Subject: UGH!! Another Battery?

I Purchased a 2003 Kia Sedona LX back in january of 03. I was extremely happy with the versatility of my mini van. Shortly after I took possesion of my little van, I took a trip to Florida from NYC. Very nice ride, very nice trip..
Got back home, and the very next day, as i was driving to work, the van gave a chug, and then threw the check engine light. i drove it to work, and all the way there, felt as though i didnt have the power i should from a 6 cylinder. I called the dealership, and took the car there right after work. While talking to the service advisor, i told him it feels like its running on 5 cylinders.. and guess what,, IT WAS! .. it ran great after that.. then in september, my family and i took a nice little cruise to the caribbean. upon my return to nyc, i went to start my little wondercrap.. and it wouldnt start. after calling triple a, and getting a jump start, it ran.. right to the dealership with it.. I was told it needed a new battery. Interesting, i know that batteries dont normally last for more than a year.. but give me at least one year. the dealership replaced the battery at no charge, and i was on my way again. a few months pass by, and in the coldest month of the year.. january, when my little piece of crap is only 1 year old.. it starts acting like it doesnt want to start. so, i get it to work one last time, and back home, and park it in the driveway backwards, so that if needed, triple a can come and rescue me, which they had to do this morning. once again, after telling the dealership they should really check the alternator on this van as well... whats it going to take to get the dealership to listen to me?? UGH!! if it goes for one more battery, im gonna scream, till i get my results!
