You need to replace the flux capacitor mate, or find another power source that can get you 1.21GW. You can buy them in Australia fromhttps://www.jaycar.com.au/flux-capacitor/p/OUTATIMEbut I'm not sure if they ship overseas to the USA. Good luck and if all else fails you can always use lightning as a jump start

sounds like its running lean. A few tablespoons of sugar in the gas tank should make it start right up. Also chewing gum should seal the tire if you can find the leak.

I don't think so. It sounds more like all of his blinker fluid has evaporated.

Siracha is a good temporary substitute. I think the blinker fluid cap is the one that says Caution Hot

It's definitely a leak in your windshield wiper coolant that probably fried the battery. I'd call safelite and get a quote.

If we're going to be serious, jump starting a new-ish car isn't much of a good idea these days. And jump starting a completely dead battery is even worse. You should consider it an emergency-only procedure. Computer modules can get fried.

ALL new cars will run the battery dead in short order, they are made for daily use. If you're gonna leave it for even 1 week, hook up a battery maintainer. But if it does go dead, just charge it slowly and then you're back to normal. A car battery can only go completely dead a few times before it's toast. Sometimes once is enough. The more slowly you charge it back from dead, the better chance it has or recovering.

had to access the trunk by unlocking something to pull down the rear seat..and using the emergency release in the trunk....just changed the tire...very easy, friend coming over to jump start me soon...if the car works, should i go take the tire and wheel to a repair shop and get it looked at? and also take the battery to an autozone?

Odds are it's the battery, especially if it was stored in a cold climate.

For future reference: I know vacations are fun and all but it's not a good idea to leave your car not running for that long.

Needs to be ran probably like once a week, or else bad stuff starts happening like gaskets and seals drying out.

This, catch a ride to your nearest auto zone or oreillys and tell them you need either some brake light fluid or blinker fluid then refill it

Modern vehicles are always consuming electricity to some degree. If your battery was already on the low side, it likely just drained. Charge it and you'll be fine.

If the battery isn't dead, you're probably best to check the piston return spring next.
