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.
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.
This is the third time the 12 volt battery has died while the car has been sitting for 24 hours or more. The Fusion energi titanium was in the shop for 10 days and the dealer finally replaced the battery after running extensive tests. Each time this happens, the car is totally disabled and has to be jumped. This issue tends to happen when it is very hot outside or the car is sitting in the sun. The high voltage battery fans will run when the car is stopped in traffic and when you power off the car.
