Does anyone know why I have to reformat my USB stick each and every time I want to add songs to it? While I'm able to add files on the stick, the car doesn't index them, and therefore will not play them. The only way for the car to see it, is to reformat the stick each and every time I want to add. Really stupid logic design if you ask me.

Really dumb for any maker including Ford to have DST as a feature when a manual reset is required. Thanks for the tip Murphy. BTW, I discovered that while the car in plugged in, you can only turn the car on (but is says you have to unplug first), but you have to unplug it to turn it off. If you attempt to not turn it off, it stays on. Another oversight by the designers of Ford. Some simple code could fix this. If external power detected, put car into safe mode power on. If external power dectected while car is in safe mode power on and the power button is pressed again, turn off power to car. Seems simple to me.

Anyone know why the clock hasn't rolled back an hour yet in the car? I set all this up when I got the car. I've been very frustrated with all my other cars that had this feature and it never worked until I manually changed it, and then it would roll back, at which time I had to move it forward again. It's been about a month now and still nothing. I fear if I manually change it, then it will decide to roll back like all my other cars do. What is the point of having this feature if it never works? BTW, getting 175 MPG. Last time I filled up, was July 17th when the price of gas was $3.45, it's down to $2.34 now, and I still have more than a quarter tank left.

Murphy. Finally got a chance to try the diskpart, and it worked! Thanks.

I ran 1350 miles on 9 gallons of gas over 2 months, that's 150 MPG, and an average of 175 MPGe. All without worrying about where we went, but used careful management of the EV Now and EV Later options. I would have kept going, but I knew I had to make a major trip, so I filled up. My next goal is to get 2000 miles on a single tank. At one point in time, I got the MPGe up to 240. Average temp during this time period was 80, but there were several days in the mid 90's. We are now hitting June, and the start of 100+ days. I'm up to the challenge, I hope the Energi is too!

I check my email every single day looking for replies to my emails to which have have sent at least 5 of, all with no responses. I got your PM's on this system, but honestly you have to pick ONE system to communicate on and stick to it rather than bouncing from system to system. My last email was a simple one, It said : Before to move forward please respond to this email to verify you are getting my emails. Sent it over a week ago, and still no reply.

I don't understand, I responded to your email already. It is exactly the information that was supplied in this forum.

Well even though Kim chimed in, I don't have a lot a faith that this will resolve my issue. She has already passed this onto some one else, and so now the whole process of answering the same tired questions start all over again. Interestingly enough, I asked for a direct phone number to call in my reply email, that went unanswered. So instead of getting the "let me transfer you to that department" on the phone, I'm getting that same treatment via email, and with email it is A LOT slower. About to give up on this App and Ford all together. I like my car, but customer care really sucks after they get your money.

Seriously? I've done all of this 3 times already. How is doing it a 4th time going to magically make it work? Again, I have gone through all the steps of setting this thing up and waiting that stupid 24 hours to confirm it within the car 3 times already, and have deleted and reinstalled the app on the phone just as many times and it is still all X'ed out. I've confirmed the website stuff, and I'm still at the same point I was when I got the car 2 months ago. I would really like to see a Ford rep chime in on this nonsense and straighten things out. So far those yahoo's at the customer care center at myfordmobile only seem to know how to do is pass the buck. I mean they got my money, why help me any further?

When I log onto the website of myfordmobile it shows me battery status, charge settings, vehicle location, remote control. I only wished the app provided this information. I've tried to use the app to start the car in the garage of the house and me sitting at my desk which is only 10 "real" feet away from the car (-minus a few walls), but my router is on my desk and I have a fiber connection running at 100 megabits, and it never ever works. All the options are still X'ed out in the App. On a positive note, it has now been 4 weeks since we did a fill up, and only just now hit half a tank and have gone 800 mile. even though the onboard system says 159 mpg, we are actually getting 133 mpg. I foresee us going north of 150 mpg on average.

Iphone. I don't want to log onto a web site, I want to use the app. My leaf app was up and running before I left the dealership. This app sucks. (and full registration process means YES to all 24 hour responses...I've done it 3 times now, and still all the options are X'ed out in the app). I want to be able to control / use the functions this app allows, but for some unknown reason, everything remains X'ed out. Honestly, I don't know how Ford thinks is a winning situation. You never allow a consumer to have to wait 24 hours to respond to their own authorization. Dumb. Mark me as extremely frustrated with this app.

Well, I've gone through the entire registration process with the app, and I have very limited access. I can only check the charge status of my car and I have the option to remote start with the phone, but that never ever works. All other options are still x'ed out. I have no idea what to do to get this to work. I have tried multiple times to get this to work and nothing helps. Some professional insights would be most appreciated. I hate having a fully loaded energi, and I can't use all the options.

