I've had my truck since late December '20, so it is a Job 1 '21. I had not had any issues with the battery until March of '22. My OTA update was failing and Ford told me that the battery didn't have enough charge. Ultimately Ford sent an engineer to my local dealership, updated all the software and said the battery wasn't an issue. They claimed that instead it was a software bug incorrectly reporting the battery as bad.
Fast forward to last Friday - my wife goes to drive the truck and it won't unlock for her. The battery was completely dead. I jumped, drove it around, but the next morning it was dead again. I then had it towed to the dealership. They confirmed that the battery was completely dead and ordered a new one. Yesterday they installed a new one. They also told me that they updated all the software, which doesn't make sense to me since my software was already up to date. I go to pick up the truck from the dealership this morning and surprise, surprise - the brand new battery is already dead!
Dealership is now working to try and find what is causing the battery to drain...
