Good day, I’m new to this forum so if I should post this somewhere else please let me know.
I just bought a 2022 Ford Edge Titanium from my local dealership, and they did a full inspection and according to them everything came back great, but as soon as I picked up the car and drove it I noticed when I got to my house and shut off the car there was a warning message that came up on the screen that said “Entering power saving mode to save battery, either turn car on or off”, but it wasn’t even that cold outside. After driving it for a couple of days though that message stopped appearing.
I’ve also noticed the auto-start feature isn’t working, no matter if I toggle the switch on and off in the centre console. There’s also a grey auto-start icon on my dash with a line through it (I’ve attached a picture). Unlike the power saving mode message though this feature refuses to enable itself no matter how much I’ve driven the car.
Could this all be related to my battery? Even though they said the battery passed the inspection I’ve had bad luck with dealerships giving me crappy batteries in the past, and I checked with my local mechanic and even he’s thinking it’s related to the battery.
I’m new to newer Edge’s like this (my last Edge was a 2014 SEL) so I’m not even sure what I all have to do when replacing the battery. I heard somewhere that I’ll need to “code” the battery?
