acdii Report post Posted February 7, 2013 Just curious how others are in the cold, Real cold, not that down south need a winter jacket 40* cold, but us tough guys in the north cold. :) After being back in our 2010 today in 7* temps, I was nice and warm with the temp at 72, low speed, second step on the floor position. In the 13 though, I never get warm enough unless I really crank the temp up to 78, and then it takes forever to get warm. I am really wondering if its the cooling system that is screwing with the car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ric Report post Posted February 7, 2013 We have ours at 70 degrees on the automatic setting. The car does not give any heat until it can, about two minutes. That's pretty nice, once it starts blowing it's warm. Keeps the cabin very comfortable. We were driving in minus 7 (-7 degrees) last week. All worked well, except the car did not like the cold for MPG. My Tahoe will get 16 MPG in temps above 50. Lately the cold temps and winter blend gas have it down to 13 MPG. Shows what cold temps and winter gas do to mileage in what ever car you drive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeeCee Report post Posted February 8, 2013 Almost sounds like the thermostat is stuck wide open, --- or not there at all? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iguttcuw Report post Posted February 8, 2013 Climate system and heat. I brought my 2013 Fusion Hybrid to the dealer because my temp guage stays in the " C " range as well as my blue light on the temp guage, comes on even after driving for 45 minutes on a day that was 23 F. They noted it but could not find any problems or a fix. Yes there is heat ,but the engine temp reads cold. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acdii Report post Posted February 10, 2013 There is a fix in the works, may take 2 or 3 years, so just be patient. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MXGOLF Report post Posted March 12, 2013 I can't use my heat because I already get crappy mileage and that would make it worse. Thanks FORD! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
