2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid battery issues
I have a used 2011 Ford Fusion hybrid that has been having battery issues since February-March-ish. I don't remember exactly. I did not have the means to get it fixed so I bought a charger and jumped the car when it was necessary. It is now at the point where jumping it is required to get the car to do anything and I don't foresee that lasting much longer. The other day I couldn't even manually unlock the power locks with my key, I had to get a locksmith out to open the door, I read theories online of it being the anti-theft feature so now I am wondering which battery could be the issue. I saw elsewhere that last year some 2010 model owners had an issue with the programmed battery age, I don't know if that would be the issue with my 2011 model. But I am wondering if there could be any reasonably cheap way to get this fixed without sinking the price of another used vehicle into this car that I already hate but also desperately need. I am not at all well versed with cars and owning this one has made me never want another hybrid again. Just looking for possible opinions of what the issue could be (which battery) or what fixes I could try to avoid a thousand bucks being spent on a car I would happily watch be crushed into a cube at a junk yard.
