I was driving my car normally one day and the next day the battery was dead; wouldn't turn over. I wouldn't have thought anything about it but recently I've heard about other Ford owner's with battery problems and i'm concerned. Either this is an ignition issue, something drawing on the battery, a bad batter or the relay. Either way, I know batteries last longer than 2 1/2 to 3 years. Throughout the time I've owned my car, I've had small issues starting the car but it always started so I was happy. When it didn't start, I had a problem. I've charge it overnight, and it won't hold a charge; it will start but won't hold the charge. As soon as I turn it off, it reverts back to hard to start. As soon as I give it a little gas, it may or may not start, but it's iffy. I did not buy the extended warranty but this sounds like a manufacturer issue that many people are having.
