2012 Ford Fusion: battery drain or dead battery

Filed Jan 9, 2019 · Electrical · WA

If my car sits for more than three days, the battery is dead. I've taken it into the dealer multiple times (at least 5 or more times, now I just live with the problem, since it's no longer under warranty). The ford dealership said they couldn't find any issues. All they did, is recharge the battery a few times and eventually, replaced the battery. Even with the newer battery, it still has the same problem: dead battery after three days. If I charge the battery up to 100%, twenty-four hours later, the % rate has dropped about 35%, down to level of 65-67%. It's down this since I bought the car when it was new.

Yesterday in the evening while there was a rain storm the front lights of my 2012 ford fusion went out completely, luckily for us school teachers there was sufficient daylight to help us get home from work. Several months ago, the same thing occurred while I was traveling on a busy wilmington, delaware state road.earlier the right side brake light fizzled which was replaced on february 10, 2014 and the driver's side headlight had to be replaced at the dealership the year before.in other areas, the transmission of this car has a tendency to slip whenever I move it from park to drive. In addition, last year the car battery was drained and triple a road service had to recharge the battery. The dead battery caused us to lose several hours from teaching.the am car radio reception, is also poor and subject to interference, and drops in volume. The cd player is erratic and has a tendency to skip songs and stop all together.in less than two years of operation, this car is only used for short distance travel of 30 miles a day as we fear continued breakdowns.venturing into night time travel or long distance interstate travel is not advisable given this car's tendency to lose external illumination.what is most troubling is that the internal dashboard did not warn me when the tailgate break light and front passenger beam light went out of order.the only time I have experienced the dashboard in operation was when one of the car tires needed to be re-inflated and when it was time to refuel the gas tank.I have taken this model to sheridan ford dealership where they have rotated the tires and changed the oil . On may 13, 2013, I paid $17.00 service charge to rotate the tires.at that time they conducted a multipoint inspection where it was determined it was ok.the above issues merit ford recall this car.

Trip home from work, approx 45 miles into my trip, car on cruise control going 72 MPH and stalls, the wrench light comes on. I cannot accelerate using the gas pedal. Pull to shoulder, car idles rough. Turn off and back on. Continued trip without problem. Nov. 14. 2013: car taken to local ford dealer and they cannot retrieve any error codes. Mention throttle body but they didn't see any need to check this but replaced a supposed dead battery. Nov. 15, 2013: on drive back home from work, about 20 miles into my drive, car on cruise control at set at 70 MPH stalled again with wrench light. Have no reaction at all with gas accelerator. Pulled over to stop. Car idols rough. Turned and back on again. Nov. 15, 2013:stopped at a stop sign. As I went to press the gas to make the left hand turn, I noticed that my car had died.
