I have bought the upgrade navigation cards from eBay, every other year since 2013. The latest is A14, works just fine, I have not had any problems with these eBay cards. Every year I get a card in the mail from Ford offering the latest Nav card, very expensive this way. eBay is the way to go.

Batteries do degrade over time. The amount of discharge/charge cycles are finite, just like cell phone batteries. There are other posts on this web site, that tell you how to determine the capacity left in your battery.

After not finding it on the internet, maybe go to a Ford Parts Department. At least you'll find out if it is individually sourced.

The half battery icon, after the main drive section of the battery is depleted, is the hybrid section of the battery, showing its state of charge. It's not an issue, it's part of the display operation.

It was 6 or 8 tears ago, when I first read someone asking the same question, about the rearview camera. As far as I know, this is the view the camera has with a fisheye lens. I rented a Fusion a while back, when on vacation, and the camera showed the same view.

Both my 2013 and 2016 Fusion did this. The subject has been brought up on this forum in the past.

On the Fusion Energi, the brake booster pump, power steering pump are electric. On an ICE driven car, these systems are driven by vacuum and fluid power steering, respectively. On the Energi, the brake booster pump comes on when the brake boost system pressure gets low, this is after several brake applications. This is the buzzing noise you're hearing. The electric power steering is on constantly, while the car is turned on, it's probably silent.

This number is only an estimate, and it was derived from the previous time the car was driven. Ford gives a number, and people think it's cast in concrete. What Ford doesn't say is that the number is good, only if you don't drive the car. Fast starts from stop lights, not using regenerative breaking correctly, using A/C, using heat, headlights, driving on the Freeway at 70+, MPH, and the beat goes on. Plus, how many miles are on the Energi. It's a 2015, could have 50,000 to 150,000 miles on the odometer. The battery degrades over time, charge, discharge cycles, plugging the car in while the battery is still hot, will degrade the battery. If you live in a hot or cold climate, all this effects battery capacity. I have a 2016 Energi, with 47,000 miles. I do drive conservatively. I do manage the battery, EV now, while driving to the FWY, switch over to EV later while on the FWY, EV now driving below 45 MPH. I show only 18 max, on Ev charge, and this is on a good day, most times it's less. But, it is what it is. You just can't drive it like an ICE only car, you need to be gentle with the gas pedal, and plan your stops, slow down a block away, not just race from stop light to stop light. I do use heat and A/C, because I won't drive hot or cold. Follow some of these ideas, your mileage on EV just might increase. But, I wouldn't expect 28 EV miles, ever.

Many years ago, I owned a 2013 Energi. One rainy morning while getting ready for work, I was bending over putting my shoes on, I must have pressed, and held the door unlock button, while the fob was in my pocket, the windows and moon roof opened, luckily it was only a minute before I noticed it. I managed to get the windows and moon roof closed by holding the lock button for several seconds. I did go and disable the global opening in the left-hand screen. So, on my new at the time 2016 Energi, I immediately disabled the global opening on the new Fusion.

South Bay Ford, is the best dealer for Energi maintenance in Southern California. I've owned two hybrids, 2010, 2013 and now own a 2016 Energi. I've met people at SBF who drove over 100 miles, because the Hybrid service, is the best in the Southern California. If you can get it, adaptive cruise control and automatic parallel parking, is the way to go. The 2017 and up, has, stop and go adaptive cruise control. I have had zero problems with my 2016 Energi. It now has 42,000 miles.

You will always have navigation, on my 2013, or maybe it was my 2010, as I remember, SiriusXM, navigation and traffic was supplied by Ford for a trial period, or something like that. I remember I lost traffic, and found the service had expired. I called SiriusXM and restarted my subscription, the traffic came back. This is going by memory, I now have a 2016 and re-subscribe every year.

