Worried about shrinking range on successive level 2 charges done at my house over last two years, I did a long slow level one two nights ago. It took 13 hours and got me 16 bars with 55 miles on countdown guess o meter. It had been 84 when I got the car with about 23K miles on it; now it's 28K. CanIon reports about 70% capacity and there is some variation on individual cell volts. The factory warranty expires in a few weeks on the traction battery. Car is a 2012 first sold in jan of 13; thus the ticking 96 month clocks.
But today after not even starting it for a full day, I had 15 bars and 51 miles. Overnight temp was around 40F. This has never occurred. I can trade it at the mitsu dealer for some reasonable money; the question is SHOULD I get rid of it before it completely fails and the factory won't fix it? Or is this loss of range with zero load a de facto failure? Impossible to reach anyone at HQ for weeks I expect; last time it took a month for them to reply to basic warranty question.
What would you all do? Thank you.
