Some Pontiac Vibe owners report experiencing battery drain issues, with their batteries depleting after just two days of inactivity despite being replaced multiple times. This problem may indicate a parasitic power draw, which can be tested using a multimeter to measure the draw after disconnecting the negative battery cable. Additionally, some owners find that malfunctioning components may continue to draw current when the vehicle is off, and ensuring the key is fully turned off can prevent overnight battery drainage. Corroded battery terminals and an improperly charging alternator are also potential contributors to this issue. Addressing these underlying causes may help resolve the battery drain problem in the Pontiac Vibe.
