At gas station today I struck up a convo with an old gentleman who had a 2004 Mustang GT. Without even saying anything to him he said "only issues I've had is with the alternator and battery" I started laughing and told him me too. He popped the hood for me and he had a quick disconnect switch to cut the draw when he doesn't drive it. He said a shop guy told him that if he doesn't drive it enough the battery will drain due to all the electrical demand. I've known this from experience though.
And if you worked for ford, you must know that no one takes their car to ford. The cars that are affected are just out of warranty when they start going bad. I've always used mom and pop shops, but after a few times in a row I thought maybe Ford would finally know something and be able to fix it, that's the only reason I went to ford and never again. They just swept the problem under the rug and sold me the whole under warranty speech, without specifying labor wouldn't be included when the alternator goes bad. They also completely disregarded my plea to put in a 2010 3g alternator and said it was out of spec. At least they gave me a complimentary rental before charging me freaking $900 for a basic alternator exchange. I was stuck at work with no options, I had already had the car towed there and they kept under shooting how much it would cost out the door. When it started going bad again I took it back to Ford, she said I would have to pay over $150 or so just to have them look at it, I drove off knowing I could someone write my paper for me
