We have had our 2013 Edge towed to the dealer twice because of either the battery is dead or there is an electrical failure in the system somewhere. Because we do not have a garage the tow truck driver had to jump start the car to get it in neutral so he could put it on his truck. The dealer replaced the battery and it was fine for 2 days. Then it happened again (thank goodness it was in my driveway and not out in the desert!!) Once again it had to be jump started so it could be moved and then the dealer could not duplicate the failure. They kept it a week and still nothing happened so we got the car back. Now when I park the car anywhere I either put it in a pull through parking spot or back it in my driveway so that if it has to be towed again they can use the front end lift and it should still be dead when it gets to the dealer so they can find the problem. Apparently if it is the battery there is something draining the charge. We took the car on a fairly long drive this weekend -- southern California to Sacramento and back. We had do problems. However, we do not feel comfortable taking the car somewhere that we have to stop the car and then get it started again to get to our final destination. We should not have to worry about this with a new car -- it is 6 months old. If we absolutely have to be somewhere we take our 8 year old Grand Marquis that is very dependable -- sure wish Ford was still making those because we would have bought another one -- the one we have is our 5th one and we will hang on to it as long as we can!! Obviously Ford has an electrical problem that they need to fix. Probably we are going to have to do the lemon law thing after a few more trips to the dealer for service.
