Dead battery again; this is a major concern on this particular fleet car that we have. Dealer had car towed in. I told them to check the connections. This seems to be a concern of other 2020 Ford Fusion owners as well, after researching. We need this vehicle in our fleet and we cannot have this keep happening. No dealer paperwork yet as the problem has not yet been resolved; car still at the dealer.
(same fleet vehicle from before) Electrical system concern again; battery issue. Battery was already replaced on 2/02/21. Dealer had to replace battery again.
Battery drains very quickly and needs to be jump-started repeatedly, which has risks to safety and equipment. A new battery was installed earlier this month and it has already drained also. This is a fleet vehicle.

I shut off my car and turned it back on and it is still not working had to hard reset the system car also shifts hard in and out of park and reverse, makes a clunking sound and shifts hard in first and second
The touchscreen display is not working. It turned completely black. I can change the volume using the dials, but I cannot change the radio station. It also will not show my back up camera. I shut off my car and turned it back on and it is still not working
The contact owns a 2020 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the backup camera remained on while driving at an unknown speed.
