Radio/tape Cd Player Problems of Ford C-max

When I turned off my car. My radio would not shut off no matter what I did. This in turn drained my battery.

The Ford c max comes with the sync system that controls all of the console systems (radio, backup camera, heat/cold, phone, navigation, and usb ports). In the vehicle, the sync system has quit working on multiple occasions while the vehicle is being operated on both city streets and highways. This causes a distraction, and effort by the driver to remedy. Additionally, the sync causes the backup camera to go in and out, thus causing a backup hazard. The issue has been brought to Ford's service center multiple times, and the vehicle has been in the Ford repair shop multiple times, at least four (4) and the issue has not been repaired. The last two times that have replaced major components to remedy the situation, but it has not.

Third time, electrical components were acting wonky (radio, no controls worked, no shut off, not turning off when door opened, after car turned off, phone part of sync didn't work), then, not sure when, but, after parking in driveway, and not driving for a day or two, car was dead, no response to fob, wouldn't start. Each time, dealership has told me they've fixed it, but, it happens again. Very irritating, to never know for sure, if I'll have a working vehicle. I have also experienced having the windows roll down, all at once, car was off, I'd pressed fob to lock doors. There are many complaints about these problems! Ford needs to figure out what is wrong! I am disabled, no one to help. A dead car is a very hard thing for me to deal with.

1. On taking a trip from panama city beach, FL to indianapolis, in this cmax was parked & locked in the northwest florida beaches parking lot at approximately 9 am cst 2. At approximately 4:30 pm est a telephone call was received from the airport police informing me that the cmax was in the parking lot running with the lights on and I was asked to go to the parking lot and turn the automobile off. After I informed the officer that I was in indiana and could not comply with the request, I proceeded to make numerous telephone calls; Ford motor company, gary smith Ford and others in an attempt to have the cmax turned off but was told it could not be done. I then returned officer's call and asked that they go to the parking lot, break the drivers window, and press the start/stop button to turn the cmax off. The officer called me back to inform me that when they went to the lot, the cmax was not running and the lights were off. 3. Upon returning to the airport on 2/8 I had to use the key to access the cmax since the battery was dead and the gas tank was empty. 4. A jumper battery was used and fuel was added to enable the cmax to run. 5. This vehicle has numerous indicators, audible and visual to alert the driver if exiting the vehicle while the car is in the run mode. The exit from the cmax on 2/2 was normal. Nothing was on. The locking indication was normal and no lights were on ( I keep the headlight switch in the position where if the vehicle is in the run mode, the lights are on ). This problem had to have been caused by a signal from an aircraft or a radio, radar with enough power to broadcast some distance. 6. My concern is that if this type ignition system can be turned on accidentally, it could also be turned off accidentally and that could be disastrous if the vehicle turned off while in motion causing the driver to lose control.
