    We've got a few at work. There not bad to drive apart from the horrible amount of electronics that tries to take over all the time and their stiff as. Had two with exactly the same problem with randomly getting flat batteries (real quick - like within an hour) Been back to Ford countless times who are hopeless. Given up on them just carry a jump starter pack, their nearly out of lease now.
    They've sold like hot cakes, must be a few happy campers out there tho.

    I wish Ford knew about that. Went to a few dealers none of them had a clue or admitted they knew of it. After doing a bit of research seems like a common problem you'd think they would do a recall or at least know the fix. . . Glad i didn't buy one of the lemon ones (not that i could afford one). . .

    Once you unlock the doors or get out and don't lock the car the park and brake lights will be on so just pull all the bulbs and there will be no drain its not a charging issue
