    MFM not reporting range after new modem installed

    My 2014 was updated this week with a new modem. Since then, however, MFM shows the percentage of charge increasing, but the range always shows 28. When it's fully charged, MFM still reports 28. The car's GOM seems unaffected and shows a realistic range at startup. The MFM reporting is via my...

    How much draw using heated seats?

    I was hoping to use my Kill-a-Watt to monitor the draw of heated seats, but it appears the seat warmers can be enabled only with the car being on (car icon showing in dash). Seems Ford (legitimately) inhibits engaging the car icon while the car is on the charger. Has anyone measured how much...

    Where is cabin temperature displayed?

    I've invoked the "Climate" command, after which the on-screen display shows all the current settings, but no temperature, at least that I could find. Does it reside elsewhere? I knowf it's around somewhere......right?

    factory buybacks

    I've noticed several FFEs for sale online whose Carfaxes report they are factory buybacks/lemons. There are often no descriptions as the the nature of the problem an owner had with his car. What's the group's take on such vehicles? It's only conjecture on my part, but I'm assuming there are...
