    Most Life-time miles - Does anyone have 50,000 miles yet?

    I have 58,000 on my leased FFElecric (Beano!) in Georgia. I have noticed that charges of 80's are now the high (down from the 100's) and 70's are now the norm. I can usually still make my 65 mile commute on one charge. The weather can make a difference. My next EV will probably be a Tesla 3...

    Cannot turn radio ON with Voice, Screen, Dash, etc.

    You might pull the 7.5A Fuse #67 and reinstall it. It is in the second row from the right and 3rd one down (front passenger side on the right of the glove box). Fixed my problem with MFT not responding and Navigation audio was working but the display (maps) was not.

    Yellow Wrench Recently

    Week before last I started getting the Yellow Wrench warning. It would shut off (reset) if I stopped and turned it off for 30 min or so but as soon as I drove it a block it would turn back on. I took it to the dealer here twice with the code displayed but they could not pull any codes or...

    Forum back up on MFM website

    Looks like the discussion forum is back up on the MFM website. They backed up (and restored) the posts and user names so you cannot use the one you used before... same on the C-Max side. If you go to My Account it will show you what your new user name is (your first and last name) and let you...

    Now the Fiat 500e

    That was for the drive shaft bolt replacement. Now it has a new problem: http://www.myfiat500e.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=43 It sounds just like the SSN message on the FFE especially the "lurching and then stop" but on the Fiat they get a "service propulsion system" message (SPS ?) The fix...

    Electric Front windshield defroster

    I agree portable but in the mean time for a quick defroster fix use a harborfrieght #60525. I use mine with just the fan (leave the Heat off) and my windshield stays clear (on my side anyway). http://www.harborfreight.com/12-volt-auto-heater-defroster-with-light-60525.html It has a toggle...

    Walk away door locks

    The car already knows when I have the key-fob close and will unlock the doors when I touch the door handle (very cool) so why not give it the ability to lock the doors when I walk away from it. It already knows if I walk past a bumper with the car still on and the key in my pocket (it honks the...

    ECO Cruise for the FFE

    Sorry they already did it... It is not just that it slows down on hills it "limits acceleration" and saves fuel. Davideos, I don't know if you could call it adaptive.....well you might. In my tests we get 43 with regular cruise and 47 with ECO cruise (of the same hilly 20 mile test route). You...

    ECO Cruise for the FFE

    I would like a ECO cruise (like on the Ford C-Max). The C-Max has the best cruise control I have ever used! In ECO mode it will back off going up hills (maybe 3 to 5 mph) and allow the vehicle to regen going down hills. I cannot believe Ford did not put it on the 2014 FFE. At least they put the...

    Charge capacity

    I have a 50 mile commute also. I charge with 240 (level 2) at home and at work I can usually get to a level 1 (110) and there are several public level 2 chargers near work (Blink Sema ....). The type of charger has no effect on your range it just takes longer with the level 1. Go times do not...

    Is there a list of Achievements?

    Here is a partial list of what I have with descriptions... I have not attained the one(s) with the (?) but someone listed them on MFM site before it was "fixed". It looks like after the reset (merge) most of the Driving Achievements and Impact Achievements came back but I guess I will need to...
