So my granddaughter's Jeep Rubicon battery died

[rocks]

A month ago the Jeep battery went dead. He called AAA and they jumped it or changed the battery. My son in law didn't want to tell me
but when he asked if the Wrangler has this problem, he said a few but the small Broncos Wow. They are the #1 by far. LOL.
I don't worry about the battery because it's constantly charged when the Bronco is not in use.

What data do you have saying the BS is the #1 car with a battery problem?

No data. Just talk from a AAA service guy. He stated the small Broncos are most of his battery calls versus other vehicles.

When she asked the guy did she reference Jeep vs. BS or did she say “What vehicle has the most dead batteries?” I’m not trying to be difficult but often when you ask someone a loaded question you get a loaded answer.

For example my company gives me a Chevy for my car, and the Traverse battery died at 16k miles. My BS has over 45k miles no issues. So if you asked me what has more battery issues, a Chevy or a Ford I’m telling you Chevy all day.

My son in law asked if the Wrangler has this problem, and he said a few but the small Broncos Wow. They are the #1 calls they get by far.
The service guy added the statement about the BS without my son in law asking what vehicle has the most battery problems.

AAA remembers the Bronco Sport battery changes because they are a pain and cost a $40 up charge. That’s what an AAA Tech said while replacing an AAA Battery in our Toyota a few weeks ago (the AAA battery failed in 17 months, was replaced for free under the AAA warranty).

Am on my 2nd Bronco Sport Badlands and have NEVER had a battery problem. Would like to know where he got his info from or just hearsay.

Hearsay? The guy is a AAA road service employee. Why would he lie? It's no secret the BS has some battery issues. Do a search. It is what it is. You and I and many others haven't had issues but there was a problem for many here.

You’re fighting an uphill battle dude . These people don’t want to hear it!
Just the facts ma’am, hearsay evidence is heresy evidence here

True!
This happens on all forums.

It’s not that no one wants to hear it, it’s just there isn’t any real data other than some posters on a forum and now one AAA guy. I’ve said this before. This forum has a little over 11k members. That’s about a month of BS production. The BS has been in production for more than 3.5 years. With close to 350k sold in the US alone. Do you want to correlate about 50 people on a forum saying they had battery issues as a blanket statement that there is a full blown battery issue across the board? This is the internet. People come here to troll and complain. It’s not real life.

Lots of vehicles have battery problems. Maybe the AAA guy was a Jeep fan, who knows. If you believed e eryone who owns this vehicle or that vehicle and says they're junk etc without the actual statitics being posted to back it up, it is just one person's opinion. That is all I am saying. So post the statistics. Thanks

P.s. How many is many?

I'm not saying it's a full blown issue. I'm just posting what a AAA guy said about the calls he's been making on vehicles with battery issues.
Again, my son in law did not ask what are the worst vehicles with battery issues. The guy said what he did about the BS without any input from my son in law about a BS.

An opinion but his job is to service people with vehicle issues. So, his opinion and experiences have more validity than us here.
