After going through an intersection the other day the stop safely now warning came on in my 2014 FFE. I had no acceleration and had to coast to a stop. After resetting the ignition it finally resumed driving with no warning lights whatsoever. My car has 8000 miles on it now. Does the software...

Apparently the fluid was dripping on the sensor from the leaking lid seal. Supposed to be a SIB. The sensor was damaged and has to replaced. Part ordered.

I use the trip info for kWh used between my charging sessions. However, how do you use it the whole month when the kWh used on the trip odometer seems to count backwards when charging?

I saw fluid coming out of the switch and have the brake warning on. I'm at the dealership right now.

I saw brake fluid leaking out of the booster by the pressure switch. At the dealership now. Safety item, so it would be nice if I could get a loan car.

Thanks...appreciate the help. I did run the vehicle health report and went online to see what it said. Yes it gave the grave warnings but did not give a technical troubleshooting code other than make sure the parking brake or brake fluid wasn't the issue. I dont know why it makes you go online...

I have a brake malfunction warning that has been coming on every time I have driven the car since yesterday. Called the dealership, and they said they don't service that many Focus EV's, so had no clue. Any common problems with the braking system on this car. I heard of one guy reporting his...

At about 600 miles, I had a new steering rack installed. Had very little self centerin, that was aaggravated with slight throttle. If you coasted on freeway, steering seemed much more normal. The more throttle the worse. Horrible torque steer. With the new rack it still has moderate...

I would like to take the FFE, but because this is almost 100 miles from my house, I may have to take the LEAF with it's DCQC capabilities.

Interesting how the Focus small overlap crash description says "the drivers survival space was not maintained well." And the dummy's head slid off the airbag and into the pillar area not protected by the side curtain. Not good, but perhaps the LEAF was more severe.

The trunk space on the LEAF is much bigger. I mean, I can fit a good size stroller in the back cargo area of the LEAF. The Focus won't come close to holding it. But that's okay, because I usually take the LEAF on family trips. The Focus is my daily driver to work. Have already taken the Focus...

I do miss having it here, it's a nice looking car. I have the pearl white with newly tinted windows. Well, when I get it back it will be like having a new car all over again!

My car only has 600 miles on it, so the alignment was going to be covered under warranty. I just called the dealership to find out what was going on with my car. My advisor said that my car "definitely has a problem", and that they are going to replace the whole steering column. Parts are on...

I actually drove 25 miles the other morning 1/2 in town, and half on the highway. Averaged 225 wh/mi. But that was a only a test, and not representative of my normal drive. But it seems that 60 miles will be my normal range at around 330wh/mi. At least I am hoping the battery doesn't have...

As stated above, I drove one extensively, and took a video of one of my 0-70mph runs. It is impressive, but obviously doesn't accelerate like lighter, 600-700+HP AMG or M5 on a roll.
