I'm curious--i'm having the 'battery saver'/'dead battery' issue with my 2012. I've never liked that the indicators on the gear shift console don't light up. Any car i've ever had that had a console gearshift, you could tell by looking at it that it was clearly in D or R or M--or P. Now it seems there could be a faulty park switch draining the battery. Just looking for a pattern/connection. SHOULD the letters light up, or is the only real indicator on the dash. What,s the point of having the letters on the console if they don't indicate anything? Thx

Same issue here--keys out of ignition--car in park, etc, etc, etc. Hours/days after car parked in garage--go to garage for something and notice the display is on. Slow to turnover on starts, with battery replaced just over a year ago under warranty. 'Couldn't find anything wrong'. Today an oil change at my local Goodyear shop. "Looks like the battery is going south." This seems to be such a prevalent problem with the 2012 Edge. What does it take to get a TSB out to the dealers to check for the park switch, bms, etc issues tgat seem to be draining the batteries. Multiple trips to the dealer that accomplish nothing is not good service. I'll be biting the bullet and getting a new battery, but not one from the Ford dealer this time. My Goodyear guy is much more accommodating--smaller, trusted shop.
