I received a postcard from my local Ford dealer this week saying it was time for scheduled maintenance and I needed an oil change! I actually laughed out loud when I read it.

There were posts from some saying they received SSns due to low 12v battery voltage. Could be your 12v battery is going. A long shot perhaps, but you never know.

I understand about homeowners not understanding how to do this. The item listed seems great. At work we have 4 120v outdoor outlets, each on separate circuits expressly for car charging. On days when other EV owners aren't around (most Fridays), it would be beneficial to have some fast charge...

Why doesn't someone put out a dual 120v charger? Plug into 2 separate 120V outlets and charge equivalent to 240V? Clearly you'd need to be on 2 separate circuits in a normal household (15 amp breakers), but it seems a clever solution. You could even go with a current limiting device to go on a...

Will Blackberry's QNX replace Microsoft in Ford cars? Too bad MS doesn't get its act together. SYNC problems still abound. Even with the latest release I've found bugs - like different outside temperatures on the center console and dash screen...

I bet this will surprise a lot of people. http://green.autoblog.com/2014/01/28/2014-corvette-stingray-meets-tesla-model-s-in-drag-strip-showdow/

I have a 2012 Focus EV. I received a 6 month free Sirius subscription. I also have a 2010 Honda Odyssey with an XM radio. The XM radio in the Odyssey sounds fantastic. The same channels in the Focus/Sirius sound mushy and garbled. Anyone have issues with their Sirius? Anyone know what receiver...

I believe there is a small hole under the trigger mechanism. If a small sturdy lock is placed there, you can't disconnect the handle from the car. If someone really wants to steal your charge cable then this won't really stop them, but it will keep a casual thief away.

I have an interesting issue with the app. Often, not always, the mileage will not update on the charging app. I will start a charge with, say, 38 miles at some percentage. Later, the app shows 99% charged but still at 38 miles. The iPhone app is poorly implemented. Note the flashing pages as it...

A policeman cannot tell you to NOT drive your car. ANY car on the road can fail and stop in the middle of traffic. Stalls happen every single day in traffic. He was out of place telling you that. The California LEMON law is very specific. You should Google what the specifics are. Basically...

My SSN happened after a full work day of charging (120v at work), then driving 18 miles home. I was about 1 mile from home making a left turn when the SSN message popped up. I was able to roll the car halfway up a short driveway into a strip mall. Several offs/ons finally got the car to start...

Turn off the climate control Press the small fan button Turn off the AC This should leave you in a state where the vents are open with almost no impact to mileage. Fan can even be increased.

how about... 3L3CTR1C?

I like NOPEC

When I do this, I Heart plays, but the last played song from iTunes on my phone shows on the screen! I asked a Ford Bluetooth engineer about this at a recent Ford Survey experience. She said the agrements with APple may prevent the proper info getting from the iphone to the car. Apple is very...

When we get the postcards saying to go to the dealer to get updated, does anyone know if we can go to any dealer? :?: :?:

Current stickers are valid until July 2015, but there is a bill in the state senate right now to extend to 2025!

while we're at it... How about a light in the charger storage area? No single touch auto window up/down? Really? Adjustable cup holders Rear hatch release from the inside Charge port inside release

I picked my 2012 FFE lease yesterday at Towne Ford in Redwood City CA. After FORD incentives, the capitalized lease price was about $27,000. This worked out to $299/month at the 12,000 level with leather interior. DOn't forget to apply for the CA incentive!

I just got mine yesterday. I found out that Ford offered a nice incentive to dealers to get the 2012s out the door for leasing. The capitalized lease price was 27000. That works out to $299/month which isn't a whole lot more than I've been spending on gas.
