  1. 2013 Hybrid with 98k. It blows out warm air only on HI setting. This is the same in electric or gas mode. If I lower the temperature to 85 or below, the temperature of the air coming out is drastically cooler. Any suggestions? Thank you
  2. Hi all, I'm new to the forum. I bought a 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid 6 days ago. First of all, I filled the tank for the first time today. It had 22 miles to empty, so I figured it would need about 13.5 gallons, since it's a 14 gallon tank right? The gas pump wouldn't let me put more than 10 gallons in. Is it a 10 gallon tank or 14? After I put the gas in the fuel gauge showed that the tank was full to the brim. It showed 466 miles to empty. Is that average? Second of all, I drove 111 miles of highway tonight and the car said I was doing 40mpg average, however the fuel gauge went from full to half empty. (I did not reset the mpg average before the 111 mile drive, but it read 43 mpg avg beforehand). Anyway at the beginning of my drive it said 441 to empty, when I arrived it was 293 to empty. That's 148 miles of fuel for a 111 mile drive. Why can I only put 10 gallons in my car? Why does it show 40mpg average when it appears that I used 7 gallons (half a tank) for 111 miles? Am I missing something?
  3. I just thought I'd elaborate on this subject since a couple of us have had these Dash Display Warnings in very different weather conditions. Hybridbear's instance was in very cold, ice and snow and mine was in fair weather. I tried resetting mine with the FFH's little funnel that is included and carried under the mat in the trunk. The procedure is in the FFH Owner's manual. The Warning did not reset at that time, now I know why. I'll get to that in a minute. When these 'Warnings' occur I use the center console's SYNC system to generate a Vehicle Health Report. Then I upload that VHR from the car to the Syncmyride.com website where I had previously registered my car when I first took possession. This is a good thing to do whenever an Alert or Warning is displayed on your Dash Display and, especially as any Warning may be transient, you will have a record of the occurrence. If you are driving, just pull over, park with the car running and do it. Back to re-setting the Fill Inlet. My clearing with the funnel did not seem to work, today I looked at the VHR on Syncmyride.com. The VHR had the Warning listed and explained that the warning may not reset right away, see below. I've underlined the related reset info and the exact text from the Syncmyride website. - UrgentCheck Fuel Fill Inlet What Should I Do? At the next opportunity, safely pull off the road, turn off the engine, open the fuel filler door and remove any visible debris from the fuel fill opening. Insert either the fuel fill nozzle or the fuel fill funnel (see Refilling With a Portable Fuel Container in your Owner's Manual for funnel location) provided with the vehicle several times to dislodge any debris and/or allow the inlet to close properly. If this action corrects the problem, the Check Fuel Fill inlet message may not reset immediately. It may take several driving cycles for the Check Fuel Fill Inlet message to turn off. A driving cycle consists of an engine start-up (after four or more hours with the engine off) followed by city/highway driving. Continuing to drive with the Check Fuel Fill Inlet message on may cause the service engine soon lamp to turn on as well. - I can't know for certain, but after finding this out about one type incident, the reset time required may pertain to others. Taking the time to get a VHR for future reference could help any of us who experience these 'teething' problems with this new generation of technology in our cars. Edit: It's best to email the report to yourself or print out each VHR, the Syncmyride website only keeps the last one that was reported. Hopefully you never need to do this
  4. So I wanted to make sure the car was all full for the commute next week. Tomorrow will mark my "real world" driving condition: piss poor traffic conditions, 30 minutes to an hour wasted in the morning to go 19 miles, piss poor road conditions, piss poor infrastructure in downtown Seattle...and then a reverse of what I just mentioned, on the way home. My understanding is that the tank is 14 gallons. Either that's incorrect or the fuel gauge isn't reading the capacity properly, or maybe not calibrated, because though the indicator was just above the halfway mark, the car only took 3 gallons in, and is now showing full. That's not what I expected to happen. I even checked the pump a couple of times to make sure it wasn't a premature stop, but when the car started up, sure enough the gauge is just over full. Are others seeing the same type of behavior? Where the amount you fill up doesn't seem to track with the fuel indicator? Is it possible the Fusion's reserve amount is higher than other cars?
  5. The discussion on fuel mileage and types of 'gas' we use has finally made me want to know more about what we pump into our cars at the fueling station. Not being a chemist, math expert or engineer I need it explained in plain language. This article does a pretty good job explaining what goes in the tank, and why. http://eprinc.org/?p=300
