> The battery dying due to the trunk being open… I bring a booster everywhere, even on short drives, because the battery could die for such stupid reasons. My wife stops to listen to the radio and look at the city on a local mountain? Dead. Washing the car and leave a door open for vacuuming? Dead. One of the kids turns on the computer without us realizing? Yeah, totally dead. I’ve boosted this car more than a dozen times now. We don’t do anything that wasn’t totally fine with past vehicles.

That does not sound normal. AGM batteries are designed to have enough capacity to power car computer and other demanding circuits, but the car would typically intervene before your battery goes dead. Either the battery is bad or there is a phantom drain in some circuit. Get it checked out!

I believe there’s more to it as well, but the mechanic ran diagnostics and said this is fairly typical for the model (it’s a highlander).
