 My battery constantly goes dead, everytime it rains, snows or even gets cold. i brought a brand new battery and a brand new alternator and it still does the same thing. the air-bag message keeps coming up along with every electrical component there is on this car. i have taken it to dealerships to get diagnostics and they never find anything wrong. this is not safe for my kids to ride in please advise. *tr
