DonnaMx Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Just had the same with my 2022 hybrid. Charged it on the Sunday. Off charge same day but next morning completely dead. AA couldn’t start and said something interrupting comms. Had to drag the car off driveway. Took dealer 9 days to come and tell me flat 12V battery and not a warranty issue. Guess from reading by here it’s going to be an ongoing problem 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to Ford dealership on 1 March and they have done system updates and replaced 12v battery. Told last Friday the battery is still draining so advised to remove Ford pass. Done that and it’s still draining. They don’t seem to have a clue what’s wrong. Really annoying. Only done a couple of thousand miles I have been having the same problem. Currently Fords Waltham cross have my vehicle. Updates on system done. . Ford app still reporting battery drain. They won’t replace battery unless head office has advised.

duretti Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 My battery died without warning and I needed a neighbor's car to start it. Ford tells me that I have to change the 12v battery and this is the 3rd time in 3 years that the battery dies without warning. Ford Kuga is a good car to drive but this is not acceptable!

Naoufel Daikh Posted Thursday at 05:12 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:12 PM Hi guys, i have been having the same issue, and i think my dealer here in Norway finally found a fix for it. I had the car for 1 month now after the fix, and its not giving me any message about sleep mode anymore, and the car havent died since then. When you guys go to the dealer, ask them to change the 12V battery, because after its going dead mulitple times, its never gonna be the same. The main fix is a sensor that works with the engine and the dynomo. It tells them when the battery needs to be chrages while driving and not. And make them update all the moduls. Hope this helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't blame the battery for that. It sent you a letter a week before saying it was feeling poorly, but due to post office strikes it arrived too late. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
