our 2017 FFH just turned 170K miles and the transmission still drives like new. We have had the car since 2017 and bought it slightly used with very low miles. I unfortunately have not changed the trans fluid (my fault). Should I go ahead and get it changed? Thanks.

11-10-2017 UPDATE I think I may have solved it. 3 weeks ago I was getting frustrated with trip 1 and trip 2 not matching trip distance vs just reading main odometer readings fill up to fill up and DTE being out of whack. I decided to do the nuclear option on this car and fully reset the entire thing. I first started out by driving the car all the way down past 0 DTE. I proceeded to gas station and force fed it 14.3 gallons (Yikes). I drove the car home (5 miles) very very gently and parked in my drive way. I turned off all user accessories and recharged the HVB till it was full on the display. I powered the car off and went to the trunk to look at the 12v battery. To my surprise I found one of the battery terminals to be loose. It was loose enouth that without effort II could pick it up off the post without any effort. I feel that may have been the cause of the reset of the display brightness and maybe the wrench icon. We went ahead and left the 12v battery unplugged and also unplugged the HVB. In total the batteries were unplugged for about 30 minutes. Batteries were reconnected and drove the car in a fashion that I considered conservative lol. I reset trip 1 trip 2 and lifetime MPG. 3 weeks later there have been no wrench lights, no random resets of trip 1 or 2 or display brightness. We have been getting between 540 and 590 miles to the fill up. dash MPG of around 46mpg and calculated mpg of 45. with fill-ups at around 12 to 13 gallons. When full DTE reads in the upper 500's close to 600. (Last week it was 582) We may break into the 600's depending on the cool weather. Thanks for the help guys and check the 12v battery post connecter and make sure they are tight!

Even if the wrench turns off can they still see the code that was thrown?

It was used but not flooded. Per what I have read its almost futile to take it to the dealer if the wrench is not on and visible. It is so random and comes up at the most strangest of times.

I do believe I have the digital speedo on the left and also the 4 corner tire pressure monitor. I'll have to check but I think I do have those.

When we first purchased the car I did reset Trip1 and Trip 2. Trip 1 gets reset at every fill up and Trip 2 will be reset at ???? either oil service time or when it rolls the next 10k miles. If there is a complete and total car reset that you may know of I'd be willing to try that. Thanks.

Actually no I did not, is there a procedure for that? I'd be willing to try it. Thanks.

I know this post is from last December but I love Waze and I'd be willing to convert one of my spare phone line to an android device just for the feature.

The LED fog lights that came with our FFH are great but I think they may be aimed a tab bit too low. The cutoff line appears to be 10-15 feet in front of the bumper. I'd like to adjust them to have the cut off go further, maybe 25-35 feet in front to better cover the area that the headlights don't illuminate. has anyone adjusted the LED fogs and is it as simple as an adjustment screw? Thanks.

Hello, We recently got a new to us 2017 FFH and we love the car but we have experienced some odd behaviors lately. 1st. Over the last 2 weeks we have had a wrench icon randomly appear on the left screen. It does not appear to affect the drivability of the car but it has caused some other strange things. Usually when we turn the car on by the dash button I will see the icon light up, when that happens I notice the ac is off, instrument cluster and 8 inch screen brightness reverts to factory brightness. If I turn the car off and then back on the wrench icon goes away. I'm not sure how it gets replicated to cause the wrench to come on but I'm not sure if I should take the car to the dealer or not as its still under warranty but I have no way to recreate the issue. I have taken photos of when it has happened as proof. 2nd. I have seen and read other older threads about this but our fuel gauge & distance to empty appear to be way off. I read that the DTE goes based on your previous 500 miles worth of driving info and we are 1000 miles in but its still off. As an example, When I filled up a week ago, fuel gauge showed FULL and DTE showed about 320 miles to empty. We drove almost 480 miles and the DTE was 39 miles. When the empty light with 50 miles to E popped on, I drove an additional 50 miles and the DTE only went down to 39 miles to E. when I filled up yesterday for our current tank, again we drove 480 miles with an DTE of 25 and with the full tank DTE is now 315 miles. I figured it would of been closer to 500? Am I missing something here? I am used to the DTE being off by 5 or 10% but not 35-40% considering the same driving conditions, same weather in Sunny Houston Texas.... If anyone has any additional info I would appreciate it. Thanks

There are several items on the display that are missing compared to 2014-15 and 16 models. Seems strange but hopefully other 2017 owners will chime in.

Hello! We just recently purchased a silver 2017 FFH and we love it! Currently our 75% highway/25% city mpg is 44 which is great. We hope to learn much about our car here and how we can best take care of the FFH and get the most out of it. I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions and i'll do my best to search first before I ask. I do currently have a 2 questions that have been bothering me for a bit. 1. On the left screen where the Battery is at, I've noticed pictures online that show an up arrow and down arrow indicating recharging or discharging of the HVB. Since we have had the car I have never seen these arrows and I've been paying attention. The only indicator that shows on the battery is the circular arrows when the regenerative brakes are doing their thing. Anyone with a 2017 now of this? 2. I really like the Power flow display on the main monitor above the radio. When I connect my iPhone and enable Apple Car Play, the Power Flow screen is no longer selectable. I can get out of Car Play to the main Sync page but it is no longer there. The only way to select Power Flow is to unplug the iPhone and get fully out of Car Play. Is there a way around this? Thanks for the help!
