Don’t you just love when a part fails right after warranty expires? Yeah, that’s what happened to me. Battery in the Fusion took a dump couple days ago. I had a 36 month free replacement. It failed exactly after 38 months, almost to date
I buy my batteries at Costco, as they seem to be lowest priced and have longest free replacement warranty. Almost long enough for me. My battery lasted 38 months, and just over 65,000 miles.

New next to old

I’m so embarrassed for such a filthy engine bay. I gotta power wash it!

That battery is the cleanest thing in here

On related note, the battery in wife’s pilot failed at 20 months and just over 40,000 miles. Got a new one for free, no questions asked.
This is what kills batteries in Arizona

Ha!!! The last 48 hours have had nicer weather in the Midwest than what you have had for the last 6 months, take that!
:joy: Well I’m gonna go ahead and disagree there. We have it pretty good from October through April.
Wait.. people clean their engine bays..
