Deep Sleep Mode.

[Minimina08]

My Corsair is in constant deep sleep mode. Had it serviced no issues found. After talking with dealership and Lincoln it seems I don't drive enough? Suggested option is trickle down charger. I don't want a car you have to plug in. I am upset with this issue. Any one have any other suggestions. I feel I should have been told this since I don't put many miles on my vehicle. I love the Corsair, but now what do I do?

2023 Corsair here. Took the car in for its 20k mile service. No problem found with battery or systems even though its been in deep sleep mode 90% of the time since new. They say its not driven enough and blamed my radar detector that is powered by the key On circuit only. They mentioned I can replace the battery (at my charge) with a larger one. The vehicle has never left me stranded but can't say I'm impressed with its slow, under powered electrical systems.

my 2023 corsair shuts down features as the battery is typically only at 60%. The lincoln emblem never shows up at night. The dealer expects me to charge it every night. I drive it every day, but was also told its not driven enough! They told me there is only one battery for the car and have replaced once. Obviously there is something wrong with these batteries in the Corsair and probably other Lincolns. Why should I have to charge my battery. Wasn't informed of that when purchased. The battery drains even more in the winter and goes into battery saver mode so I can't remote start my car.

I'm no help here, but sadly Ford rewards cost cutting with bonus and promotions. There will be no fix unless it's a safety recall forced by the government.

Just the idea a service adviser suggests one using a trickle charger is ridiculous. Who here would buy a 60-100K vehicle if the salesperson told you, Oh by the way the batteries are crap you will need to purchase a trickle charger to keep your battery charged up.

Right! That is what I was told by the service advisor.

I can understand that specific non essential features would be "turned off" with a drop of battery level to a trigger point but clearly something is WRONG. Either the battery is inadequate, the charging system inadequate or the BCM malfunctions OR maybe ALL However none of this should be normal nor acceptable. The fact that my vehicles "problem" did not materialize for almost 2 years tells me it is a condition of eroding functionality and they do not have a fix OR they have one which is too expensive to apply.
