This morning my car wouldn't start, only clicking. I'm at the dealership now and wanted to know if my batter replacement should be covered under my warranty?

2014 Acura TSX purchased in March 2014. Was just told they aren't covered by the service guy.

I moved your thread to TSX and added to the title.

i would buy aftermarket instead of going with OEM

I have a 2014 Sportwagon I bought in April but the car has been on lot for about 6 months. With the changing weather here in Houston I've noticed that it takes an extra crank to start. I'm sure my battery is losing power as well. Frankly 3 years is all I ever get out of a battery, especially OEM batteries. A larger more powerful battery is the answer. I especially like Interstate.
