In any case this does nothing to answer the original query which was if anyone knew a particular reason why this problem exists on so many Crossfires and not on so many other cars with similar amounts of electronics.
When we look at this forum we see all the problems associated with it, not many people come on here and say that their car is working wonderfully and better than any car they ever had. It is like going to a hospital and trying to judge the health of the nation, you will get the wrong impression. Go to the other forums on cars they are all the same, problem after problems there as well. As to weakening the electrolyte by adding water, it probably happens to some degree but mainly it is the water that is evaporating. Your first post in this thread said that you could not top up your battery and in your next post you now say it is of course POSSIBLE, you are learning already
All cars have problems, go to the forum sites and you will see them all laid out, the SLK forums mimics our problems.
