Re: 2017 FFE Battery degradation

Very sorry to hear of your warranty travails. If there isn't a business that services/rebuilds OEM batteries, there ought to be. But here's my question following on this topic: does anyone know what is Ford's official definition of acceptable "degradation over time" as this phrase is used...

Re: How Good is the FFE Battery Warranty?

Not directly answering the Q but, I can vouch for the fact that, once the "Voltage Variation" between cells metric hits 0.30 V, a wrench light comes on (code P0BBE) and the dealer will certainly look at the battery and consider it for replacement. That happened to me, mine just happens to ...

Re: 2017 FFE Battery degradation

...$24,283.10 for the diagnostics plus battery replacement... 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. Yeah they haven't got back to me but it needs something front-end on top of this, I am not sure wher...

Re: 2017 FFE Battery degradation

Update- Dealer's playing dumb, sent me an invoice for $24,283.10 for the diagnostics plus battery replacement. The service advisor claimed he looked up & down for warranty info before sending this to me. He also had the vehicle description wrong, listing my C-Max Energi instead of the Focus. Aft...

Re: 2017 FFE Battery degradation

And it's at the dealer... we'll see what comes of it. I'd probably take the buyout if they offer one. Our needs have changed and there is something going on with the frontend still (seems steering related), kinda sick of dealing with it.

Re: Motor Mounts for 2017 FFE

In watching the video, it seems that the drive unit is still shaking a little. Were all mounts replaced? And might that which the mount attaches to be problematic? All were replaced. It appears the lower mount (seen in the lower left, a shiny aluminum piece) does still allow a little flex. The subf...

Re: 2018 FFE Wrench codes and battery capacity loss

That's a hard one. Depends on how much else is wrong with the car I guess. Bushings, shocks, etc... all fixable but with what hassle.. I'm getting more interested in PHEVs nowadays, I'd probably take the buyout and look for a plug-in hybrid using it as a down payment. TBH I might be in that boat soo...

Re: Motor Mounts for 2017 FFE

Still not 100% sure what the looseness/clunkyness in the front end is. It got better with new mounts but there's still something there pissing me off. Thought some might enjoy watching this- https://gopro.com/v/Z0M6k16kwvK74 My new struts definitely make a little creak, but those were Quick-Struts a...

Re: Motor Mounts for 2017 FFE

Might the axles be slightly loose in the hubs or the differential? If the splines have loosened up, that would make a clunk on accelerating or decelerating. Yeah hard to say. It's less about accel/decel though, more going over potholes and bumps (there's a TON of them in the city where I live). The...

Re: Motor Mounts for 2017 FFE

Happy to report the motor mount swap went well, wasn't TOO hard although a few bolts were hard to reach and I was using a U-joint and extension with the impact wrench (always a dubious endeavour). Most of the bad clunking went away. There is still some which puzzles me. I wonder how secure the radia...
