| Description of the problem | On december 7th 2017, my 2013 my 2013 f-150 started having electrical issues resulting in a dead battery that has not been corrected. Error messages that arise include " battery saver on' and "audio off" indicators and after jumpstarting the vehicle will start with the key in the "on" position and in some cases such as mine, the vehicle will not shift out of 5th gear until the ignition is cycled off and then on again. This vehicle has left me stranded requiring me to find someone to jumpstart it. There are an increasing number of complaints on this year model for the exact same issue with no resolution from ford. |
