Battery Drain
Wondering if anyone has experienced a full battery drain and are there known issues? After my normal work commute, the vehicle beeped 5 times at me as if I left my keys (but I had not). I do not have autolock enabled. I rechecked door locks and confirmed the vehicle was not running. Returning 3 hours later, the vehicle lights were flashing and doors unlocked. Key fob wouldn't lock/unlock, tailgate lift disabled, and car would not start. No signs of life except the fob made beeping noise when I left the vicinity of the vehicle.
I've had my 2019 RDX Tech for 3 months and less than 2k miles. Alternator checks out okay after a jump start.

I had my battery replaced after 1 week (400 miles). Car never started one monday morning and nothing was working on the car. Called Acura roadside assistance, jump start the car, went to the dealership, tested the battery, poor battery, they replaced it. The manager told me that probably battery was drained during process of delivery from factory to dealer and never "ressurected" from this action....
The same thing happened to my wife two weeks ago. With the Auto Idle Off (AIO) engaged, the RDX may not be "running" but it can be still on. She had forgotten to turn the vehicle off, got the rapid beeps and didn't see anything wrong until she came back over two hours later and it wouldn't start. Acura's 800 number had her on her way in less than an hour despite the fact she was in a rural area. Along with disabling AIO when she starts it, she is now in the habit of skipping the step of putting the vehicle in Park and just turns it off so she has just a push-one-button process (which automatically puts it into Park) when she parks the RDX.
