I have a 07 Mustang GT that is less than 6 month old and it will randomly not start. Acts like a dead battery, tries to turn over and finally just starts clicking. In the past I could get a jump and be fine, or wait a few minutes and it would start, but this morning I used one of those little glovebox battery boosters and it did nothing.
I had it towed to the dealer lot where they have had it for about 11 hours now with no word, but I was wondering if anyone else had heard of similiar issues. The tech showed me a Ford mechanic mailing list talking about lots of other cars with the same issue, and another forum I came across mentioned it as well, but with no information as to a cause. One guy said the computer on the car is designed to drain the battery after a few days to save the KeepAlive Memory, but that makes no sense. If you had a car that you had to spend an hour charging everytime you wanted to drive it, you might as well buy a horse.
Anyways, anyone with similiar issues or info on this?

I highly doubt that is true. That is one of the main specs of a supplier to make sure it does NOT do is drain the battery.
But I personally not have had this problem.
BUT I do recall reading somewhere about the Shaker stereo system doing this. Do you have the SHaker system? If my memory serves me, one way to help is when you get out, to turn the power to the radio system off. But I would still have them fix the problem as I would say this is not acceptable.
