Havent heard anything.

But my OEM battery had given me problems even before I installed my upgraded audio/video system. Then after it was installed the battery was unusable with going out for a short drive and crankin some tunes, come home and park overnight and in the morning I would have to put the old snap-on jump starter on it for a minute or two to start it cause the battery was Dead.

Bought the Deka Intimidator AGM Battery and have not had one problem since.

A check of the NHTSA website didn't turn up anything sleeper, here's the link if you want to use their search engine.

Dealer replaced mine after about a year. Advance checked it and said it was good shape, figured it was replaced under warranty.

The original battery in my '06 got replaced earlier in the year. I had no issues, but one morning, I went out and a bunch of idiot lights were on and the car wouldn't start. I put a charger on the battery for a while, the car started and I had the battery replaced. It seem that in Florida, batteries last maybe five years then suddenly die. I have had that happen on three different cars.

No problem sleeper, that NHTSA sight is handy, and you can easily file a complaint about something like a power steering motor...hint to those calling for a recall, you need to file complaints with NHTSA before they investigate.
