The car has recently had a new starter, alternator and battery cables and new battery. Since the new battery has been installed the gauge will read full battery. Then within the last week as soon as I shut off the car even tho the battery gauge says that it's full, when I go to start it again I end up needing a jump start. Sometimes the battery will shift as well and not be connected at all. Still after making sure it's in place, it needs a jump start after shutting it off every time. We have looked and theirs nothing that gets left on to drain it. Thank you

you may just have a connection problem, check all connections and clean the terminals. and check all connections from the battery to the alternator to the starter.
