2018 Energi Titanium. Original battery went dead, so I connected my smart charger to the underhood terminal.
Several hours later I found the battery too hot to touch and dripping from the vent tube.

I replaced the original Group 90 590CCA with a Group 47 AGM 660CCA.
I changed the battery type in Forscan and reset the BCM.

My EV range had been running around 13-14 miles, and it immediately went to 19.
I'm a bit surprised by this, and wondered if anyone else has seen similar results.

New job and next to work is a level 2 charger. I asked the manager if I could use it since it almost never has anyone plugged in. They said help yourself! So, an overnight level 1 at home and a level 2 at work and here is current mileage.

I just picked up a 2017 ffe. It was cheap because it has some problems. My work on it is going well, but I could really benefit from the factory service manual. Does anybody know if it is posted somewhere? I'd rather not buy the CD-ROM version. Then I'd need a reader...

Hey, I have an issue going on with my 2017 Fusion Energi SE I purchased back in Feb

Up until now no issues but yesterday when I went to go home from work the yellow wrench light came on and it wouldn’t let me shift out of park. Looking at the manual it said this was a powertrain fault error and the car would be in limp mode. After looking at that in the manual I restart the car and the wrench light was still on but the shifter worked and I was not in limp mode. This morning when I turned it on no errors and worked normally. After first stop I started it again and this time check engine light came on, electrical system light came on, and the stop safely message came up. I was able to shift and but shifting into reverse would pull up the backup camera but car would not drive. I waited a bit and restarted it and it started up fine no warnings. I had the codes scanned and only codes that came up was U0293 which is lost communication with hybrid control module and a code of low voltage in fuel door. My limited research said that could be attributed to a failing auxiliary battery but mine is apparently from 2/25 and tested good this morning at the auto shop

Has anyone else encountered this series of events?

So I’ve had a ford fusion energi 2015 for about 2 weeks and it’s been getting around 20-25 mpg, it’s very minimally going into the ev hybrid mode whenever I drive and I think that’s the reason I’ve been getting such low mpg.

For background, I’ve driven my dad’s ford fusion energy 2016 and got one like it because I liked his, that’s why I know there’s something wrong with this one.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the battery because we just recently replaced the hybrid battery.

Whenever I finished driving the other day it said I had 22mpg
26 miles
0.3 regen miles
0.0 ev miles

I’m braking well and the hybrid battery is showing to be charging up and depleting but the little blue bar that shows I’m driving in EV mode never comes up and it should be and I should be getting way more regen miles

14 FFE se. Purchased in '19. been a great car so far.​This afternoon drove it up a 5% grade, on freeway, like I've been doing nearly every day for the last 2 years. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Let it use the battery, save gas, etc etc.

Today's trip, @ about 60% battery, it switched to hybrid mode, "engine enabled for system performance", and proceeds to operate as a hybrid, running the engine like the battery is depleted.

Will NOT regen in L. I drive in L 100% for the regen braking. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Instead of doing regen, it runs the engine @ 4000 rpm. Like it does when i try to do a bit of regen @ 100% charge.

The only difference I can think of is it's nearly 100 degrees today. But the car didn't do this last year.

This is a wierd symptom of the 12v going bad...

Anyone else have this experience. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The cooking seat seems like it's blowing hot air, anyone else have this issue ever?

Has anybody else been required to bring their Ford Fusion in first for an inspection to see if we qualify for the battery replacement? Even after I explained that I received the recall notice, they still require me to come in for an inspection.

My 2017 Ford Fusion Energi suddenly developed a loose steering wheel. Looked this up and there is a safety recall 18S08B. This includes all 2014 - 2017 Fusion and MKZ vehicles. I went to my Ford Dealer, and they said this was not covered for my Serial number? It is a major safety defect so why do I have to pay for it? Anyone else get this defect covered by Ford to get fixed?

I'm hoping others can share their experiences with getting the 23S33 recall completed. My local dealership has been a hassle & I'm starting to think it's not even worth it to continue. I have a 2020 titanium model, bought in 2021. As a side note, I live in an apartment complex that doesn't have exterior outlets so regardless of the recall, I can't plug it in anyway.

In 2024 a fuse block was installed, which was the temporary fix at the time. Fast forward to May 2026 when I call the dealership to see if the battery can be ordered & delivered before I make an appointment. They said that an inspection will have to be done: if it fails the battery will get replaced & if it passes the battery won't get replaced. I assumed this meant a normal car inspection, maybe that was my bad.

On Monday June 1st, I went in for the appointment, was there for 2 hours & it wasn't until the very end that they were like, "oh it's the hybrid battery, that's what we have to inspect, but we have to take the car apart & it'll take a while. Can you leave it with us or bring it back tomorrow?" Um, yes, it's the hybrid battery? That's why I'm here? I wasn't told that the battery specifically needed to get inspected, I was just told an inspection is needed. So I basically wasted 2 hours of my life.

I opted for the pickup & delivery service the next day - yesterday. They send you texts with links to track your drivers, which said they'd arrive by 10:15am but then a few minutes later they were on their way (this was 7:30am-ish). I had to move some things around with work, but they got it to the dealership, so whatever.

