Some Ford Escape owners report experiencing persistent dead battery issues even after replacing the battery, often due to a faulty alternator that prevents proper charging. These owners may also find that their electrical systems have faults, such as parasitic drains, contributing to excessive battery drain. Additionally, a malfunctioning ignition switch can exacerbate battery problems, making it crucial to have this component checked. Regular maintenance and inspections of the battery and electrical system are recommended to catch any underlying issues early. If these problems continue, many owners find it necessary to seek professional assistance from a qualified mechanic or dealership service department to effectively diagnose and resolve the issue.
