Consumer Description

I know there are issues with the Hybrid versions, but this one is not a hybrid. I have had the battery die 4 separate times resulting in me being stranded due to no fault of my own. This Ford Maverick was purchased through the Military Auto Sales at Ramstein AB Germany. It is US-spec and owned/operated by a US Military member stationed overseas. The first time it happened at the Frankfurt airport after owning it for a week and driving it from the Port of Bremerhaven (port of entry). Once I got it jumped and back to Ramstein I did not have an issue for 3 weeks. It died after sitting for three days over New Years. I jumped it and drove it around for over an hour to charge the battery. I then left it for a few days to see if it occurred again. One week later it died. I then jumped it and drove it around again to charge the battery. At this point I suspected the Ford Pass Connect, bluetooth or wifi to be the cause so I turned all of those off. After going on a work trip for a week I came back to discover it was dead again. Something is wrong with teh battery or electrical system. It should automatically go to a deep sleep mode if lower voltage is detected. I don't know what is running (it is not something the driver selected) but it is killing the battery. The last time my Duracell jump pack registered an error and could not jump it. This is a serious defect that can leave people stranded without warning.
