Hello, I took my car in for an oil change today and was told i needed a coolant flush. I ended up getting it done. From what i read online, it's needed every 30K miles or so (I have 67k). However, when i go on Ford's website and look at the maintenance schedule, i see no mention of it. How would they know if it was needed? I was left skeptical whether the service advisor was upselling me because of a few other issues that came up. Unfortunately, I know little about cars but had a bad vibe!

I got mine working by pulling the fuse, too. However, I still want to get the firmware upgrade and curious to know what people paid, or if done under warranty.

I had the modem swapped out about 2 years ago. I had it swapped out right when the update came out, cant remember how long ago it was. Now i have 50k miles on the car, and my ford mobile told me i needed 1.4.6. Dealer wanted to charge me $129 to fix it and i declined. What additional warranty coverage came with the 3g modem?

Once I reset the circuit breaker to get the ford app working two weeks ago, the clock has been able to retain its time without a problem.

In the 10 days since I posted this, I let it continue and now I'm up to 20. My app doesn't work today, unsure if it's a time sync issue. If it's a battery issues, Is the standard battery covered by the 3/36 or 5/50 part of the warranty? I've gotten no error messages on my dashboard.

No, i haven't gotten any battery warnings....

I have a 2015 FFE. Over the last few months, my clock falls behind 10 minutes. I reset it, and within a few days it goes back to 10 minutes behind. I can see it progressively occur as i check the time when i get in and out of the car. Anyone experience the issue?

Thanks for the clarification of the 20,000 miles. Is the oil change indicator percent gauge smart enough to understand the difference between electric and non electric usage?

I have a 2015 Fusion Energi. Manual says to change every 1 year, or 10,000 miles. I have driven 12,000 miles in the last 8 months. I'm averaging about 57MPG a tank, so I'm guessing I've driven about 9,000 gas miles. My oil change indicator says 33%. So, if it hasn't been a year yet, and the oil change is still above 5% or so, is there a need to change the oil even if I go above 10,000 miles?

I have a 2015 FFE. I have an external Sirius XM device mounted in the car. I can toggle between AM/FM, Audio Video, my phone, etc. etc. how i please. One thing I've notice is that if I'm in Audio/Video listening to Sirius XM, put the car in park to do something, then put back in drive, the audio/video message takes up the whole screen, and I don't see the AM/FM button on the left, my phone, and all the other options. The only way I can get it back to normal is to turn off the ignition and restart the car. Anyone else see that in their car?

Both of my analysis are done at the same point in time. The trip indicator has never been manually reset, the last time it changed over was at 10,000 miles.

I’m trying to draw some statistics to determine how much usage is electric vs. gas/hybrid on my 2016 FFE If each kilowatt gives me 4 miles, then I got about 2,508 miles (627*4) from plugging in. This is stating about 35% of my miles are electric (2507/7207) However, if this car is supposed to get around 40 miles per gallon on fuel, and I’m getting 82mpg, than that would mean I should be getting 50% electric miles. Either my car is getting more miles per kilowatt, or more miles per gallon. Anyone do similar testing?

They ended up replacing the battery and PCM Power relay.

Looking for some feedback before i take my car in. My car wouldn't start this morning. Turned the ignition and heard nothing but a click. 10 hours later, I had a tow truck over. I gave him my keys, and he opened the door and the car turned on. It turned on a wrench on the display, and sync booted up as if it was doing a software update. Both never occur. I ran vehicle health report and nothing comes up. The driver thought the battery was dead, but it concerns me the car went from non responsive to deciding to start to charge without anything occuring (but 10 hours passing by the time i got back home and made a call). I normally drive in electric mode. The car did sit idle for a week, and yesterday I drove it in electric mode for 10 minutes with no problem. He felt it was the battery, and stated the battery doesn't charge if the car is only in electric mode. (The only other thing worth..i think it's insignificant... noting is yesterday I turned the ignition off in the middle of re-pairing my phone. That was the last thing I did till this morning) After the tow truck left, I drove in engine mode a few miles. When I got back in the car, the lights flickered on and off, then back on. I drove the car another 10 minutes with the gas going. I got home. When I locked, instead of hearing the usual beep, it sounded more like a wounded duck. This car is a 2015 Energi SE with 17,000 miles on it.

I dropped my charger. Looks like a little piece off the top broke. Does it cause any harm to the car to use it w/o what fell off? Think it was a white tab on top.
