I have been doing a lot of research on tires since the OE suck for traction, even with a little rain. I just purchased a set of Nokian WR G3 All-Weather tires at Discount. They have to order them but supposedly they work well in all weather. There is a true difference in all-weather and...

We also have a GE Wattstation. We had to replace it but I think that was more of the fault of the car we were plugging into it rather than the charger. The replacement has been working great for years.

Thank you for the reply. I drove it this morning after just a very light drizzle and it broke loose when I took off and then when I was trying to change lanes. I don't like the way it drives but I'm not the one who will be driving it daily. My wife hates it and I think probably more than I...

So I see this is a pretty old topic but I am interested in any results. We recently bought a used 2013 FFE and hate the tires. Since this is a 5 year old vehicle with about 30K miles there is already some battery loss and I don't really want to add to the lost range by changing to the wrong...

My wife has our Focus set at 85° every morning and 99% of the time the car is nice and warm when she gets in it. This morning she came back in the house and asked me which OTHER car she could take because she was worried that by the time she used the heat to warm/thaw the car she couldn't make...

I called them back last night to tell them that when I jumped the car and drove it to the dealer the drive batter was 100%. I don't see how it could have charged that battery and not the 12v, at least from a charger standpoint. It seems to me that would have had to be something internal. Oh...

So they still have the car. They've been in contact with Ford Engineering running some tests. They've asked about whether I had the car in park, whether there was anything plugged into the USB port or any of the charging ports. I think I made a mistake by telling them that we have a GE...

Update... so the dealer told me to call Ford Roadside Assistance. After explaining the problem they said I had an option to jump the vehicle or have it towed to the dealer. So I went for the "jump" option. I hooked my battery charger up to it and set it for a 50 amp start mode. I got in the...

Well, it appears that you are correct. I hooked my battery charger up to it and it immediately started acting differently. The ring around the charge point came on and some of the lights on the dash came on. Now it wouldn't "start" the car but that may be due to the low voltage. There was a...

We had the software update done last Monday. Everything had been working fine. We've been enjoying some of the new features like the regen activating when you remove your foot from the accelerator pedal and having the OAT shown on the center screen now. We drove the car on Saturday and...

I like the door, but now it's sticking. It pretty much doesn't open or close without help. What would the best lube be for the plastic "hinge"?

That's pretty scary. Has anyone had a problem at higher speeds. That might just be a dangerous experience. I've been invited to talk with Ford next week so I may have to ask about that and the steering locking.

Is it possible that since it feels it can't get the car fully charged in that period of time that it just ignores it. Since it know the time it will be finished it would be simple for it to figure it can't do it and deny it. Now I don't think the software should be dictating when to charge but...

For anyone interested... I went out and unplugged my iPod from the car and about 2 days later things were back to normal. Coincidence... I don't know!

So my wife and I share the Focus and I logged on to myfordmobile to update the Go Times and it tells me that it hasn't udated the information for 2 days and 1 hour. When i click on the Update button by the battery it comes up and says "Unable to contact vehicle." Has anyone else had this...
