    Stop Safely Now Warning

    Quite frankly, we were the beta testers. Yes, numbers produced vs. numbers with problems that resulted in buybacks, etc., would be of value. Technology gets better with each generation of any type of device, and we all have or had many types of phones, printers, computers, cars, that were just...

    Stop Safely Now Warning

    6/1/16, 2013 Focus EV died for 5th time in almost 3 years with SSN. Roadside assistance said, "We tow to the closest Ford dealer", which was 1/2 mile away. However, THAT dealer does not service EV's (I had inquired many times over the 3 years of ownership), so I am told that I must pay $110 to...

    2013 EV Lemon, NIghtmare Stories

    Uncooperative dealer demanded loaner be returned, and they state 'no issues found', after a test drive. (can an intermittent EV issue be determined by a ride around the block???) Ford Customer Care was useless, 6 calls today, 2 yesterday, 20 minutes to 1-1/2 hours each interaction, no help...

    2013 EV Lemon, NIghtmare Stories

    Okay. I purchased my 2013 Ford focus EV in July 2013. It went back to the dealer multiple times for various different recalls and other than those recalls I only needed to rotate my tires at 5000 miles. Each time it when into the dealer they left grease on my dashboard or my console and...

    Sync Dead? Ford non-responsive? Unresolved issues, forever?

    There was a recall for the lights (orange reflector light): http://www.myfocuselectric.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1271 All owners should have been notified, as well as being posted on the http://www.nhtsa.gov/ website. Possibly, the headlight recall was a Ford recall. Here is what I have...

    Time for service! Oil change needed!

    I too just got my notice for 10,000 mile service. Silly. Think of all the jobs in jeopardy because nobody "owns" the responsibility of knowing their customers, what they buy, and what they need. The employees have a job, a paycheck, and not a care in the world about doing their job...

    Electric cars have higher insurance premium than gas!

    I referenced this a few months ago in another post....the Insurance Companies use a "symbol rating" system, a guide that has pre-determined statistics from history of claims, etc., that affect the cost to insure. See: http://www.insure.com/car-insurance/car-insurance-comparison.html Also...

    Got my car back on 11/1/13, SSN~PCM reprogrammed, no issues so far, I hope this does the trick. They gave me a loaner, do I ask for them to reimburse my gasoline usage costs?

    Stop Safely Now Warning

    So does this mean if the car remains a questionable vehicle in terms of safety, that the potential for Ford to buy them back, etc., may become a reality? I would like opinions on this, as if it might be a reality, I can start looking at the Tesla......
