NHTSA Complaint #10650811 — 2013 FORD C-MAX HYBRID

MY 2013 FORD C-MAX HYBRID BATTERY IS DEAD IN THE GARAGE AGAIN. NO ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WERE LEFT ON OVERNIGHT. THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE A TRADITIONAL BATTERY TO START THE ENGINE; IT USES THE HYBRID BATTERY TO DO THAT. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME MY CAR IS DEAD. I CALLED AAA TWICE AND CHARGED/JUMPED IT MYSELF WITH A BATTERY CHARGER THE OTHER TIMES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES, OF COURSE. I PREVIOUSLY REPORTED POOR MPGS FOR THIS VEHICLE, I AM WONDERING IF A FAULTY BATTERY OR RELATED ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IS THE CAUSE FOR BOTH ISSUES. I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM REPORTED ON SEVERAL OTHER CONSUMER COMPLAINT WEB SITES BY MANY PEOPLE. THIS APPARENTLY IS A CHRONIC ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE. MY WARRANTY IS ALMOST UP, IF I AM HAVING ISSUES THROUGHOUT MY WARRANTY PERIOD WITH THIS ISSUE (WITH NO RESOLUTION), WHAT HAPPENS WHEN JUMPING THE BATTERY FAILS TO BRING THE CAR BACK TO LIFE AFTER THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT? I REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS COMMON ISSUE AND PRESS FORD TO FIX THE ISSUE AND EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THE BATTERY AND CHARGING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR
