My C6 was ordered end Aug. 2004 and delivered 2 Nov. 2004. In Feb. 2005 I needed a jump start from AAA and the dealer found a dead cell in the battery which he claimed was creating a draw. A new battery was installed. Last Friday, 17 June, the battery needed a jump again after the car had been sitting only 3 days. The dealer found nothing wrong and even called Chevy Tech Center which claimed they had experienced no problems such as mine. My Vette has NAV system, Z-51, 6-speed, etc. I am very conscious of putting the transmission in reverse as the owners manual demands. I ran this by a friend who ordered a C6 at the same time I did. Our cars came in on the same day and the same delivery truck. He has been experiencing the same problem with battery drain and thought it was his fault, but he is also very conscious of leaving the car in reverse per the owners manual. I find this very strange since there are now two cars with the same problem. Have any of you other C6 owners experienced problems with battery drain? I feel that there is an intermittent problem here which Chevy has not yet experienced enough to warrant an investigation, come up with a fix and perhaps even a recall.
