2013 Ford Escape: battery drain or dead battery

Filed Nov 22, 2021 · Electrical · IL

Battery went dead for 2 days. Once charged up Imediatley the back light of the truck were off.Even the turn signals dont work properly. Gabe it a few minutes to charge up then when i tried to turn it off it wouldnt shutt off. Took the ignition key out and it still stayed running. It turned off only after 5-10 min on its on. I thought it had to do something with the back lights so I disconeccted the backup light and pluged them back in and And tried to turn it off and on again and the same problem presisted. Engine still kept on running without the keys inside.

My car has an open recall for the door latch not latching properly and I was wondering since the recall was never remedied if it could pertain to the battery draining while my vehicle was simply parked in my driveway. I had to jump start my vehicle and I am hoping that this isnt going to be a reoccuring thing.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford escape. The contact stated that the front and rear doors appeared to be pushed out from the vehicle. In addition, the rear door hatch fractured and detached and the battery died. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the vehicle needed a new battery, the hatch handle needed to be soldered back on, and weather stripping needed to be added to the doors.

Took delivery of 2013 ford escape as new car consumer purchase in august 2013. Battery has been biggest issue to date. I have had dead battery on three separate occasions to date, latest being this morning (march 16, 2015). Battery goes dead after as little as 48 hours of non-use. Ford dealers have tested the battery twice during maintenance visits. They say the battery meets minimum test standards. I can't leave the car anywhere for 2+ days w/o disconnecting battery. Google search suggests that this is not an isolated problem. This needs investigation. Thank you.

Numerous faults with radio and sync system. The radio will come on by itself and will not shut off. This usually occurs when a cell phone is in use and connects or disconnects via bluetooth when the car is started or turned off. The radio will not turn off even after the engine is turned off and the doors are opened, and remain on even if I lock the car. I went inside a store not having left any radio on or anything, came out and he battery was dead. I got a jump start and the radio came on when the car started from being jumped. Evidently sync turned on the radio. This has caused me to be left with a dead battery on two occasions. I am taking it to the dealer on monday, this is a saturday evening.
