My 2010 Nissan Maxima has a parasitic drain on the battery. I have put 3 batteries in it over 3 year period and cheap batteries either. It doesn’t happen all the time and doesn’t matter if it's hot or cold. Tried calling Nissan to see if they had any suggestions and of course, they said to just bring it in and we will run diagnostic on it. But we can’t make any guarantees that we will locate it. They want $250.00 per hour to run diagnostic with no guarantee of identifying problem. Anybody else having issues?
