Well My 2014 has had the battery drain dead on me twice now. After the first time it happened the dealer replaced the battery. I drove the car for 4000 miles and everything was fine. I go on vacation and the car sits in my driveway for 8 days and I come home to a dead battery. I took the car to the dealer and they test it and let it sit for 2 1/2 days and tell me the battery drain is normal...Now... I mentioned to the dealer when I took the car in that I have noticed that the lights on the bottom of the On Star mirror have been lit up a few different times while the car was parked in my driveway..most of the time the lights are off while the car is parked. So..I got to thinking and I parked my car in the driveway so I could look outside and see the mirror of the car at night. Well last night the lights on the On Star mirror were lit up after I parked my car and they stayed on all night long. The lights on that mirror only shut off when I started the car in the morning. I shut the car off and then the light on the mirror were off like they are supposed to be while the car is shut down.
I don't think it's unreasonable to think that if the mirror lights stay on and don't go off.... and who knows if the On Star is transmitting a signal or not.....not sure how that On Star works...that this just might be the reason the battery is being drained dead if the car is parked for a week or so if the On Star mirror is still lit up.
I went back to my dealer and told them what I've found and they said they would call the techs at GM to see if they can find anything out. Hopefully GM will have answer for this issue.