Well I have tried all formats, and I still only get Device not supported. Yet every computer I plug it into works just fine. I've tried playing the music from the device on the computer just to make sure it works, but as soon as I plug it into the car. Not Supported. Very frustrating not to be able to use a key feature of the entertainment system. Formatted using FAT32, and all music file formats tried, and my only result is Device not supported.

I really don't get this. I have an 8 gig stick that was originally formatted using windows XP pro, and I have a 16 and 32 gig that were formatted under Windows 7 Ultimate, and the only stick the car recognizes is the 8 gig stick. the other 2 it says unrecognized format, even though each stick has the same exact files on them. Since XP isn't supported anymore by Microsoft, what format do I have to use so that the Fusion Energi recognizes it? Any one got some gifted insights into this one?

When I first saw the files, and the way they are listed as 1,2 and 3, I assumed they were continuations of just one manual. when I clicked on 3, I then discovered that it was from Feb of 2014. Not Nov 2014 as you typo'ed since it hasn't happened yet. ;)

The manual on the website is from June of 2013, and my printing is from Nov. of 2013. How frustrating that FORD can't keep all it's facts together. I suppose I'm more frustrated with how they explain how to do something. I'm replacing my yellow headlights with Ultra bright white beams, but their instructions are so basic and without diagrams it is totally frustrating. from page 256. 1. remove the headlight assembly. 2. remove the service cap. 3. Disconnect the electrical Connector. 4. Release the retainer spring and remove it from Headlamp. 5. Install new bulb in reverse order. No figures/examples of what it looks like. Seem they are more interested in saving money on printing costs than helping their customers.

Can Someone expand the acronym ICE for me? I've tried looking for this everywhere and can't find out what it means. BTW, probably going to put gas in the car Monday, (the dealer said they would give me a second tank for free) we currently have just short of 1K mile on the first tank of gas with an avg. of 79.8 mpg. Still have (according the nav computer_ 120 miles to go on the gas.

Okay. Drove exactly 6.9 miles all in EV mode two times. So it does have coasting Regen, even though my manual doesn't indicate that it has it. Good to know. (I stand corrected, but, again this is another time the manual was wrong since there is no mention of charge assist in my manual for coasting regen.) Driving in L mode - Regen Coasting miles were 1.4. I only hit the brake to ensure a complete stop. Now on this, I tried to allow the coasting to do most of the work, and the regen braking avg was 84% Very non-aggressive. My normal braking avg. is 99%. Driving in D mode - Regen Coasting Plus Braking miles were 1.4 I'm going to take it out again tomorrow and retest using good braking at 99-100% and see what the results are. 3:30am, and I only got 2 hours last night so I'm tired.

I see the input arrow and the output arrows during normal operation, even it there is regen during the process, it is very very minimal on the order of volts, which is why it never seems to regen. I'm going to go out an test it now when there is no one on the streets and only use L coasting "regen" and see what the recovered energy is and will post the results.

of course going down a hill it will regen, and you won't be using as much because of gravity, C'mon that's a given. Tell me it's the same on a level grade, it isn't, otherwise why would you ever need a gas engine?

All my arrow systems are turned on. My manual was printed in Nov. 2013 for the 2014 year model. Pg. 78 has to do with the moon roof, and page 178 is electronic parking brake. There is no mention of Charge assist in my manual.

Ok, just did a full range of testing, and read the manual just to make sure, and I was right all along. There is no always on coasting regen on this car. Driving in L only does engine compression braking, but no Regen. Having the grade assist option turned on does allow for regen, but ONLY if "the vehicle determines the amount of engine motoring and high-voltage battery charging".Ref., Page 166. This means that unless you are going down a grade of less that 5%, there will be no Regen coasting unless the car determines that there will be. On level grade no Regen at all. I just tested my car on all the conditions except for steep downhill (in the Dallas are we have none of that). L - Engine compression braking. No Regen arrows or of energy into battery. D with Grade Assist - Level and downhill test produced no Regen arrows or energy back into the battery. L with Grade Assist - Level and downhill test produced no Regen arrows or energy back into the battery. For reference, please see Page 166 of the owners manual for this. Disappointed again. :(

This is just another reason, why a car company shouldn't be a software developer. Grrrr. I'll give it a try, but this 24 cool down period really sucks.

Yes. I did. Got it twice, and I know cause I thought it dumb to have to wait 24 hours for this process when the Leaf App was an instant access system. Before I completed both confirmations, I didn't have access to remote start/lock/unlock.

Oh I finished the reg. Because before it completed, I didn't get any options like remote start/lock/unlock.
