I just wanted to make a followup post for closure. Dealership had to do a hard reset of systems using the ford computer. Still cost me ~100 bucks kinda ticked at that but at least climate control works. Also gave advice of try pulling the secondary battery (lead acid one) for 20-30 minutes if run into it again or if run into it on the road as in WI there are times when you need heat and more importantly defrost to work.

thanks Ill try that tonight, I also tried resetting the MFT through the interface though I always turn off my climate control via I think the soft touch power button i think thats the power dead center in the console panel. Should also state my + and - buttons make no sound too I will let you know how it goes tonight

I feel bad i always end up coming on here when I need help i should really stay around longer, but anyhow... 2014 FFH SE I was driving home from work yesterday and it was reasonable chilly like 31 degrees Fahrenheit (sunny so black interior made it not soo bad). So after the engine came up to temp I decided to turn on the climate control (which is usually left at 68 degress at recommendation of some old post somewhere) i was suprised to hear the blowers roar at max speed out of all vents i look down and see the climate is displayed as being set to 21 degrees WTH thats even out of the range that is normally acceptable (something like 50-60 i thinK) i immediately turn off as its blowing freezing cold air everywhere try a bit further down my 1 hr commute same thing, try adjsuting VIA buttons or touch screen no luck. I wanted to power cycle it but I had all green lights and didn't want to stop. So this morning rolls around i think maybe things will be better after power cycling, let the engine come up to temp and turn on climate control, this time i did it by voice thinking i could cheat around the buttons being weird. And low and behold climate turns on displays 68 degrees and proceeds to go crazy blowing cold air all over the place WTF. So i start trying to adjust temp, which now the buttons make no noise but will "increase" the temperature number if i move it up to HI it will sometimes give me heat a bit and sometimes cold. I tried several times on my drive in. Any thoughts? I read some similar ish behavior with remote start things, but this seemed a bit more different. Just rather ticked as not that far out of warranty and first a wheel bearing now this, quite aggravating to say the least. Specially as in WI se still will likely be getting below freezing temps for a bit yet.

thanks make me feel better :)

Thinking of doing something similar so long as I will have a place to store the winter tires on the rims and just mark their locations and swap em myself. And even if the overall outside diameter is a tad smaller it just means you will be going slower than your speedometer says so not like you will really run into trouble that way.

Forgive the double post but to bring closure or wrap up the case for anyone else reading. Took my car in this morning and it was the "rear sub assembly" in my mind that is the whole block unit around the bearing but not positive what the term was. Came out to be under 300 with diagnosis parts and labor which does not seem awful I think. Hopefully that will be the last of any issue for awhile! I want to see if they can explain how or why or what could have caused it to fail.

no i think thats the energi or EV only

i mena ive been in and out of the building (its so cold outside) trying it a few times im pretty sure ive done slow and fast but maybe Ill give it one more go i think you only have 5 seconds anyhow

Hello! so this is like the third time i found need to use the entry keypad. my FFH has the standard dumb keyfob with the switchblade key not the fancy AI keyfob or whatever. Basically key got locked in car when I got into work this morning, I blame winter glove being clumsy and stuffing stuff in pockets. Anyhow I locked the car door via the push button on the door as I am exiting so thats how it got in there. Now when it comes lunch I run out too my car and realize what has happened, go oh I got the keypad lets jsut unlock it and find my key. Guess what it does not want to work. I only have my user code for key 1 memorized as its based off a date (no im not messing the date up) other thing to note that it is below zero out today with a windchill. I was able to swype down and get the keypad to iluminate, and then punch in my code. YOu should only need five presses right? and the little circle light up on top would blink after each of them but after the fith entry no unlock, try hitting 3-4 to unlock all doors... nothing Quite frustrating any experience or ideas? Rather sooner than later so I can get home (if not I can try get a family member to bring a spare key but its a hour commute)

Don't want to bring up an older topic, but I experienced the same issue on my 2014 FFH over the summer. Same sort of thing could see a stain on the bottom cover, and could see a drip or two of reddish fluid on the bottom of the transmission. took it in they were like yup, we will get the parts and fix it up ~3 days but mine was longer as the mechanic working on mine had a death in the family. Turns out just anybody cant walk into the middle of a torn apart tyranny and put it back together :P Also to note was under the bumper to bumper warranty at this point. has been 6 months and changed my oil again, checked out the transmission no leaks or drips that I could find so far so good!

~45k miles I have an appointment this thursday with a ford garage to check it out. To the others comments it does seem to get louder over time, i thinkI may have noticed it about a month ago when things got colder around here (no its not the exhaust it exist when on electric only too). It sounds like the rythmatic drone of a engine to be honest and kinda reminds me of a airplane engine as in like a old school propeller plane. At this point I'm really thinking its the bearing but am kinda sad because I didn't do anything to my poor car and i have only put 20-30k miles in on it myself (of course occurs after warranty) I hope my daily commute will not harm anything else if it is the bearing going i still need to go a hour each way every day.

Hi, So aside of loving my fusion to bits I now have a small and somewhat aggravating issue. When driving down the road i get sorta a road noise or oscelating rythmatic sound that appears to be coming from my back right tier/ wheel well. it is not like a grinding per se, but is definately noticeable expecially at speeds of 35-50mph anything above that there is enough road noise to sorta cover it up. Also to note that when I make a banking left turn the noise will disappear and then re-appear when i straighten back out. I have checked and made sure all tires are fully filled. I have checked all tires for like a stock rock nail or screw that could be hitting the pavement as the tire rotates and making that sound. Personally I'm afraid its bearing related as i know those are quite costly. Has anyone seen a similar issue or provide input? Thanks for any help!

Oh thanks, witht he 14's had that oh well

My apologies for neglecting this thread, before there was hardly any interest. Anyhow ill update some things. These bulbs do work with the daytime driving lights actually got some comments that they thought I had angel eyes which is cool. Energy savings i do agree is hardly anything, but in my book that's what makes this car what it is a bunch of tiny energy savings If i can help that why not! Comment on the lumens, they are stated at 3,000 each i believe standard halogen are around the 2500 mark, but how much can you trust either manufacturer to be accurate in that regard? meh maybe? But also consider aside of lumens the usefulness of the light, I find the white light to highlight alot more detail at range compared to the stock "yellow" also road signs and fire numbers and anything that's reflective pop like you wouldn't believe (though if you have HID's you know this) there is also the point that you don't need to have suns in your headlight housings that's actually bad for other drivers but lets not get into that. Long story short i would say they are similar to HID's to me its a simpler installation, a longer life solution at a similar price-point that may be not quite as bright as a HID. I only wish there was a good LED HighBeam bulb for me to use that would fit.

Its been a little over 6 months and 10,000 mi in my FFH SE and still every day getting out of work i cant help but think that's a darn nice looking car then i get in to drive home and enjoy the nice comfortable leather seats as i tell the car what music to play and let the sound envelope me. And all that while getting absolutely absurdly good MPG Since breaking out of winter my daily commute jumped from mid to high fortys to 56mpg avg for the past 2-3 months. As others have stated even using the A/C a bit doesn't hurt the returns that much 1-2mpg (tho WI is cooler ish in the sumer) Side note too I find venting the moonroof Plus 2-3 in on back right window create a nice sorta cyclone of air around the driver without adding much noise. All in all far better than the 41mpg i was using to calculate the break even point when deciding to purchase this car
