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.

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.

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)

Replying to: kwaklinus (Aug 17, 2009 9:12 pm) It was apparently caused by the XM receiver that I had plugged into the auxiliary outlet. It's no longer a problem since I canceled XM but kept Sirius. Replies to this message: akirby (Aug 18, 2009 7:25 pm)
