I am posting this to see if anyone has had a similar situation occur with Value Charge with their FFE. Ours is a 2015 and this problem has happened three times now in the past few weeks. The symptom is that even though the car is set for Value Charge and the time is before the start time set in Value Charge, it starts charging as soon as the charging connection is made. When this happens, there appears to be no way to correct the problem. You can flip it to 'Charge Now' and back to Value Charge. You can get in a drive around the block, seemingly no matter what you do, it will still start charging immediately when the connector is plugged in.
We mentioned this problem to the dealer week before last and told them I had documented it in a YouTube video, but the dealer (Folsom Lake Ford, Folsom, CA) refused to look at the video and said they could do nothing unless they can duplicate it in their shop. Of course, they could not. It seems to happen in the evening when the car is 1/2 to 7/8 charged. I have never seen it happen when the car has less than 1/4 battery capacity left, which is typical on weekdays. It's the weekends when this is a problem.
Here is a link to my YouTube video documenting the problem: https://youtu.be/HXaZNZtcFiU
