NHTSA Complaint #11133239 — 2013 FORD EDGE

HAVE HAD LIGHTS STAY ON, COME BACK ON OR RADIO TURN ON IN GARAGE AFTER IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A WHILE. 10 OR MORE INSTANCES OF THE BATTERY BEING COMPLETELY DISCHARGED AFTER BEING TURNED OFF IN GARAGE FOR TWO TO FOUR DAYS. THERE WILL BE NO PROBLEMS FOR A LONG TIME FOLLOWED BY TIMES WHEN EVERY OTHER WEEK THERE IS A PROBLEM TO HAVING TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY EVERY NIGHT OR IT WON'T START. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY 4 OR 5 TIMES AND HAVE AGAIN ON A NEW DEEP CYCLE BATTERY HAVING PROBLEMS. ALSO HAD VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AT A STOP SIGN IN FIRST 6 MONTHS TO YEAR OF LIFE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS SOME SORT OF FUEL THING THAT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED EVERY 10,000 MILES TO KEEP IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. HOWEVER, IT COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN THE BATTERY, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND IS NOT MECHANICALLY INCLINED. WE HAVE HAD CONSTANT BATTERY PROBLEMS BUT NO FURTHER FUEL ISSUES.
