Hybrid battery went dead

[Alpha]

My Maverick XLT came in March. I do alot of long distance driving for work so i am currently up to 7200 miles. Just this afternoon I go and get ready for one of my service calls and my key will not open the truck. Manually open the driver side door, put my key in the ignition and..........the vehicle will not start. I call Ford Roadside and within 30mins I get the rep to jump my truck. Now, this stuff shouldn't be happening so soon. Just wondering has anyone had this or any type of issue w/ the truck not starting?

Unfortunately, there are a few threads on this.

Yes a bunch of folks on this Forum have had the same issue. Seems the potential fix is for Ford to replace the battery cable with this https://www.oemfordpartscheap.com/p...ery-Cable-Positive/119664100/LX6Z14290PA.html

No time. They're trying to get their high profit Mustang EV.s from dying on the road.

He was a early adopter. How do you know they aren’t shipping them now with better harness’s. Seems most with this problem got them built in Jan.

Wow that's a little pricey. But at least a deal at $584. Unbelievable, for a battery cable. Shame on you Ford.

Cheers.

Has it been narrowed down to early builds?

January was the build month.

OMG, $583.87 for a battery cable? That is nuts. I could make them with some #1 welding cable, T&B lugs and a hydraulic crimping tool to crimp them for a fraction of the cost.

What is meant by early adopter? I'm driving a hybrid made in September whose VIN number ends on 00944. This must be pretty early I'm guessing.

Update:
Left the truck to "Charge" for 35mins. Turned off the vehicle and............back to square one. Taking this back to the dealer tomorrow morning to see where this goes. So pissed off!

I'll start by saying I know very little about the interworking of how cars work. Basic stuff, sure. But nothing like some of this forum. Is there anything preventative that owners can do about this dead battery issue? What would someone say to their mechanic to look for to see if they are at risk for this?
