There's also a large felted-fabric type of insulation pad that covers the entire bottom of the battery pack. It's like the material they use to line fender wells. I'm not sure how it would react to undercoating. My 2012 FFE spent 5 winters in Michigan and the undercarriage shows the evidence of...

I have 205/60-16 winter tires on my 2012. I don't remember the exact offset, but the wheels are Ford OEMs that were originally used on some version of a Fusion. I checked the front brake caliper clearance and if a 15" wheel clears it, it can't be by much. Who sells a 195/70-15 winter tire? I...

Add one more to the list. My car was doing fine on Saturday. I didn't drive it on Sunday. Monday morning there was just enough juice in the 12V battery to unlock the car and light up a few lights on the dash, but not enough to energize the relays to move the car. I put it on the 240V EVSE I have...

I'm driving a 2012 that was built in November of 2011 and with moderate weather conditions I still get over 70 miles of range per charge.

When I got my 2012 back in August, it came with two fobs. They aren't identical, though. One fob has buttons for starting, locking, unlocking, trunk release and horn. The other lacks the trunk release button. Could this be a replacement? The reduced content fob is also coded as a "MyKey" with...

Pulling and reinstalling fuse 67 seems to have cured the GPS/compass/calendar issues. Repeatedly running the windows up and down seems to have cured the one-touch issues. Now I guess I'll just wait and see if the 12V battery can stay charged for any length of time. Fun!

I had the 2G/3G modem replacement done a little over a week ago. Four days later the 12V battery was completely dead. Everything work fine Saturday night, then it was completely unresponsive on Monday morning. 24 hours on my old motorcycle trickle charger didn't help, so I called Ford roadside...

I just put on 205/60 R16 Pirelli Ice Zero FR winter tires I got from Tire Rack. The wheels are Ford alloys that I think were OEM on some model of Fusion. According to the math I ran, the 205/60 R16 will be within 0.17" diameter of the stock 225/50 R17 Michelins. The number of revolutions per...

This one has the Ford CPO warranty and was brought up to date on all FSAs and recalls before it was put on sale, if that's worth anything. When I got it home I went over it, inside and out, with a fine toothed comb. I found a lot of sand and gravel in the undercarriage and lower bodywork. The...

When did production begin on the Ford Focus Electric? I bought a Certified Pre-Owned one back in August. It's a 2012 model with a build date on the door pillar label of 11/11. It's five years old now. More info: Color- Ice Storm Interior- Leather Mileage- about 25500 Carfax, AutoCheck and Ford...
