Tom Hancock - Toward the end of 2012 I bought a 2012 Fusion Hybrid specifically for towing behind my Class A motorhome. Unfortunately due to my wife's illness and ultimate death in December 2013, I was not able to use it. However, this year I have started towing and I must admit that the Fusion tows exceptionally well. Unfortunately, Ford has a technical issues which I am trying to get them to admit to which basically allows the starter battery to go dead after about 3 to 4 hours of towing. This requires the need to jump start the vehicle before it is useable.
They have provided several possible resolutions but they support none of them which to me makes the vehicle un-towable unless one is only going on short trips (less than 3 hours). They have not even suggested a line from the RV to the battery to keep the battery charged. I am looking for a factory supported resolution to the problem since the owners manual states that all one has to do is put the car in neutral and the key in accessory position. Nothing else is required per the manual.
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
