#1 of 12 Battery won't hold charge by exner60 Oct 20, 2008 (6:47 am)
Two Mondays in a row, I've gone out to start my car to head to work only to find a dead battery.   Last week, my local Ford dealership theorized that it was a result of corrosion. They cleaned things up, and I was able to drive the car to work on Thursday and Friday.   It's back at the dealership. In the meantime, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar. NOTE: I don't drive the car on weekends.

Replying to: exner60 (Oct 20, 2008 6:47 am) what car do you have and how old is it? newer cars have a battery saver feature.

It's a 2007 Mercury Milan Premier. The dealership called today to tell me that it's not the battery. They're still trying to find why, if not driven every day, it won't start.
#4 of 12 Have had battery issues on my Mazda 6 by milkman1 Oct 21, 2008 (12:26 pm)
My Mazda 6 is a 2003 and I am on my 3rd battery. There has been more corosion at the connection points than I have had on earlier cars, but the battery has been dead each time it ran out of charge. 1st time under warranty and recently outside of warranty. Similar set up to the Milan.

Replying to: exner60 (Oct 20, 2008 6:47 am) My car was parked at the airport for three days and when I got back the battery barely started the car. The valet brought the car up, turned it off, and left the radio on. The car would not start immediately but after taking the key out and waiting 5 minutes the car started. Seems like a car with only 20K miles and in use for a little over a year would not have a bad battery.   Did you get an answer to your question about the battery not holding a charge?   Also, it seems like places like Sam's, AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts do not carry a battery that will fit in a fusion. Any alternatives other than the dealer? Replies to this message: blumstein (Nov 17, 2008 5:54 pm) akirby (Nov 18, 2008 5:55 am)

Replying to: andy59 (Nov 17, 2008 4:29 pm) If the battery is under warrantee, then the dealer is certainly the best choice. Of course, you should have the electrical system tested in case it isn't the battery. BTW, have you added anything to your car that might draw current when the car is off, like an alarm system?

Replying to: andy59 (Nov 17, 2008 4:29 pm) It's under warranty - let the dealer check the entire system and replace the battery. Shouldn't be an issue.

Replying to: exner60 (Oct 20, 2008 6:47 am) Did you ever find out what was wrong with you car? I have the same problem right now. Replies to this message: exner60 (Aug 18, 2009 6:49 pm) akirby (Aug 18, 2009 7:25 pm)
