Tailgate Problems of Ford C-max

I bought this vehicle used in March of 2018. The 12 volt battery has completely drained numerous times the first month I owned it. About 10 - 12 times. Finally in April of 2018 I replaced the 12 volt batter to the tune of $155. 00. I thought this would take care of the problem. It did for a few weeks. Then I would get up to leave for work and my battery would be dead again. I have been averaging 3-4 jumps a week to get car running. The battery was replaced yet again in July 2018. This week I have had to jump my car a total of 6 times in 5 days. I have been late to work twice. And two of the mornings the car did start it had been on the battery charger overnight. I was able to get to work these two mornings, but 4 hours later when I went out to go to lunch the battery was dead again. I am typing this on my lunch hour as I sit at my desk. Car is dead again and I can't leave. I read all the issues other owners are having that are just like mine and do not know why Ford has refused to issue a recall. I have to carry around jumper cables and a battery charger in my car and hope someone comes along to assist me. This car is unreliable. Then November 17 when we were in branson, mo for thanksgiving the rear tailgate latch failed. It has not worked since. I understand another of Ford's issues. We have adjusted the rear bumper pads per Ford's recommendation for that issue. It did not help. Now I have to take it in the Ford dealer on 12/15 and have that replaced to the tune of $358. 00. How can they get away with issues with no accountability?.
