Latest example was tonight. Wife starts the car. She is in the store 30 minutes. Comes out and the battery is dead. Fires up with jump cables. Third time this week. It makes a whine noise in the alternator area. Nothing comes up on the info center. Battery is not stock replaced it 4 years ago. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Have the alternator tested.

I was thinking about that.

why was the battery replaced on an '08 four years ago? wouldn't it have been about brand new?

That's what the Pontiac dealership told me it was when it wouldn't start.

Whine noise in the alternator area is probably low power steering fluid. The reservoir is under the alternator and you'll need a long skinny funnel to fill it. I'd say you probably have a bum battery. Should have dates on it, though.

Well everyone thank you for your help. Had the battery tested and it was bad. Replaced the battery.

The whine noise was the power steering pump. Put some fluid in and the whine stopped.
