[QUOTE="SurfRaptor, post: 1859420, member: 38811"] It's been mentioned a few times on the forum so far, but I don't know if there has been a solution. Mine finally did this on Monday for the first time, and it only sat for 3 hours after a 20-mile drive to work. I had a different post asking about aftermarket battery options. Another member said that the factory battery is just as good as all the other aftermarket brands, but I just can't wrap my head around that one. I really don't think Ford spent the money on these batteries or maybe because of production issues they let them sit for a long period of time before they shipped out and therefore these things are toast.
