Unfortunately, after six months and 9,500 miles of driving my 2014 C-max SE, I have joined the bad battery club. I got home from my 50-mile roundtrip commute Friday evening. Car dead Saturday morning. I live in San Diego where there's been no moisture coming out of the sky for a long time. Overnight lows were probably in the mid-upper fifties. I did have a 12 volt phone charger that I have kept plugged in since I got the car. I'll be removing that charger moving forward. Called Roadside Assisstance and they came out and jumped the car pretty easily. Didn't want to take it in to the dealer as ironically I already had my 10k service set up for Monday morning (tomorrow as I write this), so I'll be bringing up the battery to them on the visit, although it doesn't appear they will be able to do much. Very worried about what happens past five years and no more roadside assistance, and how this will affect the resell value of the car 5-10 years down the line. No idea when my car was built, but I bought it in October 2014 and it was a 2014 model, so I assume it sat on the lot for awhile. I see references to MFT radio, not sure what that means, but I have all the basic stuff on the car.
