    2017 FFE...no more allocation for 2017

    I saw a few posts yesterday related to not being able to order a '17FFE as as of May 12th...seems the entire production has been allocated already. I have been trying to "order" one since December and was told last week that my region (Great Lakes) had no allocation so far this year and that a...

    Michelin OEM tires...anyone ever got a pro-rated refund?

    I have 20k miles on '16FFE and tires are bold (did a rotation at 10k) Anyhow my tire guy (not the dealer) claims Michelin is pretty good at "refunding" some of the cost if buying a new set...he puts the odds at 50%. Since I am going to spend over $200 per tire (same as original) installed I...

    2016 FFE for Sale 20k miles/ Pittsburgh, PA Area

    I was waiting for my '17FFE and trade my '16FFE but Tesla showed up at my door with my Tesla X (ordered a year ago) and they are not very good at handling and valuing trade-ins and I am running out of room. Anyhow 2016 FFE Platinum White with Leather 20k miles, bought in Jan 2016....I am still...

    FFE ...is it on the rebound? 407 sold in March!

    woah ...used to be 100 per month typically..and I thought it was production constrained not lack of demand. http://insideevs.com/march-ev-sales-2nd-best-month-ever-in-us-momentum-now-unstoppable/ But the biggest surprise of the month was definitely the Ford Focus Electric! After 60 months in...

    2017 FFE let's get some real data here.

    I noticed two unrelated threads discussing the 2017 FFE but having a hard time to find real data so I'd like to have a thread that "focuses" solely on the 2017 FFE rather than new '17 owners revisiting topics related to earlier models. I have a 2017 on order and considering trading my 2016...

    How about battery replacement/upgrade solutions

    Members have made claims over time about existing or maybe upcoming ways to replace or upgrade the battery on our 2012-2016 FFEs To me being assured that solution will be available would go a long way in how I see my 2016 FFE and whether to move on to better things like a 2017 FFE or a Bolt...

    My old '14 FFE near Rochester?...I still see it on my app!

    It's been 16 months since I had my '14FFE at dealer and then Ford took it back due to various delays in being able to fix it. Anyhow until last month it sat on an auction lot a few miles from me and i was curious. Now I see it being active and I keep getting charge notifications and other stuff...

    After 8 months at shop finally got a new 2016...down to 15k

    Well I would not believe I would ever see my 2014 FFE case resolved an in my case it took 8 months: 2014 FFE at shop May 2014 (11 month old , 11000 miles)...motor had dropped and damaged front end and AC lines. After a month of "inaction" due to various reasons such as parts being back-ordered...

    2016 FFE delivery ETA?

    My dealer put an order for a 2016 FFE today the first day orders were taken according to him. This is to replace my 2014 that is being bought back by Ford and the plan was that the swap was going to happen within a 45 day window. Ford however claims that it will take at least 90 days to get...

    Got 45 days to trade 2014 Lemon: what to buy from Ford?

    Got a letter from BBB Autoline (the one you are supposed to use to resolve Lemon issues if not from CA) regarding my 2014 FFE at the shop now for 4+ months. Anyhow Ford is offering me to trade into ANY ford vehicle as a way to resolve the issue (not being able to fix the car) The way it is...

    100 days at the shop; what a joke!

    Well this is day 100 at the dealer for my 2104 FFE which had only 10 months and 11000miles at the time. Engine bolt broke off and creating some damage to the CV front drive and AC lines. I did not think this would be hard to fix. Of course I contacted Ford Customer after day 30 to voice my...

    Not sure there are alternatives to FFE in PA/OH..why so few?

    I was looking at alternatives to my FFE (pure electric/4-door) and was shocked: Golf, Fiat, Mercedes B series NOT even available in PA. Basically that leaves me with BMW i3 or LEAF ...BMW is way overpriced and not true 4 door and LEAF is older technology. That is crazy, Ford should be...

    2014 FFE motor "Fell Off"; At dealer for over 30 days

    My car was towed to the local dealer 31 days ago as one of the bolts holding the motor sheared off...broke the front drive CV as well. Pretty scary experience as the shifter went from D to R by itself. Luckily I was in driveway. They immediately accused me of having run into a ditch but there...

    Rear Discs Surface is rough...9000miles

    Ok as I was having the tires rotated I had the service guy look at the rear discs as they felt very rough to the touch. Anyhow the guy told me the brake pads are fine and it looks more like the rear brakes have not been used in a long time and the discs might be "rusted". As I am now trying to...

    9000 miles and front tires almost worn off!

    9000 miles and I might have to buy new front tires? I have been less than impressed with the traction on my 2014 FFE in that the front tires keep slipping every time I accelerate from a dead stop...been doing this since new 8 months ago. Anyhow I measured 5/32 on front tires and 10/32 on back...

    A/C not working at all

    I only have 2000 miles on my FFE but I have no AC working as of today...Just before that my car was charging in the sun (80F) and some kind of fan or cooling was going in the engine compartment for a long time. After that I started driving and that noise went away but later I noticed I had no...

    Error with computing Wh/mi and energy used

    For a while I have been convinced there are errors in the displaying of Wh/mi and Energy consumed shown under Trip1/2 As a background I typically run 300wh/mi on my regular trips (using Trip1 and resetting it every trip), BUT then I see Trip2 (1000 miles) with an average of 250wh/mi which DOES...

    Polling FFE owners for real data.

    I am not sure if this forum has the capability to do Polls; I belong to other forums where it is possible to run a poll among users and see it graphed as people enter data...this way there are not 100's of messages to deal with. Is this something the admin of the Forum can set up? I'd like to...
