Replying to: kaiw (May 01, 2009 5:47 pm) our 09 ending with B40... was built in January 09. There is a sticker on the drivers side front door. the date (mm/yy) is at the top left. Replies to this message: kaiw (May 02, 2009 12:47 pm) explorerx4 (May 02, 2009 1:19 pm) pats1 (Jul 05, 2009 4:36 pm)

Replying to: kaiw (May 02, 2009 12:47 pm) i hope your new battery makes everything ok. one time my wife bought a new car. she took it to a store, and called me to tell me it was totally dead. the remote to unlock the doors wouldn't even work. i drove over to check out the car. by accident, i discovered the battery cables were loose. i tightened them up and the car was ok, until the battery went bad years later.

Replying to: explorerx4 (May 02, 2009 1:19 pm) I completely agree with the other posters - the battery problem is not indicative of Ford's QC program and/or the vehicle's overall reliability. Ford and other car makers should take a lesson from VW. Did you ever see their (VW) cars come off the transport trucks? They have a solar cell attached inside the front windshield to keep the battery charged. They send the solar cells back and re-use them. Probably saves them a ton of $$$$ on batteries and battery-related warranty issues from new car buyers.
