Jason504 Report post Posted September 11, 2015 Hello everyone just bought a 2010 FFH. This is my first hybrid and I am happy as can be with it. So is my wallet. I bought it used from a Ford dealership it only has 38,000 miles on it and it is loaded. Is there anything that I should be aware of or should be doing to keep up maintenance on my new car? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lolder Report post Posted September 11, 2015 Welcome. We're getting a few new used FFH owners now. Read all the manuals cover to cover twice and while parked, push all the buttons. There were a few important software updates in the early years. Check with the Ford dealer you bought it from to ensure they were done. They were:TSB 09-13-9 Speedometer inoperativeTSB 10-15-5 12 v battery resetsCustomer Satisfaction10-B-13 Computer brake failures ( important ! )PCM 10-17-11TSB 11-7-31 They may not all apply to your VIN. If they were done, Ford will have a record of them. They are all short software updates for which there were no charges.Follow the maintenance guidelines and don't do anything extra unless the car tells you there's a problem. Have fun. 3 GrySql, Jason504 and hybridbear reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jason504 Report post Posted September 16, 2015 Glad to hear that. I love it so far ford really has come a long way. I kinda wrote them off from the 80s and 90s. But Ford has really stepped up its game. I find myself trying to get the best gas mileage. Today I hit 40mpg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lolder Report post Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) As the weather gets colder, your mpg will decrease. Don't worry about it. It happens to all cars particularly hybrids. Edited September 16, 2015 by lolder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But Ford has really stepped up its game. I find myself trying to get the best gas mileage. Today I hit 40mpgI'm enjoying the heck out of mine - 4-1/2 months into ownership. I have found that the car computed MPG and that from pump receipts can be somewhat different. I would suggest using the gas receipts to figure MPG for accuracy - and to see how well the computer is compared to that. Unlike my Fiesta, the FFH variance is surprisingly small (like < 1.5 MPG usually). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
