To clarify, the cars do not have teeth, they do not chew them.
Cannot account for all the variables, just what I see in my shop w +/- 200 customers.
After four years or so of battery life on the SS, cars will often not start after just a few minutes of sitting with the lights on in the shop. Also, strange electrical gremlins such as stability control failures and steering column lock malfunctions seem to pop up more intermittently with no die hard cause. New batteries usually fix that problem. We also see a lot of the corroded battery terminals at the starter and the ACM controlled cutout switches corrode badly and cause low starting amperage that often lead to no start conditions.
