Not exactly! I had my C-Max updated early this week and the regen miles were reset but EV will only work up to 62 mph. Have it rescheduled for next Tuesday to redo.

Right! My 2010 FFH that I traded for a CMax never was low after 10000 miles. I had a bit over 55000 miles on it. My CMax now has 7700+ miles on it and checks right where it did when I checked it when new. However, I am going to run Mobil 1 in it as I have in my other cars for the past 25 years.

Look at this: http://www.fordfusionforum.com/topic/5805-high-voltage-battery-re-conditioning/ Most likely this is whats happening. Normal operation.

I liked the TCH ok but thought the FFH was much better and a lot more refined than the TCH. You need to drive both and make up your mind which you like. Charles

I have had no problems at all with the car since the hvb was replaced. I now have almost 24,000 miles on the car. There had to be some flaw in the original hvb but the car did great until it began to fail. It went from normal to failure in about 1000 miles. I get great mpg around town and also in the low 40s on the freeway during warm weather (not hot weather). Cold weather hurts the milage most. I have kept up with fuel usage with a computer program and my mpg for 23,640 miles is 39.5. My mpg always checks between 1 and 3 less than the car's computer shows but the 39.5 for almost 24000 miles is fine with me. I am very happy with the car, it is much better than the Toyota Camry hybrid I put 50 something thousand miles on and traded fot this FFH. Charles

I had a problem with mine back a few months ago. Here is a link to the post on it. http://www.fordfusionforum.com/index.php?/topic/3665-first-problem/page__p__25345__hl__%2Bhv+%2Bbattery__fromsearch__1#entry25345 Hope your dealer works with you as well as mine did! Charles

From a FFH manual I bought on ebay. When the ACCM receives the A/C demand message, it will engage. Instead of cycling ON and OFF like a traditional A/C compressor, the PCM monitors the evaporator discharge temperature from the HVAC module to raise or lower the electric A/C compressor speed as required. When the HVAC module is OFF or not requiring A/C operation, the electric A/C compressor will be OFF. Charles

I had a few errands to run this morning and then my wife and I went for a little ride in the country this afternoon. Everything seems to be working perfect in the car now so I am ready to say it is fixed. Maybe this won't happen to any of us again. I took a picture of the MPG on our little ride.

The new HVTB came in today and I now have the car back! I picked it up about four this evening and only drove it about 15 miles home but all is well. Where the state of charge gauge would go all the way to the top line and then drop very fast when and if the car would go in EV mode now it is very steady and EV mode seems to be working very well. Part of the work order says "Pinpoint test showed HVTB has an unstable cell. Prior approval paazn removed and replaced HVTB and retested OK." I am very pleased with my Ford dealer and the way they handled this problem. No patch work or trying to fix the old battery but just get a new one and replace it . I sure hope this is the last of this problems. By the way, every thing about the setup was reset to default and all MPG readings was zero. So I am driving my FFH again! Charles

The new battery is on the way! I don't know where it is coming from but it won't be here until Wednesday. It was shipped this last Wednesday so their rush shipment takes a week I guess. I sure hope it fixes the problem. I don't think the battery itself is bad but maybe some of the controls for the battery which are part of the battery assembly. Maybe I will get the car back next Thursday. They loaned me a 2010 Fusion SEL with everything but the Nav. to drive. It is an I4 six speed auto and sure is strange driving after the hybrid.

Yes, but somehow it must have cleared. The second time I hooked my scanguage to it and got a P0B24 code which has to do wtih HV battery voltage unstable. The people at the dealer said they got a bunch of codes the second time including the one I got.

My FFH has 11000 miles on it and the only glitch it has had was the reset at about 2500 miles until about four weeks ago when the wrench light came on. I stopped the car and restarted it and all was well for a couple of weeks when it did it again but this time I had a check engine light after restarting although the car ran fine. I called my Ford dealer and he said to bring it in. When I started it the next morning to carry it to them all lights were off and it ran fine. They could find no codes are any problem so they did do the software upgrade and told me to drive it and see what happened. All was well for over a week until last Friday when the wrench light came on again. When the wrench light is on there is no EV mode at all. The engine even runs all the time when the car is stopped. I just talked with them and they have been on the phone with a Ford engineer checking to find the problem. The engineer wanted to send them some relay and try it to see if that would fix it. The manager told Ford he wanted the car fixed and not to start trying things so the engineer said he would get approval to ship a new HV battery which would replace all the components that had to do with the problem. It should take a couple of hours to get approval and they would rush ship a battery. I will post more when I know more. Charles

Not much help I know but I did the same thing the second week I had mine. I took the hinge off the flap and put some duct tape on it and I can open it and close it now. I have a few cracks in the main part of it. When parts like this become available I will consider buying a new one. Charles
