I just got back from the dealer for the second time for the same reason. A DEAD BATTERY. I drove my stang to Virginia Beach came back to Jersey let it sit in the driveway for 2 days and the battery was toast. The TSB for states that a battery tender should only be necessary if the vehicle is underdriven or sits for 30 days! The dealer told me that the computer begins to discharge the battery after the car sits for more that 12 hours. This is a Ford problem, and this should be corrected by Ford. Plugging your battery to a tender every other day is a total pain in the ass!!
