I've been getting a remote features disabled to preserve battery message basically since I got my truck. I at first contributed this to my parking space being very close to my office. It's gotten worse since I started using public transit to commute to work. At this point, I'm thinking my truck was produced with a bad battery, has anyone else experienced this?

 

What powertrain do you have?

 

2.7L 2x4 XLT.

 

I think that you are experiencing a low voltage issue. Battery probably needs charging or replacement. The new trucks are very sensitive to voltage.

 

Welcome to the club. Just take a quick glance at the previous topics and you will find more on this than you want. What I’ve determined is batteries from Ford (oem and warranty replacements) are garbage. I’ve had one replaced on a ‘22 and the problem returned within a few mos. Haven’t gotten around to it yet, but I’m gonna buy a battery that doesn’t have ford on it and see if it’s any better. I’m not in a big rush as I’ve never had any issues starting the truck when I get to it. In any case, it is b.s. that ford charges for a function (remote start etc) that doesn’t always work and they full-well know it.

 

If usage is infrequent, or covers very short distances, the alternator cannot replenish the battery sufficiently after each start.

 

Noted.

I get this message after driving 65 miles (about an hour) to the airport, about every 4 days. And the same when I drive home. I don’t buy this explanation.

 

Tell us what explanation you will buy, then you can be happy that you heard your opinion coming out of our mouths.

 

that’s a weird response. But if you’re not an English speaker, ok, I’ll work with you. FORD BATTERIES BAD. FORD BATTERY NO GOOD. FORD BATTERY KAPUT. Or maybe you missed my point.

 

“Our mouths”? 😂😂😂
