I just got off the phone with Ford customer service. Owning the Ford Focus Electric has become a frustrating experience. According to the brochure for the Ford Focus Electric found below Unique Electrical Components are covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles. The customer service rep could not...

Well my FFE is broken still... Heidi plugged in at the airport and when she got back yesterday morning 5:30 am the car would not start, 12v battery was low. It has been plugged in 2 1/2 days. What was worse is because the battery was low, the car would not shut off, dash lights and such...

I got my car back today. The car has been parked at the dealer for 4 days since the repairs and it still started so it appears the problem is fixed. Previously the car 12v battery was going dead over night. They went through a number of systems and contacted Ford for assistance. In the end...

So I need some more help. They called yesterday the car was ready. I went to pick it up today and it was taking them an unusually long time to bring the car up. When I asked the service individual he told me the battery was dead and he had to jump it. I explained that that's the exact...

After looking into it further the dealership said the new part# for the Modem update was different than the part# for the TCU, which made them think they were separate parts. However the new part# is the Updated TCU/Modem. They will have the parts here in a couple days and the TCU repair will...

The dealership just called back. The service consultant said that the recall for replacement of the modem would not entail replacement of the defective TCU. She is going to double check with the technician working on the car but as it stands they are indicating they are separate components and...

I called Ford and they said the parts/repairs are not covered under warranty. EVA, you are correct there are several recalls that need to be done on the car. The dealer has the list and said they would perform the recalls. They did not indicate to me the Modem recall would solve the TCU...

I have a 2013 FFE with 22k miles. Light ring is going out. Dealer wants $800 to replace it. Seems like and very expensive part that more than a few people are having a problem.

Mine is also dying. Ford dealership wants $800 to replace, say its part of an assembly.

I will call Ford, thanks. Does it make sense that the TCU is causing the 12V battery drain? I have been reading through the posts on 12V battery discharging(there are a lot of them) and there does not seem to be any consensus from what I have read so far.

Car has 22k miles. Dealer says neither item is covered under warranty.

I took my 2013 Focus in to the dealer because the 12V battery is draining if I leave the car for more than a day and the car will not start. It doesn't matter if it is plugged in after charging or sitting in the driveway. I took the battery out and charged it, then took it to Autozone for a...

The limited Torque on takeoff seem to me to be a programming of the inverter power curve. As another stated Ford has been very conservative with this car which is understandable given it's their first mass-produced EV. Tapping the pedal from standstill in a Leaf and the Focus is a different...

I agree entirely, I would love to be able to reduce the regen. I also shift between N,D and L. One good reason to use N is long slow downward grades. Not many but we have a few here in Texas. I am learning to apply only a slight amount of accelerator pedal to keep it between actual power...

True Texas is spread out but I am keeping the Acura for the longer trips. And the beauty of Houston is the that the biggest hills are the freeway overpasses - otherwise totally flat. .

Thanks for all input. We just got back from Austin, found a dealer over there with a 2012 FFE that we drover over and took for a test drive. All I can say it the Electric was Night and Day difference from the ICE. Total pleasure to drive. Much smoother, better handling and a real kick to...

Hello, I was looking to buy a new FFE but have never driven one before. The dealer here in Houston has made me a good offer but there are no FFEs within 200 for me to test drive. I drove 2 Nissan Leafs today and they drove very Nicely, Very Smooth ride and handled/cornered well...
