Not trying to point fingers but if it has only done it after coming back from the dealer sounds like they might either be leaving the door open and the light stays on or perhaps during their diagnostics something is left plugged in too long. Definitely sounds like they like to hook it up and just leave it a while. I'd just bring it to their attention and see what they say. They also may not realize it is happening. Now if it does this on your own time or any time after the dealer then you likely have a parasitic drain coming from something.
