  1. :thumbsup: I replaced both of my tail lights to the Titanium ones and I like them way better. I had the dealer do it for me however.
  2. I have never heard of that brand at all??????? There is a lot of crap on Amazon. Buyer beware. I would get the PIAA ones instead they are very reputable.
  3. Has anybody changed there stock driving/fog light bulbs to the LED ones? It's a H11 bulb type! The LED ones are different and before I spend $100 I want to know if they will even fit and work. Thanks for your help on this.
  4. ;(Yes I have the same problem with my 2013 FFH. I mentioned it a year after I had the car and the dealer tried to fix it but couldn't. I notice it when I have the stereo cranking. It's kind of annoying like the sunglass holder squeaking.
  5. I did the same lower plastic/fake chrome to my 2013 and love it. I have the fog lights so there is two pieces per side. Around $40 delivered nice. Very easy to install. Highly recommended.
  6. It's all about the bottom line and money. The world revolves around money. Kind of sad for us but that will make all our Fusions more valuable right! They will be collector items. I don't want or need a SUV!
  7. Well the only way I could get better mileage was to use non-ethanol gasoline. It's more expensive but here in Oregon the ethanol gas is terrible for gas mileage. ????? Wonder why the feds make us use it????? I went from 38 mpg/tank to 42-46 depending on the weather. Hybrids don't like cold wet weather and that's what we get in Oregon a lot. It did take me until 10,000 miles to really start working properly even with the non-ethanol gas.
  8. Ice Storm is the best color. :love_shower:

    Poor MPG

    It does look like the ones with good mileage are in warmer, flatter climates. The gas does make a difference also. Crappy gas won't help get good mileage. 13,000 miles and mine is at 37 lifetime. Bad gas, colder weather and hills in Oregon are part of the problem. I have been putting in non ethanol gas in for the last 10 tanks and it has helped somewhat. Got a few tanks between 43 and 44 mpg. Still not what I had envisioned when I purchased and people are getting 50+ mpg.
  10. Nobody answered how you reset the lifetime mileage? I thought you had to unplug the main battery? I have not reset mine at all either. Just turned 10,000 miles last week.
  11. I like looks great. Thanks for the photos.
  12. My lemon is still a lemon. I did get 38.7 on my last tank. :yahoo: Not really funny though. Should have given the car back to Ford a long time ago.

    Ethanol Free

    Ok 4 full tanks of ethanol free and 1 maybe 2 mpg better. Getting 36 mpg now sweet! :( Not. Would love to have ford take this car back but that won't happen. Would have to trade her in and lose my *** on it.
  14. I have been following your problems and I hope your new snow queen works out better than blacky. I am really thinking I would not buy another ford personally. I can't afford to trade mine in on another new one and the fact I am still only getting 35 mpg even using non ethanol gasoline is super frustrating. I would love to get a new car but it would not be a ford. This is my first ford since my first vehicle a 64 ford shortbed truck back in high school some 40 years ago. I appreciate all your suggestions concerning my lemon hybridbear very much.

    Ethanol Free

    Well I am trying the e-free gas on my last tank and the current one I just filled up with last week. I don't see much of a difference. Could be due to purchasing a lemon and not a real car! LOL It's really not funny. My dealer said it should be good for 3-5 mpg better but I have yet to see it. Not sure what to do now except get rid of the car. LOL Probably won't do that though. Sure tempting as 35 mpg is not near 47.
  16. My Sunglass holder is rattling now. I only have a week until I've had my car a year for the warranty work. :(
  17. Hi Ashley, Is Ford planning on doing anything about or compensating any of us FFH owners who's cars are under performing badly? I have had my car just about a year now and am only getting 35 mpg! I got a lemon and Ford won't admit it. My dealer says it's the gas in Oregon. Also when I purchased the car they said nothing about all the things that effect hybrids. For instance using the heater, defrost, AC ect. as this greatly effects our mileage. Good Luck with this can of worms. :) Thanks,
  18. Cold weather here in Oregon too. In the Teens at night and upper 20's during the day. My mileage is worse also. I am working on a non-ethanol tank of gas too. This tank is down to 34.7 mpg about 1/2 way through. My trips are mostly short to work and the store, stuff like that.
  19. The weather has been super cold the past two weeks and my mileage has gotten worse. I even am working on a tank of ethanol free gas too. :( 34.7 mpg on this tank. Frustrated to say the least.
  20. Good for you as you got a good one. I got a lemon at 35 mpg lifetime. :(
  21. talking to my service guy its the ethanol gas here that's the main problem. Oregon is one of the worst states for ethanol added gas. bad normal then worst in the winter with more added. I am going to try a few tanks of non-ethanol next. ford would not even look at my plugs because the computer did not throw a code. weak. 7500 miles and no change in mileage.
  22. After a few months with the upgrade still no major change with my mileage. I drive like a grandma, no speeding and still only 35-37 mpg. Lame. I did get a lemon and am very upset still. I shouldn't be but 10-12 mpg difference when lots or most are getting EPA :censored: . Just updating my frustration with Ford.
  23. Thanks GrySql, I will check my plugs this weekend. Still need to make an appointment to have a few things done.
  24. Very interesting observations on the 100% reset. I kind of think we are going to get what we get and there is not much we can do about it. I am in the worst tank since I bought my car. 34 mpg on this tank. How do you get to the spark plugs? I was checking it out the other day and you must have to take all the plastic crap off the top of the motor to even see the plugs. I was going to do it myself but have decided to have the dealer do it if they will on there dime. I need to have the fuel module replaced so maybe they can do the plugs and reset at the same time.
  25. My main big battery does not hold a charge. It can be almost fully charged at night and the next morning its way low. Bad battery possibly? It seems when I am in EV mode it drains pretty rapidly but I don't have anything to compare it to.
