I have a front wheel drive escape plugin. I do not get power to all 4 wheels. The Ford service guy told me to run the warmup cycle during charging to get power to the 12-volt battery during the charging. This shuts the battery saver notification down and turns the interior light on when I open the door, but it is effective for only one day. The alternative, he said, was to buy a charger. Other forums offer a larger battery as a fix. Comments about that idea bring concern about voiding the warranty.

I have the same problems. In another forum someone is suggesting a battery with larger capacity as a fix. The same guy worries about voiding the warranty if he does it. I was told by my Ford service department to buy a battery charger. I guess that makes it my problem and not Ford's.

I have the same kind of problem with the same model. I was told the 12-volt battery is low. I was advised to drive the car with the engine to charge the battery or to buy a battery charger. Seems the battery needs to have more capacity and ford has no fix.
