Recall wouldn't cause your battery to drain. All it did is change some variables in the computer. You might have simply lost the battery lottery.

That’s what the service manger said also. The battery failed testing, so they replaced it under warranty. No new issues noted.

Question: Up until the failure was the A.S.S. operative even if you choose to not use it? The failure of the A.S.S. system was my indication my battery was failing basically from Day One. (It quit working never to return on Day Three). Just wondering. Thanx.

A.S.S? is that something like the A.S.S.U.M.E.?

Auto Stop/Start: If the battery is weak it is disabled.

It worked right up to the battery failure.

batteries last about 2-3 years, summer (and road vibrations) are the primarly cause of failures and wear - typically you don't have symptons until the colder months where it takes more amps to start the engine - but as we have read and seen that battery can have many other adverse affects even earlier. Eventually you'll need a new one - if you want some piece of mind go and buy a quality new one and put any worries to rest....

I would recommend a non-Ford AGM battery such as Interstate. I bought one at Costco for $170 a few months ago.

I like Interstate. I’ll get one on the next go. This one was replaced under warranty.

Glad they replace it. My dealership didn't even offer to do this. Chaulked it up with my "aftermarket" amplifier set up as being the issue. Even though I told them the battery died BEFORE my aftermarket install.

Finally had a chance to pop the hood and see what battery they put in. It turns out that they installed an Interstate. Well done, Granger Ford.

It's a good battery. It is a flooded type and not an AGM, but, it's about as strong a battery that you can get!!

AGM will be my next one.

Right after I bought my airplane, the Gill flooded battery died. I purchased a Concorde AGM, kept it on a BatterMinder, and it lasted the 8 years I owned the plane, and was still going strong when I sold it. Made me a believer.
