Another Dead Optima
My red top died after 14 months. Went on vacation for a week, came home and car would not start. Charged battery as per instructions, then drove car 75 miles. Figured that would be more than enough to get the battery back in shape. WRONG.... stuck 75 miles from home and car would not start!.. Thank goodness for kind people that helped me with a jump start. So I call Optima and tell them I cannot return it to AMAZON due to federal regulations, so can I take it to any auto parts store that sells Optima's?..... NO.... has to be taken to a Interstate Distributor and has to be tested over night... hmm... closest Distributor is 100 miles away... so basically they are telling me I would have to drive a total of 400 miles to get this POS replaced... This is the second Optima I've had that died long before the advertised longivity... but it will be the lst one I buy.
