Is there a recall for battery drainage on the 2017 Ford Fusion?

  I purchased my 2017 car in December 2017. Since then, I have experienced nine instances where the car wouldn't start despite the dealership replacing the battery several times, along with multiple modules and the alternator. This morning, I found my car dead once more. It's frustrating that Ford is aware of the ongoing issues with the 2017 Fusion yet hasn't taken any steps to address them. If there was a way to give this vehicle a rating lower than zero, I would do so!

  I'm dealing with the exact same issue right now... three batteries, oh my goodness!

  I am experiencing the same issue and the dealer is unable to solve it.

  Purchased a brand new Fusion in 2017. The battery lasted for 5 years and 2 months before needing to be replaced. I have already gone through two replacements. The new batteries drain quickly but can be recharged with a charger. The alternator indicates a rise in voltage while the car is running. These batteries typically last between 2 to 3 weeks.

  Here's a rephrased version: I purchased a brand new 2017 Fusion Sport, and experienced my first instance of a dead battery at around 1,000 miles. Unfortunately, this issue has persisted since then.

  I've had to change the battery in my 2017 Ford Fusion four times already, but I still haven't received any explanations on what's causing the issue.

  I bought a 2017 Ford Fusion at Lindsay Ford on 2/19/22 with an odometer reading of 42723 miles. I returned on 8/6/22 for an oil change and service check when the odometer was around 46000 miles. During the multi-point inspection, it was found that my battery passed the performance test with no need for recommendations. However, on 8/15/22, after driving locally for just a week, my car wouldn't start properly even with a jumpstart. I had to have it towed back to the dealership. The battery currently in the car is from 2021, as indicated by the date on it. The technician advised me to buy a new battery to start troubleshooting for any possible drainage issues. They would conduct further tests to identify the problem, though the alternator is confirmed to be working fine. Unfortunately, these repairs are not covered by the extended warranty. The initial estimate for the new battery and testing is $500.

  Recently, I heard from a mechanic who specializes in working on Ford trucks that there is a recurring issue with certain Ford trucks, leading to a recall for necessary repairs. The mechanic mentioned that the fix involves reprogramming the remote control. Considering this issue with Ford trucks, it seems plausible that the same problem could potentially occur with cars too. I personally experienced this issue firsthand with my 2018 Ford Fusion, where the battery died twice despite being confirmed as working fine.

  I owned a 2017 Ford Fusion that experienced a recurring issue. Purchased new in 2017, I had to replace the "faulty battery" in 2019 and now once more in 2021. This has never happened with any other vehicle I've owned, nor did my parents experience similar issues. I've noticed many others reporting electrical problems with this model. Despite this, Ford has not taken any action to address these concerns.

  There have been reports of the 2017 Ford Fusion's battery losing charge quickly and needing frequent replacement, but no official recalls have been issued regarding this matter.