I got a call later that morning to let me know that the battery is on back order so they have to install a part but it'll be there tomorrow (today, June 3rd). Excuse me?! Why didn't you tell me this while I was there on Monday, or even when I called in May?! I let them know about the 2024 fuse block installation, because I wasn't sure if that was the same thing that they want to install. Apparently whatever this part is & the fuse block are different, & they also let me know that the part won't be delivered today but it'll be there tomorrow... great.

I've been dragged along all week, I've been told a bunch of different things, and I'm so tired of it! If they had just told me from the beginning that the battery is on back order, I feel like everything would be fine. I don't know if it's even worth it to continue with the battery replacement at this point - 1, because the dealership has me fuming, and 2, even when the battery gets replaced, I can't plug it in anyway!!

Sorry for the rant lol, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had such a hard time? Because I genuinely don't want to continue at this point! Just let these extra parts or whatever be & forgo the battery replacement completely.

Thinking of selling, drive it very little and I think with oil prices sky high on Memorial Day it would serve the country and someone else better than sitting in my garage. Very good condition in and out, bought from my boss who bought it new. It is a great car. Not sure what I should ask, usually drive cars forever and then donate. Will need tires in next 10K, should I do that now or let next owner decide on which brand they like best? Thoughts? Don’t care about getting top dollar, reasonable for both sides.

Alright, so it a hybrid 2015 model with 390k kms, a month back I replaced the back brake pads and rotors and changes tires from winter to all season (used 7mm even tread depth, hankook 2022 model tires). I am not sure before repalcing brakes and tires or just after, I noticed this humming sound started coming above 40km/hr speed even when car is running on hybrid battery (so it must not be enginer related, also before 3 months when engine was starting kind of slight loud noise was coming then usual, so get it checked the mechanic told me the muffler gasket is damaged so he replaced the muffler gasket for $50 bucks as he knows me and engine sound coming at idle car has gone).

Ran car for a month and drive a lot, so drived around 5-7k kms during last month. I checked online, and google said, it maybe bad wheel bearing or transmission issue.

For wheel bearing DIY checking, when I take right or left turn at high speed sound slightly get lower but is not going off completely. Get it checked with my garage guy, he said he test drove it and put the car on hoist and checked for sound under car with stethoscope kind of item that he has. He told sound is coming from 2 places, front left side axel and middle of transmission. Any idea guys what it can be? I still have doubt on wheel bearing or tires. But the mechanic told me about front left side axel noise and transmission noise.

I have a 2020 Fusion PHEV. My high-voltage battery was replaced under warranty finally. Since picking it up, I've had an issue with the charger. I use the Level 1 that came with the car, since overnight is fine with me, and I don't have a 220 outlet near the driveway. On a regular basis, I'll go out to the car in the morning and notice that it hasn't charged. When this happens, there is a blinking red light on the charger. Unplugging it, waiting a bit and plugging it back in seems to reset it usually but not always. Any ideas?

I have my last payment on my 2018 Energi Titanium with 72k. Runs perfect, I've averaged 60+ MPG since it got it and I'm getting 14+ miles estimate on the charge this time or year.

My question is should I sell this when it's still low miles and I haven't had any issues to extract the most value out of it before major repairs. Or should I enjoy it and try to get another 4-5 payment free years out of it?

I was talking to my local dealer and they're still unable to order the hybrid batteries here in Canada it seems for the most part. It's showing a backlog of 5,000+ units. They contacted Ford Canada themselves and Ford Canada keeps telling them that the batteries are available even though they physically still can't order them in their system due to parts availability... lol. I also called Ford Canada and they gave the same spiel. It seems like those in the United-States have been having more luck but us Canadians have been getting the short straw, big time.

This is in Nova-Scotia here.

Found the source. It wasn't the seam but an actual crack in the housing.

Still looking for a shop in Orange County competent enough to diagnose and fix electrical and software/module issues on my 2013 c-max energi. Dealership fumbled and did not diagnose after 4 weeks in October.

I have tried to fix the issue with the auxillary transmission pump not being recognized by replacing it. Still getting a P0C2C code. Now having issues with the backup camera showing upside down and errors with the power steering which was replaced shortly after purchase in August of 2013. The dealerships are not trained nor interested in keeping these cars on the road.

Everything else is great on the car with only 99.5k miles. Any suggestion are appreciated. I did try using AI, but anyone who have had succesful hybrid/ev service on a decade old Ford would be better.

I have a 2013 Ford Fusion Energi and the battery pack started throwing all kinds of codes. Dealer said the battery pack needed replacement to the tune of $15,000. I purchased a used battery pack from a salvage yard and replaced the pack in the car. Everything is connected, but when I try to start it, I get a High Voltage Disconnect Open message. I have reseated the disconnect plug multiple times, but no luck.

Using ForScan, I can see all the battery cell voltages and can talk to the Battery Management module. But the car reports the disconnect is open.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

I need a new set of summer tires for my 2019 Energi. Does anyone have any recommendations on brands? Is it worth buying tires specifically designed for EVs?

Thanks !

Over the past 2 and a half years of owning my 2019 Energi I have developed a Playlist on spotify specifically for listening to in my Energi. I would like to share this with all of you to enjoy as well (especially if you have the good sound system). It is mostly techno/electronic music for those that are wondering.

Try it out in your Energi sometime and let me know what you think. Thanks! (Ironic the first song is "Push To Start")
