The spacers I put on the rear were too wide. If I hit a big bump with weight in the trunk the wheels would scrape the fender. So I removed them and took the spacers off the front (which were smaller) and put them on the rear. The front has none now. The new rims I installed have a wider offset over factory. I forgot the spacer sizes. I'll have to look that up and gets pic. I'm out of town until next week.

I had Ford do a reprogram of the car. A fix from the Ford engineers. After 3 weeks my battery was dead again. So they replaced the battery. I think it was a combination of the 2. Too much power drained whike off (new program supposedly load shreds that), and a defected battery. Let's do how long it lasts..

Wow thanks for the info. They did do software updates yesterday. I assume that's the updates you mentioned. However I did know they didn't replace the battery. I believe this car was sold new around the fall in 2016.

Is it normal to strand you?

My car has been showing "battery save" mode. I couldn't start my car. Pressing the start button did nothing. After 5 minutes of nothing it finally came on. The check engine light came on as well. So the past few drives it keeps showing battery save mode when I start it. It sat for 3 days and the check engine went off as well as the battery save mode. I went to Autozone and they tested the 12v. Said the battery was good but needed charging. 2 weeks prior I drove 13 hours on a road trip. There is no reason it's not getting charged, or any reason it's draining when not in use. I took it to the dealer here in Dallas. They said it needed charging as well. They charged it all night, then drove it the following day. They did confirm the battery was draining. The techs don't know why. So now they are waiting on the Ford engineers to get answers. Has anybody experienced this?

What were your symptoms? After mine sits a few hours it loses connection. I have to go back to the dealer. 2017 model.

The dealer said the modem was fine. I notice the pattern is if the car sits for more than a few hours it goes blank and won't connect. Time to. All the dealer again... anybody else have his proven on the 2017?

I called tech support and apparently my modem has never been activated. Off to the dealer tomorrow afternoon.

Ok so I read it's free for the first 5 years. Now I just need to figure out how to make it work away from home. One would think you simply start the mobile app. I do that and it's never worked. I only think it works through my wifi, or either my signal in my driveway is bad. But that doesn't explain why it has never worked elsewhere.

Ok so how do I get this working? Is that automatic or something I pay for separately? It's has never worked past my driveway and that only works half the time. It usually times out. Especially at night.

I have a 2017 Energi. It seems only half the time MFM works from my house when the car is within wifi range. The other half it says "timed out". Is this normal? Also, shouldn't I be able to use this anywhere? I have AT&T but wasn't sure if I needed to set something additional up.

My stock Fusion has 18" 235/45 8" width stock rims on it. The bolt pattern is 5x108 with a 55 offset. The rims I am looking at are 18", but 9" wide and have a 5x114.5 bolt pattern. If I add wheel spacers that convert it to from a 5x108 pattern to a 5x114.5 pattern,, do you think the stock original tire on the 8" rim will fit the 9" rim? If I add a 1' spacer, does anyone see where this wouldn't work? The 1" wider rim would be pushed out 1", so the inside portion of the rim will be 1/2" further out. I'm not sure about the offset.

I have 18" 235/45. My spacers just came in. 32mm rear and 25mm front. This should give it more of an aggressive look. I'm looking at changing the rims as well. Time to rim shop. Would you know the wheel size for the 18"? Or what size rim will fit the tires and the fusion bolt pattern. I'm seeing 5x108 ET40. I know the 5 is the bolts but I'm not sure what 108 and ET40 are..

Has anybody added spacers? My Fusion looks a little sunk in at the fenders. If so, who has added them and what size? Thanks
