My daughter's car has eaten 3 batteries in the last year. The guy at Firestone, where she got her last 2 batteries, didn't find a problem but suggested she go to the dealership. What could the problem be and how difficult would it be to diagnose?
Thanks.

I would have your charging system tested by the dealership and if they find no problems there, have them perform a parasitic draw test and see if theres anything grabbing battery power when it shouldn't be. The spec should be under.035 millivolts.
