JacksMax Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Well it took 18 months of ownership of my 2013 SE for me to experience a dead battery. It sat in my garage for two days. When I went to drive out of the garage, turned the key and nothing. No lights, etc.Connected my 8 amp battery charger and let it charge for a couple of hours. Then got into the CMAX to see if it would do something. When I turned the key everything inside the car was turned on; A/C, radio, climate control on max cool, all dash lights, etc. It was quite surprising. I know for sure they were all off when I parked the car.Well, let it charge over night and then tried again and everything seems back to normal. Will drive it today and hope that I don't need to call for a jump. I need to go to the dealer for a couple of recalls. Plan on letting them know about this incident. Sure hope Ford has found the cause of this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottwood2 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 You might need an update done to correct this issue. We are hoping that the latest update/test of the system takes care of the issue. Could be the battery also. Mine is about a year old now and they had to do the update about 6 months ago.

Please let me know, along with your mileage, and I'll check out some options. Meagan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
