Thanks guys. Well sure looks like the battery. Alternator is putting out 14.5v. Battery was 13.06, so I disconnected it. 1 hour later battery was down to 12.4, 2 hours later down to 11.8... all with no load. I'll replace the battery tomorrow... Thanks for the inputs.

Thanks. I thought that could be the issue. 18 months seems like a really short life since the original was 6 years old, but you are right, things happen...

I have a 2013 AWD Edge and I just started having issues with my battery draining when the car sits for more than a couple of days. Once I charge it up, I'm fine unless it sets unused for a few more days. I have checked for the obvious things like a light left on and can't see anything that might be causing it. The battery is only about 18 months old. I noticed a message on the screen when I shut the car off this morning that a warning "System Off to Save Battery - Please turn ignition off or start engine". Has anyone seen this or have any idea what might be causing it. Picture attached. Thanks

Hi All, I have had the same issue come up occasionally for the last few months. I finally got around to taking it to a dealer yesterday and they are telling me they have seen it before and the only fix is to replace the shifter assembly. From reading this forum, it sounds like that may only be a temporary fix however since at least one poster has had the issue return. Since my car is out of warranty (42,000), they are telling me it will cost about $400 to fix it... Not a happy face when I heard that. Also need to replace the tires since they are junk already... How can an automatic shifter wear out in just 2 years? Something is fishy here. Obviously a problem with the original part. Has anyone had any luck getting Ford to pick up the cost beyond the warranty period? Thanks, Pete
