I wish they gave me more details so I could relay them. After replacing the differential and bearings, I believe it was the electric motor that Ford recommend they replace. The dealer said it came on a pallet and that these are basically a sealed part that they don't open. They were genuinely...

With options and destination: $31,670. Discounted to: $30,376. Subtract $11,750 Red Carpet Lease cash: $18,626 $1000 down, $304 a month seems high. Just building it on the Ford website I'm seeing $910 down, $256 month. There is an extra $1770 that seems to be unaccounted for. Maybe some other...

Just a quick update from me. The replacement motor didn't solve the problem so Ford bought it back.

Your thoughts on this lease offer? This will be my first lease so uncharted territory for me. Thanks. 2017 Platinum White with leather $1000 down, $304 per month plus tax. 10,500 miles per year. Buy back option at $10,634.

It looks like it is extending the range by offering full coasting in D instead of light regen. Does this work in the Focus?

Reading about the fake motor noise on an eGolf forum was why I passed on the Golf and went with the Focus. It is law that all new hybrids and EVs in the US have to make this noise below 19mph by September 1st, 2019. Half must to be in compliance one year before the deadline. So 2017-2018 might...

I wish the heater had a dedicated button similar to the AC. I remember reading about a Leaf mod that prevents the heater from engaging unless the AC button was enabled.

Electrons, thank you for that explanation. It makes sense.

Yes, the car was running great before the recall work was done: silent and quick, probably just like yours. Which is what makes me so curious how this recall work resulted in a wrecked differential and replacement motor. At this point, even if replacing the electric motor solves the noise, I'm...

Me as well. Driving with the charge port open is the EV equivalent of walking around unzipped.

They are replacing the electric motor next. It's still not clear how it went from recall work to this point, but here we are.

How do you like it? Are there features that make it worth it to lose the range / surplus display? I'm currently feeling the same as WattsUp above.

After cleaning out the debris inside the differential, the tech discovered that the gears were damaged after all. Ford had them replace the entire differential and the bearings holding it. Unfortunately, they reported that the original noise remains and confirmed that at low speeds it sounds...

What is the difference between the Owners>Technical Discussions forum vs the Technical>Engineering forum?

Try switching the left display so you can see how much energy is going to climate. The heater doesn't have a dedicated power switch like the AC. It is enabled automatically by the temperature setting. It may be engaging without you knowing it.

Completely unscientific evidence here: I had a situation once where I needed to charge with a 50ft rather thin extension cord otherwise I wasn't going anywhere. The cord became significantly warm to the touch. Luckily it was a cold out.

They put the car up on the lift and confirmed the sound was coming from the transmission area that they worked on. They agreed the sound should not be happening, the tech had done this recall before, but they didn't immediately know the cause. After a few days of back and forth with Ford for...

The Bolt is a smaller car by length and width. It is taller though.

I just had this transmission recall work completed (after over a week at the dealer) and boy am I upset. My Focus now sounds like someone put a baseball card in its spokes! It had no problems before, so I feel like an idiot for fixing it when it wasn't broken. After picking up the car, my first...

Good fun can by had in a trip up a mountain: Rising anxiety as you climb and the guess-o-meter plummets. Coasting back down pull it into L and watch your guess-o-meter set a new high score.
