I have a 2019 Fusion Energi and have towed it behind my motorhome for several thousand miles. After I have the transmission in "Neutral Tow"mode, I turn off the ignition (press the Start/Stop button). Never had a problem and have never run down the battery. I use a Brake Buddy for supplemental braking and installed another 12 VDC outlet directly wired to the battery because the 12 VDC outlets in the car don't stay "live" for more than 10 minutes. On those rare occasions where I keep the car attached to my motorhome overnight (multi day trip) and are in a pull thru site, I disconnect the Brake Buddy to make sure that it doesn't draw down the battery overnight - - and reconnect it in the morning before we leave.

Evidently Paul didn't understand my comment "They run too often and at too rapid a rate even when set to the least sensitive position". I am well aware of the adjustment on the right column and that's what I was referring to when I stated "when set to the least sensitive position". Unfortunately that "lease sensitive position" is still too sensitive and causes the wipers to run too often and too fast - - even at high speed in situations where there is only moderate amounts of rain falling.

The rain sensing wipers on my 2019 Energi are too sensitive. They run too often and at too rapid a rate even when set to the least sensitive position. This is my 3rd Ford product with rain sensing wipers so I think I know what to expect from them. The rain sensing wipers on the other 2 vehicles worked perfectly (IMO). My daughter has a 2015 Lincoln MKC and complains about the same thing. Her rain sensing wipers are too sensitive! Is there any adjustment that can be made by the user or Ford dealer to fix this problem?

Thanks! That definitely would explain why the BEV miles reset to zero since they reset every 1,000 miles whereas the total miles only reset every 10,000 miles. Seems like they (Ford) should have been consistent and let the BEV mile counter go to 9999.9 before resetting.

Starvoyager, Just read your post and unlike Murphy and 4cylinder I think that I understand your problem. The MPG indicator just doesn't go from say 560 MPG to 999.9 MPG overnight and then stay at 999.9 regardless of how you drive your vehicle.. Unfortunately I don't have a solution for your problem. These vehicles have complex electronics and sometimes strange things happen. e.g. A couple of months ago my cumulative data (which I've never reset since I bought my 2019 Energi 6 months ago) was somehow partially reset; the BEV miles reset to zero but the other data did not! Also, my trip data (which shows up in the left screen after you turn off the car and before you open the door) will sometimes indicate zero miles traveled! Strange!

I agree! I have a 2019 Fusion Energi which I've had for less than 2 months and have already set off the alarm accidentally. The key FOB design is not a good one. Never had this problem with other key FOBs. Unfortunately I don't know of any after market FOBs that can be used.

Would someone please confirm that the 12V electrical outlets are always "live" and do not "time out". It appears that they are always "live" but want to confirm. I traded in a 2014 Lincoln MKZ hybrid on my 2019 Ford Fusion Energi and on the MKZ the 12V outlets timed out. The vehicle which I owned prior to the MKZ was a 2012 Ford Fusion hybrid and the 12V outlets on that car were always live. Maybe it's a Ford vs. Lincoln thing with the Ford outlets always "live" and the Lincoln's timing out. Thanks!

I traded in a 2014 Lincoln MKZ on the 2019 Fusion Energi and had Active Park Assist on that car. Only used it once or twice so don't miss that - - but do miss the front sensors. Also found that my Energi doesn't even have Cross Traffic Alert which I had on the MKZ and even on my 2012 Fusion hybrid! When I looked at all the literature on the Energi, I noted that the only option was the Moon Roof and with the Co-Pilot 360 set of features I thought that it included Cross Traffic Alert. Guess it pays to check all the details! Oh well, the car does have a lot of great features including heated and cooled front seats as well as a heated steering wheel - - and my favorite - - Adaptive Cruise Control with stop & go. I will miss the Cross Traffic Alert though - - saved me several times backing out of a parking spot from potentially getting hit.

Instantaneous Fuel Economy can be selected in "My View" on the left screen. That screen is divided into a left and right portion. Instantaneous Fuel Economy is one of the options that can be selected on the right side. I am also a new 2019 Fusion Energi owner and just worked through all the options in "My View".

Thanks for your input. I did prepay the lease (so no payments during the 36 months) and at this time I plan to buy the car out right at the end of the lease.

Just wanted to check in and introduce myself. Been a hybrid owner for 12 years now, 1st was a 2008 Mercury Mariner (purchased in May 2007); 2nd was a 2012 Ford Fusion. After that car was rear ended and totaled in 2016, I purchased a Certified Pre Owned 2014 Lincoln MKZ. So I've owned one of each generation of Ford's hybrids. I've been amazed at the great progress Ford has made in their hybrid technology - - with being able to drive in EV mode for higher and higher speeds (30 MPH on the Mariner, 45 MPH on the Fusion and 62 MPH on the MKZ). And the changeover from EV to ICE is now so transparent that one has to be watching the dash info to determine if the car is in EV or ICE mode! So the next logical step for me was to purchase a plug in hybrid. I had planned to buy the car outright but the great lease incentives made me go for a 3 year lease (after which time I plan to buy the car). After owning the car for only one day I'm quite happy with my decision to go with the Fusion Energi. As everyone knows, the only real downside with this car is the very small trunk. One feature that doesn't seem to get much publicity is the resistance heating element in the climate control system - - almost instant heating on a cold day. Yes, running the electric heater sure saps the battery and reduces the miles that can be traveled in EV mode. But when only making a short 5 to 10 mile run, it's sure nice to have the electric heater. I did notice that when I picked up the car, the anticipated miles in EV mode was 19. By the time I got home from the dealer (a fairly long trip of 160 miles) the readout said 21 miles. With my short local trips around town today, it's back down to 18. Guess I'll have to wait for warmer weather when I don't need any electric hear to get those numbers back up. Is it reasonable to expect that I can get up to the advertised 25 mile range? Thanks! Doug
