Mysterious draw on battery causing the battery to die after sitting. Battery/alternator test fine. Never know when it's going to happen? I have to keep portable jump starter in the car. Have seen many posts of other Escape owners having the same problem. Ford needs to an issue a recall for this problem.
Car starts/stops intermittently. Will continue to run at times with the engine switched off and key removed. Instrument cluster will completely blackout at anytime without notice. Starter will stay engaged after starting. Stationary and moving without warning on the interstate, doesn't matter where it may be it has become dangerous to drive.
6-4-15 purchased the car brand new 8-7-15 car¿s battery drained completely and had it towed to Ford dealer 7-8-16 car's battery completely drained. Jump started got new battery at Ford dealer 7-29-16 battery completely drained, jumped started. Stopped at Ford dealer and got an appt. On 8-8-16 7-30-16 drove car out of garage approximately 7:30 am at 3:30 pm, the battery was dead. Jump started the car to put back into garage. Called Ford dealer and got an earlier appt. On 8-1-16 (charged battery 6 hrs with battery charger) each time, the battery had to be jumped to start the car. Something in the system is draining the battery completely. The car was parked inside my garage each time that this occurred. It always happened in the am when I went to start the car with the exception on 7-30-16, it was parked outside in the driveway and died there during mid day. Purchased a portable battery jump starter from sears ($125. 00) to stay in the vehicle.
