  1. I am pleased to report that they finished up early this morning and I picked it up a couple hours ago. Same problems as above, same fix. After I dropped it off yesterday, I checked the forum and found the identical symptoms in Kaleido's thread. I copied and pasted it into an email to my original sales guy to forward to service which probably took 2 hours. So by the time they got to it this AM they already knew what to do. They were on the phone advising me of the status by 10 AM and I probably picked it up shortly thereafter. Considering they were up to their ears in scheduled service, they got me out of there fast. Fox Ford in Kentwood is the dealership, Bill Beatty is my sales guy and Paul Christopher was my point of contact in the service dept. Both Bill and Paul did Fox proud and Fox did likewise for Ford. Can't ask for more than that. BTW, Glad you're here too.
  2. Identical problem to me today. In for service now. We'll see what they say. On a side note, I always wanted to be able to have the back up cam operational whenever I choose. Having had it on while driving today, it can be a tad disorienting.
  3. Did you ever find anything on this? I've been on a hard target search for quite a while too and nothing until this the other day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqRhQHlmsTc
  4. I know but I think it was the wrong choice. I actually considered removing them. I don't think the crease is pronounced enough to help me appreciate their intent.
  5. Passenger seat. My wife can't see out of the windows. Needs to be 6 way power. The other thing that drives me nuts is the word hybrid on the door. It looks like it should line up with the door bottom edge rather that tilted up toward the back. I always want to straighten it like a crooked picture.
  6. Got my 2nd check today. The 1st check was on this vehicle http://fordfusionhybridforum.com/topic/7665-that-day-we-all-fear/?do=findComment&comment=67150 so that was a particularly nice treat. The 2nd one was on the 2014 replacement. Going to get some nice toys now.
  7. 14k now and a solid 42. Considering I don't try and I typically ave 75 mph on the xway and 1/2 of that is, it seems fair enough.
  8. This isn't on my wish list, rather this is my wish list.
  9. Now if they'll just fix the damn MFT/Sync stuff I'd be that much happier.
  10. So it looks like it covers both the 13 & 14 model year so I should get two since I have one of each. I got one today maybe another tomorrow:)
  11. I had the 2013 and had the rattle. Dealer fixed it and I think that TSB applied. Now I have a 2014 and have the same noise. Sounds almost like it's coming from the passanger door post or rear door post. It's driving me nuts. The aforementioned link says access denied on my end.
  12. You make a very good point. I haven't seen new software for my Windows ME in a long time.
  13. This might have something to do with the new attention: http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2014304150105
  14. The verdict is in on my end anyway. MPG sucks when it's cold. I glanced down at my dash and the big blank area stood out because I wasn't used to seeing so much nothing where there used to be plant life. I have no major interest in quantifying how much my MPG is affected, but this picture kind of sums it up pretty well. I don't think you can get less than one leaf.

    Yeah, I was bitching about the mileage and it appeared like the car was giving me the finger. Probably just the new personality feature in the '14
  16. From the album: Wallpaper

    Apparently the '14 FFH expresses itself when gets a bit irritable criticized about mileage performance.
  17. Michigan Highway Trip last night Vehicle: 2014 FFH < 1,000 miles Fuel level: Topped off Distance: 125 Exterior Temp: 13 Wind speed: Near 0 Average Speed: 76 Cruse: On Eco: On Interior Temp: 73 (Auto) Road Conditions: Clean / Dry Traffic: Very Lite Tire pressure: Factory default Mileage: 32.4 Disposition: Comfortable Yeah, mileage seemed like it really sucked for the first 1/2 hour, but it seemed to go up after a while. I can't imagine what it's going to do w/ snow yet.
  18. Jeez, this tire pressure issue should be a thread on it's own. I'm on my way to blow mine up now.
  19. Been there.http://fordfusionhybridforum.com/topic/7665-that-day-we-all-fear/?p=67150
  20. I'd be interested in how well that works. Seems like there ought to be something out there that is end-user ready for such repairs by now.
  21. I've gone full circle on this topic and there's little else I can contribute to my experience, but that's not to suggest bad things don't happen to good people. I will be tracking this thread and commiserating with those who have the misfortune of FFH related trauma. In the meantime, having replaced the '13 with an identical '14, I'm noticing some differences http://fordfusionhybridforum.com/topic/7989-ffh-2013-vs-2014-a-casual-comparison/?p=71147.
  22. If I knew I was going to be in this position, I would have kept better track of specific metrics when I had the ’13 so that I could provide an empirical review rather than one based on memory. Since I didn't anticipate owning a '14, all I have are some mushy feelings about what’s the same, improved, or just different, but I am optimistic nothing is worse. In no particular order: EV+ recognized my home and work much much quicker. I thought it took over 300 miles for the ’13 to figure out where I was while the ’14 picked it up both work and home in less than 100 mile.I find that the battery is fully charged quite a bit in the ’14 where as the ’13 never quite made it to a fully charged state.The ’14 engages the EV mode much more frequently at lower speeds that the ’13, but I haven’t been able to notice any difference at higher speeds of 60 or more.The noise dampening / active noise cancelation system is far more effective in the ’14 than the ’13, so much so that I’m not sure it was working at all before.Voice recognition seems significantly improved in ’14. While it’s possible I’m articulating better this year over last, but I doubt it. The improvement seems particularly noticeable in the NAV system.The Blue Tooth connection in the ’14 is very unstable and disconnects randomly. It wasn’t a problem in the ’13.Occasional problems w/ the auto windows one-touch not working properly seems to have been fixed in the '14 (added 12/08)In the category of didn’t change, but should have: The touch controls for HAV and radio / CD player are every bit as sensitive in ’14 as they were in ’13The fast / jump forward in the media player still sucks in both the ’13 and ’14. The fastest advance is 10 seconds. That’s fine for CD’s but when you’re playing a one hour audio track in the USB input is extremely annoying.The front passenger seat still doesn’t go up. Foreword and back, but not up. Unless you’re 6 foot, you want a pillow under your ass.A great number of competitors have dropped the whip antenna in favor of the lower profile shark fin style. Sadly, Ford has not seen fit to follow suit.In the category of did change and shouldn't have: loss of the Lifetime Summary (hybridbear)I will supplement this thread as I find other noteworthy points.
  23. I bought the Nav and have used portable stand alone systems (Gramin, TomTom, Mio), OEM built in systems, car computer integrated systems (Destinator, DeLorme, iGuidance) and to this day I've yet to find anything I like as well as my Android phone w/ Google maps. Maps are up to date as anything else on the market and the speech recognition is faster and more accurate then anything else I've seen. So yeah, I agree with the GPS issue.
