    Help with coolant fill and bleed after battery replacement

    I ran the procedure again, this time with the pumps around 25% and with all the valves starting at 0 degrees. I then moved each valve back and forth throughout its entire range a number of times. I could see bubbles entering the expansion/degas tank every once in a while and when I moved the...

    Help with coolant fill and bleed after battery replacement

    I recently got my 2018 FFE battery replaced under warranty. Despite me asking the dealership specifically to fill and bleed the coolant system, I'm now pretty convinced they didn't. The other day when charging cold it was making some pretty ugly buzzing noises which I suspect may be the...

    2018 FFE Wrench codes and battery capacity loss

    No refurbishment details were provided other than the refurbished pack is warranted for the lesser of two years or the remainder of the original battery warranty. The one I got is good.

    2018 FFE Wrench codes and battery capacity loss

    So, I got the car back yesterday. Guess-o-meter was showing 130 miles when charged fully. I'm sure it won't go that far, but all seems well with the refurbished replacement battery pack. They even refilled and bled the coolant. I'm happy. Hopefully I can get another six years out of it...

    2017 FFE Battery degradation

    Ouch, that hurts. I'm sorry to hear that your battery is out of warranty. Going to make it tough to get anything out of Ford. Good luck.

    2018 FFE Wrench codes and battery capacity loss

    I pulled the trigger on the battery pack replacement. 7 to 10 days for the battery delivery and I expect another week or so for the dealership to get it scheduled and installed. So a couple weeks out.

    2018 FFE Wrench codes and battery capacity loss

    Thanks all for the feedback. Ford customer service used the terminology 'Final offer', so I doubt they'll negotiate. They also offered to replace the battery pack, which is really all they are obligated to do under warranty, so I'm not sure a Lawyer is warranted. After browsing new EV models...

    2018 FFE Wrench codes and battery capacity loss

    I finally got the dealer to take a look at my car. The prognosis was not good. Surprise, surprise, it needs the HV battery replaced. I didn't hear about it from the dealer, actually. I got a call and an email from Ford corporate customer service. They gave me two options. 1) They will...

    2018 FFE Wrench codes and battery capacity loss

    So, apparently I didn't have an appointment today. I had a "check in" at which I described the problems and they took my info and told me it would be 2-3 weeks before they could even look at the car. I got in their system queue and have to bring it back when they call. The experience did not...

    Yes, under 8 years. I have an appointment at the dealership on Friday. I'll report back results.

    2017 FFE Battery degradation

    It's interesting that battery cell #25 is the low one for both of ours. Not sure what that means. Mine's leveled off at about 16 kW; pretty bad. I have an appointment at the dealer on Friday. I'll see what they have to say and report back. They'll probably tell me nothing's wrong...

    2017 FFE Battery degradation

    Mine also says balancing is in progress, but I don't think it's doing much. I went to go for a short drive and my guess-o-meter was down to just 36 miles. Yikes! I made an appointment to bring it into the dealer, but the earliest appointment is a week out. At the current rate of degradation...

    2018 FFE Wrench codes and battery capacity loss

    Spirilis, I did see your other post. Our problems do sound similar. What is your battery capacity at? I'm also curious if your voltage variation recovers. I expected mine to get better with balancing, but it didn't. I haven't used FORScan Lite for android, but the options for the PC...

    2018 FFE Wrench codes and battery capacity loss

    I have a 2018 FFE that recently threw a bunch of codes and has had a significant drop in battery capacity. I'm hoping to get some help with diagnosis and opinions if fixable of if car is a lost cause. I love the car and would like to keep it as long as possible. A couple months ago I noticed...

    2017 FFE Battery degradation

    Spirilis, I'm very interested in your results. I have a 2018 FFE that also has an abrupt and precipitous drop in battery capacity in the last couple weeks. Similarly charged exclusively with the L1 charger and only 21k miles. I have been leaving it plugged in most of the time. Run down test...

    Upgrade to Sync 3.4

    I recently updated my 2018 FFE to Sync 3.4 using the Syn3 updater. It took almost an hour to complete the update, but did finished successfully. I was biting my nails the whole time. The map update was my primary reason I updated because I live on street that didn't show up, but the biggest...
