2013 Ford Fusion: battery drain or dead battery

Filed Feb 11, 2021 · Electrical · CA

Battery drain everyday resulting in a need to jump start every time we need to use the car. We had the apim replaced in july 2020 after ford diagnosed this as the problem. Now after four months and $1500.00 we are having the same exact issue and ford is saying the backup camera is the cause for the power drain, and they are telling us it will be another $1300.00 to fix this issue. This dealer autonation ford valencia, ca. Has had the car there for 5 weeks now and back in july 2020 they had the car for 4 weeks!!!!! We believe they did not fix the issue that caused the battery drain and now want to charge us again to fix the mistake.

The battery dies after the car is off and parked for 1-2 days. I have replaced the battery twice in 2 years and have the same problem. It is a defect with sync with my ford module. Once due to this the car died while driving and I am afraid it could happen again. Many other owners have the very same problem and ford and the ford dealership pretends they do not know what I'm talking about and act as if it is not a safety issue. This should be a recall. I am still making payments for this car and I have to get it charged every day and due to the pandemic this has caused extreme hardship, when it is more important to have a reliable car. I have charged the battery over 30 times. The car goes dark and unable to open the car with the remote and have to use the key under the door handle. Please help, I do not have the money to pay ford for a defect that they caused in the module that drains the battery.

2013 ford fusion radio still has sound, but screen is black, can't change stations, won't turn off, even after car is turned off and door opens. Battery died, car wouldn't start. Was able to jump start battery, but same thing happened 2 days later. Now battery is completely dead. Had this happened to another household vehicle even after having a new battery installed, and it turned out to be caused by a defective radio.
