Thanks for this info. As a test of what 120V can do to warm up a car, I plugged in my little ceramic heater and let it run for about 30 minutes. It was in my trunk, with the seats down and the airflow pointed towards the interior. The temp in the garage was about 30 degrees. After the 30 minutes I got in the car and could barely tell that it was any warmer, yet those ceramic heaters are really pretty efficient. The moral (for me) is that I shouldn't have expected my 120V charger to perform heating miracles when it is so cold out. I'll have to wait about 6 months to see if it can cool down the interior in the summer.

Now that everyone's GO Times seem to be working, do we all agree that they don't do too much in the way of pre-heating the cabin (when its 35 degrees outside)? I really like the Energi, but am underwhelmed by this feature fow which I had high hopes. My anticipation was a nice warm cabin that would let me basically use just the heated seats on the drive, thus saving about 4 miles of electric range here in Kansas City. Apparently a 220V charger has the power needed to do what I want. When I use the AutoStart feature the car is nice and toasty in a few minutes, but uses up some of the HVB. Using Go Times, after 20 minutes the air out of the vents is barely warm. (Car in garage at about 35 degrees)

My Go Times were not working, that is nothing was happening, no fans, nothing, then I had the TSB software update and now the fans start running, the battery is full (no charge ring glowing), but the cabin does not heat up, only cool air is blowing out the defroster vent. None of the other posts with this same problem seem to have a resolution associated with them, except possibly that using the 110 V charger we shouldn't expect much heat. I do expect a pre-heated cabin, otherwise what is the point of preconditioning while plugged in? On that topic, why does MFM have the cabin pre-heat as an option, i.e. what is the point of preconditioning except to heat the cabin?

I have about 2700 miles on my FFE Titanium and had the Go Times not syncing problem that was finally fixed with a TSB software install. Mechanically, the car seems very solid and so far all the trim is staying in place. I agree that the car is so new that reliability ratings gathered in early/mid 2013 should taken with a grain of salt. It seems the service departments are not so sure how to work with them at this time, mainly because of the software, electronics, and HVB integration. I previously owned a Prius as an early adopter and never had a single problem with it in 6+ years, however it is not a comfortable car.

My sincere thanks to posters referencing TSB 13-05-28 reprogram of FCIM! The dealership was unaware of this update, but after giving them the specifics, they found the update, installed it, and now my GO times work. FYI. I tried all the other options suggested, such as making sure the climate control was set to Auto, programming via MyFordMobile, making sure the car was locked, making sure the HVB was fully charged, performing a reset, etc -- none of them made any difference. The TSB 13-05-28 update is the fix for Go Times not responding the being programmed.

I had the Stop Safely Now message as well as a service engine soon, plus other messages. The car wouldn't start at all, meaning it wouldn't "go", even though the battery indicated it was full. It was towed to the dealer and I am waiting to see what the problem is. The car only has 2,500 miles on it. You might want to just take it to the dealer to head off future problems.

Can you share what the resolution was?

Did the dealership indicate that you could have updated the software yourself? It would be great if the fix was simpler than taking it to the dealership.

I just joined this forum mainly to try to resolve the GO times issue. I can remote start, remote lock and unlock, set GO times, etc. -- BUT, nothing ever happens at the appointed time, that is, no heat, no indication of fans, nothing. Yes, it is plugged in. Yes, I set the ambient temp. Yes, I tried setting climate control to AUTO. Yes, it is cold in my garage. Yes, I called Ford for help and the dealership and they all act awestruck and dumbfounded. I performed a Master reset, nothing. I disconnected the HVB and the 12V battery for 1 hour, reconnected, tried GO time, .... nothing. After a master reset and hard reset, I checked to see if I needed to update the software using the Sync website and it indicated the software was up to date.
