Sold! Someone picked them up and refused to take them for nothing! I did well.

I posted this on the Energi forum but there has been no interest so far. I just swapped my winter tire/wheels from my Fusion Energi. 17 inch wheels including TPMS, lug nuts and training tool (for TPMS on some early cars). Fits 2013 to 2016 Fusions and probably newer ones as well. Originally from Tire Rack. The tires are Michelin X-ice3 with 17,000 miles. I am returning this lease car soon and can't use them on the replacement. I am in Henderson NC and don't want the bother of packing and shipping. To my NC friends, these are great in the mountains and allow the use of true summer tires.

When is a hybrid component not a hybrid component?
PJFW8 replied to rpreuss's topic in Lounge - Fusion Hybrid Talk
Not sure, but I've had to escalate with customer services and Ford executive services a couple of times. Frustrating but ultimately successful. Since Ford began allowing customer service to use this and other forums things have greatly improved. My point is you sometimes need to push. The dealer is not always willing to go to bat for you especially with cars they prefer not to sell or service like the CMax and Fusion hybrid/Energi. -

Except that customers have had trouble having transmissions replaced under the hybrid as opposed to the drivetrain warranty. -

Take them to court and no judge will disagree with you! The warranty may require mediation (haven't looked recently) but that is even easier. Don't be shy! "Unique hybrid component" has a plain meaning and this is unique to a hybrid system. I hear Ford also claims that the transmission is also not unique. Non-sense. I was a lawyer for 36 years and did the last 11 as a circuit court judge. This would be fun. You CAN do this yourself. -

Same here! Finally works well. -
I intend to install the 2011 blind spot mirror glass when the parts are available. Swapped the mirror glass on my '08 Edge with the '09 blind spot mirror. Excellent and easy! Probably will not reconnect the blis light. I like the blis idea, but in practice it is not reliable. If I get an '11 Edge I will avoid this option!

Not to worry. This is a common problem. My car is nearly one year old. It doesn't like urban area medians. My friends with '10 Fusions report the same behavior. There are also similar reports on this forum. This is a glitch which is not an indicator of things to come. Hopefully Ford will have a "fix" soon. It is annoying!
-
Exactly! I had it done. When the car came back it was in a different mode. I think the brake feel is slightly better.
-
My fan checed out ok. (If it's not my car, the truck ahead of me has a problem.) If this happens again I'll follow-up with a post!
-
Thanks ! Blower is working but I'll check today if all speeds work. The smell is consistent with a burned resistor!
-
Blower seems ok. I'll check again. The smell occured about 15 minutes after starting. Lasted just a few minutes.
-
Last Sunday I had a similar smell in my FFH: an acrid burnt electric smell. It went away and everything seems ok. Blower fan is normal. This is spooky!
-
I have front annd rear mats for my FFH. They fit well! Said '09 on the shipping slip.

Has anyone checked the practicality of adapting the Milan LED tail lights?
