  1. I just joined the forum after my wife's 2014 C-Max Hybrid joined the dead battery club this morning. Here's my observations of our problem: The car started immediately after a jump start from my truck. It took longer to find where they wanted the ground connection to be made than to jump it. The 0 key on the radio works (I saw on this thread that this was a problem on some cars with this problem) Only the driver rear power window would work for a few minutes after the car was running. The window lock switch didn't have an effect on the windows working or not. The car has been ours for about three weeks and has about 2500 miles on it. This car has remote start; there was a few posts about radio frequency (made in jest I am fairly sure...) that made me think about this one. When you press the button, it doesn't really "start" anything that you could hear. Wouldn't it be something if all the cars that had battery problems had remote starters that were reacting to either buttons being held closed in a purse or pocket or to stray interference? The day after we bought this car we drove it on a roughly 1800 mile round trip journey. About 500 miles later (2 weeks) we have a dead battery. That's about all the useful information I have on this occurance. J White
