Car would not start

[RyanB3239]

It’s funny that my car was built on 08/23 and probably been sitting on some parking lot for 5 months before I took her home.. the car was covered with snow and we have to jumpstart it just to hear the rumble.. ( this thing won’t start) maybe it was freezing and the battery was completely drained.. so the first thing I did when I brought the car home. I hooked up my battery tender trickle charger I left it hooked up for almost 5 days since I can’t use the car anyway, the whole town was covered in snow.. so far I have had no issue on my battery. I just keep it a habit to hook it up once in a while just to keep the battery on top. Charge..

Batteries like that can recover but deep discharging them shortens their life. Don't be surprised if in a year or two you develop battery problems even with the additional care you are giving it..

I know there had been another thread but it lacked any significant updates.

My vehicle failed to start a couple days ago after being driven for about 10 miles. It started fine that morning. Went into the grocery store for 15 min and the no start upon leaving. The below messages presented on the dash.

Ive read a couple threads where Gateway Modules were replaced and maybe one battery when this occurred. Has anyone else experienced this? After just sitting for about 20 min the car started. Put it on a slow charge and the tender light is green after many hours. Will give this a shot but if it happens again it will be going to the dealer. Car has 2500 miles

Maybe this is related?

11. 12/19/23 - 52142 - "Intermittent No Crank/No Start Condition With Various Lost Communication DTCs Stored In Various Modules And Multiple Illuminated Warning Indicators Displayed In The IPC"

Some 2024 Mustang vehicles may exhibit an intermittent no crank/no start condition with various loss of communication diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored in various modules and multiple illuminated warning indicators such as: anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning indicator, parking brake (red) indicator, brake warning indicator, parking brake (yellow) warning indicator and/or parking brake (red) indicator and/or stability-traction control indicator displayed in the instrumental panel cluster (IPC). To correct the condition, reprogram the ABS module using the latest software level of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) diagnostic scan tool. For claiming, use the causal part number 2005 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.

Mine has constant issues, I’ve had to boost it several times, then I turned of all the connectivity access and it doesn’t drain anymore, mind you now I can’t use the app or get recalls or updates anymore but at least it’ll start when I want it to… WTF.

That is the way to go cuz when I got my Dark Horse 2024 and batteries were really fluking! I decided to charge it for two full days and on the third day and on no problems!
