Q: Battery Issues
I've had my Ford Fusion 2017 Titanium for a little over a year now. Within the first year of owning my car the battery died. Ford looked over it and said I must've left something on. Here I am going on my 5th Triple A battery jumpstart call. Should I schedule another appointment with Ford or go to another repair shop and get a statement? I do regularly dive my car and I turn off the headlights manually before turning off the car. The rest of the car turns off when I lock the doors (engine off).
My car has 12500 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
