I have a 2013 SE model and have experienced the dead-battery drain symptom 6 times now. As of yesterday, Ford is most definitely NOT receptive to replacing my vehicle under my state ( Georgia) lemon laws, they told me to "just take it back to the dealership, it's still under warrantee". Overall, I love the car and the great gas mileage. The "dead car syndrome" occurs always at home after being in the garage. It has had multiple attempts to correct the problem. It has occurred after 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, and 15 months of ownership. I have only 8300 miles on it. Not all the 2013 models have this problem, buyer beware.

just joined this forum. My 2013 C-Max is currently battery-dead for the 6th time since purchase Feb 2013. After the 4th repair, I began the paperwork under Georgia state lemon law and finally had to send the letter to Ford ( corporate) for replacement vehicle. I have all the necessary documentation, certified letter copies and post office receipts. Heck, I even have a copy of the letter I received from Ford - last December while my car was in the shop for 17 days - telling me there MIGHT be a problem with battery drain and maybe I should have it looked at. I was advised yesterday by their legal rep , that Ford DECLINES to adhere to our state lemon laws and I should just " take it back to the dealership, it's still under warrantee". I am completely speechless, what am I supposed to do with an unreliable car that dies in my garage on average every 90 days?!?!?!?! How can they just say they choose to ignore the law??!?!?
