I never came back to here to update. We did as well, we removed the Siemens and installed the Blink HQ charger. No problems now.

"Due to a lapse of Federal Government funding, NHTSA is unable process safety defect complaints after close of business September 30, 2013. Consumers can continue to file complaints via this website, but they will not be evaluated by NHTSA staff until funding and services are restored."

The dealer called today and told us they don't know what to do, as of yet. They are waiting for some direction from the Ford corporate engineers.

I can only rely what she told me. There was not enough forward momentum to even leave the lane she was in, she was stopped in just 2 seconds. They had to push the car to the side of the road (the cars stuck behind her got out and helped). I do want to add on the 1st occurrence this was not the...

That is correct. In her last experience she came to an abrupt halt, actually thrown forward. My suspicion is the wheel dynamo's en-gauged fully.

If he is doing this under the Lemon Law, federal law requires Ford to destroy the car.

The first was reported, the second is on my list of to-do for today.

We have just had our 2nd SSN error on the same card (we have two). The first time it was in for repair for 17 days, and they found "nothing wrong". They had decided to replace the main electrical harness. This past Friday it happened again. They took the car today and we have filed the official...

At first glances, this statement does not appear to be true. I have been working on some specific charging/signaling issues in which 3.6.2 alters. The sync updates, especially 3.6.2, have the ability on our electric cars to alter more than just the Microsoft Sync software. Now, my statement may...

FFE MFT 3.5.1 update now available, as of 3/28/2013. Request recall 13A01 from the dealer. Cheers and enjoy. Phil

No. The computer problems is an early model 2013. The "stop safely now" is a late model 2013, so that does not support that conclusion.

There are 4 major networks, the other two networks not mentioned is GE WattStation and SemaCharge. GE you purchase the card on Amazon and then add it to your account. Semacharge directly from their site.

The car, indeed, does not have a cell number. While it is true it is using AT&T for cellular communication, it's communicating the same way a cellular alarm system would with the carrier (like AlarmNet). It uses what is called GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), which is ultra-low speed data...

Update: Dealer still has one of the cars (12 days now?), the one that wen't dead with the "stop safely now" message. They cannot re-create it, but due to our persistence they are continuing to try. My wife is dead-scared of taking the car back without a fix and potentially losing power at the...

On one car yea, and one car no.

Ford service just called and reported back exactly what everyone else is saying, "We can't find anything wrong". We gently explained to them we cannot accept this answer. They are keeping the car for further diagnosis. More to come.

As you stated, no one really "tests" the advanced features of the car when visiting public charging locations, so I am not sure if the issue exists with other chargers besides Siemens. Specifically, what happens is when the car is full, or nearly full any attempt to charge it will produce a...

I most certainly will. Thanks.

Completely stopped moving. No opportunity to get to a safe spot.

There is about to be one more. It's a serious issue, and could lead to injury or death if our cars loose ability to accelerate while already in motion, suddenly with no warning. When this happened to us this morning we were on a highway and in significant harms way until help arrived.
