This happened to us today. We'll see if later today they come back. The lines worked leaving home this morning but not when arriving at our destination and backing into a parking space.

I didn't discover the site until a few months after we took delivery of our custom ordered FFH. We took delivery back in early December 2012 and I joined here in late December 2012.

What's an H7 bulb? What's a spring retainer?

I find it rather funny that B25Nut & I posted this at the exact same time this afternoon! I merged the two threads now...

http://www.hybridcars.com/june-2015-dashboard/ The FFH sold less than the C-Max, Sonata, Camry, Prius V, Prius C & Prius Liftback. That's very disappointing.

Road trips. We have driven 12,500 miles in 10 months with the Energi & 10,250 miles in 12 months with the Focus Electric. We drive the Focus just about as much as we can. We don't use the Energi for trips between 20 & 80 miles because on those trips we'd need gas in the Energi but only electricity in the Focus. We do enough road trips and other excursions that are > 80 miles that we've put 12,500 miles on the Energi in 10 months. There has only been 1 month that we didn't have any long trips where we needed gas in the Energi, February. That month we only drove ~350 miles in the Fusion & ~700 miles in the Focus Electric. I reset one of the trip meters monthly in each car & I keep track of our use from the pics. This allows me to see miles, electricity use & gas use on a monthly basis.

That's very impressive! We're barely higher than that in MPGe in the Energi, but we have mostly highway miles using the ICE. We're at around 58-59 MPGe lifetime. Our lifetime gas only MPG is 67 right now according to Fuelly.

Then this is new. Prior years only had HD radio with the Sony radio. The Sony radio is only available on the Titanium.

Looks like it's time for a trip to the dealer. They may need to replace the FCIM.

They don't seem to stock them at dealers anywhere except Cali & other west coast areas, Atlanta (because of the GA tax credit that is going away), Texas & New England. Any dealer that sells the Energi models could order one though. It's really a shame because the Focus Electric is superior to the Leaf in almost every way & costs LESS!!! It really stinks that Ford isn't interested in selling them. My theory is that Ford loses $5k or more on each one they build so they purposely build only enough to meet their CARB requirements and maybe enough to have some credits to sell if needed. They're basically running a test fleet with real world users. I really love the Focus Electric! I think it's the best vehicle I've ever had. I really hope Ford will make an EV version of the Fusion or Taurus with a range of 150-200 miles. The only real complaint we have with the Focus is that it's too small. We often are hauling people (4-5 in the car) and the Focus isn't very comfortable for that. I'd rather have a Focus Energi & a Fusion Electric.

Nice! We're happy that the Energi is paid off now so we're only paying the small Focus lease payment each month. It's allowed us to ramp up the amount of money we put into our emergency savings account as well as having extra money for discretionary spending. My wife has particularly loved that last part so I haven't really gotten to have any extra money for me since we paid off the car in February... :spend:

I think that's just a matter of taking the nav card out of its packaging and installing it.

But you get a car allowance which probably pays for your FFH.

Usually impossible. Sorry.

You can associate the custom door code you programmed with a memory seat setting as well. Excellent summation of possible causes.

I thought it was determined that the Ford warranties all start from 0 miles and the day the car was put into service. For example, our car was purchased by us with about 250 miles on it. That doesn't mean our B2B period goes until 36,250 miles, it still goes only to 36,000 miles. However, it is 36 months from the date of purchase.

You are correct. I can see with Torque that the radiator fan is also running even while driving 65 MPH. Coming home the TFT peaked at 154 F and the coolant was around 188-191 F while using AC.

Titanium trim level.

Why not just test drive a car and test this? Why spend money renting one?

Running the AC makes a noticeable difference in TFT. Yesterday we did a 90 mile one-way highway drive. With temps in the 80s & high humidity we ran the AC the whole way. The ICE coolant was slightly cooler (185-188 vs 191-195 without AC) but the transmission temp stayed about 30 degrees cooler. The TFT only got up to 149 F at its peak. With no AC & closed grille shutters it would get up to 175-180 F in this distance. We still managed 57 MPGe & about 65 MPG if you don't count the electricity used. There was not a noticeable impact on MPGe from running the AC.

We had Sirius during our Cali road trip in winter and we heard the same songs every few hours on a rotation. Sirius also has very few hours of new programming each day. Mostly they just replay the same few DJ shows over and over again.

The AC has a variable speed electric compressor. The FFH has no belts for any accessories. Everything is electric.

Cool. I'd expect a feature like that from a Lexus which likely costs about $10k more than a base FFH. I'm still waiting for the OP (or anyone) to list vehicles that are less expensive than the Fusion that have this feature.

Congrats!! Please post pictures once you get it. It's always fun seeing pics and the FFH is such a beautiful car that I never get tired of looking at it... :camera:

You can try sending a message to username FordService for help. I hope you get it figured out soon.
