I still have the extended warranty so I hope that covers it. I saw the thread you're talking about and it seems these batteries start at around $113.00. It's not the money, it's the damn principle at this point. I bought it from a dealer as a "Certified" pre-owned vehicle and it would hardly be "Certified" if they sold it to me with a bad battery.
Thanks very much for your response.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend.
