Battery has been replaced, suspicious on a <2 year old car with only 12k miles.
Also missing the red plastic terminal cover. Worst case scenario it was a ghetto wiring job for the amp that killed the OE battery (mine is doing fine after 4 years and 55k miles) and the problem is still lingering unfixed despite removal of the amp and whatever other changes there were, best case it died on the lot or by some sort of user error (left the lights on a few too many times), or the PO replaced it for something lighter (it does look a bit smaller) or for some silly reason. Check out a regular 2015, maybe I'm wrong and they changed battery suppliers, but I doubt it, that Panasonic battery seems to be ubiquitous in every photo I see. Edit: Looking at OP's photo the battery does not appear to be secured at all and the handle is broken, secure it asap please. Everything else looks reasonable (aside from the use of armorall in the engine bay, fuckin' dealerships man) based on the pics, maybe it's nothingn, enjoy. ![]() |

With a loose battery and open positive terminal you are one hard stop or light tap away from an exploding battery at best and a burnt up car at worst. Head to the nearest auto wrecker and grab a tie down and cover ASAP.

I can confirm this. The previous owner of my FRS had the knob mounted on the dash, wire ran through the console, and coiled up in the trunk. But for some odd reason forgot to leave the amp/sub it was attached to! So it's there if you run a compatible amp. Plug your land-line phone into it in the meantime.

![]() IMHO, with you living in Florida (don't need winter tires), there is really nothing that you need to do to your car, for average driving, especially since you already have a aftermarket muffler and a drop in air filter. I would suggest you drive it stock for a few weeks, then decide if there is anything you would like it to do/look better/different. Just because some folks modify their car, the modification(s) don't necessarily make it better, other than for specialized uses (tracking for example). humfrz |
