  1. I have a 2013 SE that I purchased in April 2013 and don't drive all that much (< 6K miles on it). I have had all of the Recall services and didn't expect any problems and the car has been great. This morning I got home around 8AM and left the car in the carport. Tonight I went out to use it at 10PM and the 12V battery was dead ... decided to call Ford Roadside Assistance and they sent someone out to jump it 25 min later. I actually have AAA and my own jumper, but wanted to watch "an expert" do the first jump on the C-Max, and also to ensure that Ford has a record of the problem. Now what has me suspicious is that I forgot to leave my window's cracked, the carport lets the afternoon sun shine on the car (it was parked with the back end to the afternoon sun), and after the car was jumped this evening the AC came on but I wasn't using it this morning. Is it possible that the C-Max will auto-run the AC (and thereby drain the 12V battery) if the car's internal temperature gets too high??? I've been browsing my User Manual but can't find anything to confirm or deny this suspicion.
