    Reboot SYNC? (no channel number showing in the 6 text boxes)

    Hi, from two days ago, the 6 text boxes showing pre-set radio channel number (in home page) stopped displaying the numbers. I was thinking to reboot SYNC (you know, the first step of troubleshooting for Windows is to reboot the computer). Is there a way to do that? Or did you have the same...

    Does 2012 FFE have one-touch up / down windows?

    I just tried couple times to press down completely very quickly but it still doesn't work. :?

    Does 2012 FFE have one-touch up / down windows?

    There are two detents but when press/pull to the second detent, I still need to to hold the switch to get windows down/up (it stops when I release). I thought it is a very basic function and was wondering whether mine has some issues. Thanks.

    Humming sound when starting the car (even not plugin)

    dwf123, 80 miles? I thought I already commute a lot of miles...... :) Bad news today. The facility manager doesn't allow me to plug into one of the outlets in garage (underground). She said it is safety issue. For the winter time, I am ok but will see how it works in summer when I must...

    Humming sound when starting the car (even not plugin)

    BTW, to get the "current" kw/hour, I need to keep reset the "trip". Otherwise, it will be the "average" kw/hour. Right? Thanks.

    Humming sound when starting the car (even not plugin)

    Today is my first day to drive my FE to work. I turned off A/C and managed to take local streets as many as possible. On the highway, if there was no traffic, I tried to keep the speed around 63 mph. In the end when I got home, I still have 20 miles range on the dashboard. Very happy about...

    Humming sound when starting the car (even not plugin)

    So "full charge" is about 85% of battery capacity. Then the budgeted 66 miles showing on the dashboard makes sense (= 85% of EPA 76 miles). Hope I can get 10% more so I am more confident to commute every day. I finally got my 90 days permit today and can start to enjoy the car / try all gauge...

    Humming sound when starting the car (even not plugin)

    I already have Schneider L2 charger installed at my home. So all I need to worry is to find a way to charge at work. To set the heater to 68 degrees before turning off the car is a very good idea. I was just thinking how to make my schedule normal to fit "Go time" settings. With this trick...

    Humming sound when starting the car (even not plugin)

    Hi dwf123, Thanks for detail replies. #1 So the noises are not the "problems" if the car still can run. :) #2 I live in Phoenix so summer should affect the car more than winter. However, in these few days, the temp dropped to around 32F in the morning. I am still waiting the paper work to...

    Hi, I just got my 2012 FE yesterday. How can I know whether this TSB has been taken care of on my car? Thank you.

    Humming sound when starting the car (even not plugin)

    Hi all, I got my 2012 FE yesterday and was very impressed on the quality of the car. :) I haven't driven it too much but have two questions for now. 1. When I start the car, I can hear the humming sound from hood. I remember when I test drive a 2013 FE, I didn't hear that sound. Is it...

    Charging at any Ford dealership?

    Thank you for the reply. FFE is new in my state. So most dealerships have no EV certification and have no idea about the car, how the system works....etc. I guess I need to try few EV dealerships and see how they react.

    Things new onwer should know?

    Thank you all. I am glad I join this family and can't wait to drive this car. :) Yes, I definitely wanted to know about efficient driving since I need to commute long distance (60 miles round trip). Since I have solar system at home, it is better not to charge the car anywhere else. Step on...

    Hi, can we charge our FFE at any Ford dealership like the service Nissan provides to LEAF owners? Thank you.

    Things new onwer should know?

    Hi, I just leased a 2012 FFE and expect it to be shipped next week. Since I get the car from out-of-state, I won't have SA to go through the car with me. So I was wondering what things I should know as a new owner (never own an electric car before). Thank you.

    2013 FFE lease

    PM me if you are in the market for FFE. After dealing with 7 dealerships in CA, AZ, and NY, I finally found this SA. I had a very good experience with him and placed an order in 2 hours with only email/phone communication.
