Description of the problem | On many occasions my cars main battery has completely drained. Something in the car keeps draining the battery for no reason all essentials are completely turned off that i am aware. In all cases the car was parked for periods of time. My wife went on a business trip came back after two weeks to find her car at lot dead. . She managed to get a jump from someone. This was during minnesota winter. Car left in garage for summer while took other car on a trip for a few weeks only to come back where car was dead again. Managed to get it recharged. Again car left in garage for longer period about 3 months as wife was on disability. Car again was found dead and was unable to recharge as my charger indicated battery was bad. Car under warranty. Towed to where purchased, said battery was bad. I informed them this has happen several times and apparently battery was not under same warranty. Battery replaced out of my pocket. Car went back into storage again. Again battery died. Took in again and i asked they conduct a through test as something keeps draining the battery. I also went out to charge the battery about every two weeks. But eventually my charger tagged the battery as bad again. They replaced again no charge. But they said were not able to find anything. After home this time i charged every week and when i do the battery shows it has drained anywhere from 30% - 40% each week. I need someone to intervene with ford as i do not drive the car as much now and this is concerning as now is my only vehicle and warranty ends soon. Car was serviced each time at midway ford 2777 n snelling, roseville, mn 55113 (844) 338-7004. I don't have other details at this time. All records are with dealership of service. The exact dates are unknown as did not realize this would become a long term constant problem. I see that nhtsa id numbers 10733369 & 10871542 are similar to my case. |