Both my 2013 Titanium Fusion Hybrid and my 2016 Titanium Energi , have the 120 Volt convenience outlet, on the back lower center console. Edit: (I just reread the manual and it says if equipped)

LOL

It happens on all modern cars in the quest for efficient aerodynamics, and better fuel economy. The engineers try to get laminar air flow across the car. When you open a window or several windows,the air flow is disrupted and it buffers. Opening cross windows caused the buffering to be out of phase, thus quieting the noise. Much like the electronic noise canceling system in the car.

My dealer, South Bay Ford, has OEM blades, in stock, that cost $19.95 installed. Every 6 months or so when I go in for service, I just have them throw on new wiper blades, and it's done. I don't have to worry about them until the next service. And these blades have the same part number. They also perform as well as more expensive, after market blades. I have rain sensing wipers and it doesn't matter what blade you put on. Like Murphy says, it's in the camera sensor behind the mirror that does the sensing.

When deciding to use heat or not, I always think of this picture.

I turned off the global opening several years ago... because, one morning, during a very heavy rain, with the fob in my pocket, I managed to get the windows open. Lucky I managed to find out in a short time. It took several days to get the car dried off.

I get compliments all the time, also. Here is a photo of my former 2013 FFH next to an Aston Martin. I think the Fusion holds its own. My new 2016 FFE is the same color. Two Aston Martins on the same day.

Davidoo, thanks for posting this. Just as I’ve thought, mild temps, mild speeds, no A/C or heat, flat roads, gentle acceleration and you will get what the indicator says. Please post what your mileage indicator says tomorrow or after the next full charge.

This is the most miles per charge I’ve gotten, ever. I don’t really think this is a good indicator of miles in the battery. I think this should be measured in kWh available. It’s how you use the available kWh is what gives the most miles per charge. Running on the FWY at 65 mph will eat up the available charge in 10 to 15 miles. Then you think this is a faulty battery because the manual says 21 miles in EV. This may be true if crusing at 35 mph, no heater, no AC, no lights. So take the miles on a single charge as an estimate only and not count on it as gospel. I aggressively manage my HVB by using the EVNow and EVLater as needed. EVNow in the city, EVLater on the FWY.

One of the more reasonable statements I’ve read. I just amazes me that one spends $30K or more on a car and then worries about a few cents or dollars on on each trip. I’d rather be driving comfortably, than driving cold or hot. Just my humble opinion.

I’ve gotten 25 EV Miles. I don’t remember when this was, I live in SoCal, so the weather is very mild in the Fall, Winter, Spring. No heat or AC probably. Click on link. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v612/gkinla/Ruby%20Mileage%20and%20other%20stuff/IMG_6379.jpg

The 21 EV miles is an advertised estimate. If your driving 30 to 40 MPH without heat or AC every day, and getting 11-12 EV miles, then this is a problem. Then again, if you jump in the car take it on the FWY everyday at 65 MPH with AC or heat on, then this is normal. I believe the car should be rated in kWh available, not in miles per charge. Normal city driving, easy acceleration and good regen breaking, then the 21 miles per charge will probably hold up. Everyone's normal driving is different. On the FWY, you can deplete the HVB in 10 to 15 miles. The Energi remembers how the car was driven last, and then this becomes the next range estimate. If you are driving on the FWY try using EVLater, use EVNow to get to the FWY, then change over to EVLater, then back to EVNow when getting off the FWY. My 2016 with 15,000 miles, I keep getting 20 to 21 mile range repeatedly, but, I aggressively manage my HVB by doing the above switching. City driving is more efficient using EVNow, FWY driving it's more efficient using EVLater. Slow city driving I use the Low range, this makes the Regen Braking more aggressive when you lift off the gas pedal. It's almost like one pedal driving. I know the manual states not to drive in Low for a long distance, this is probably for sustained FWY driving, and may be a leftover sentnce from the Hybrid manual. My 2010 FFH when going from D to L, the ICE would jump form 2,000 RPM to 4,000 RPM, the Energi doesn't do this. The RPM doesn't change when the ICE is running and I move from D to L. Update, I missspoke regarding my 2010 FFH, I don’t remember what the ICE did moving from D to L. It was my 2013 FFH that did this 2000 rpm increase moving from D to L, only when the ICE was running.
