated this, which is unfortunately not the case. It will be taken in for service (yet again) soon.
