  1. I do not have to turn the lane keep assist every time I drive...that display is always on for me, every time I use the car.
  2. Had my wife drive me around with me in the back seat. It sounds like the noise is coming from the plastic molding around the sides of the interior...basically all around the rear window. Tried putting some pressure in various spots with no luck getting the noise to stop...it is LOUD. Going to take it back to the dealer to get it checked out along with the check engine light. Unacceptable for a car with 500 miles on it.
  3. No, like I said, more of the geiger counter noise. Not sure if the noise is related to the check engine light, but I ran the vehicle health report and just got a generic message "Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Regulatory". The sound has been happening about 2 weeks, the check engine light just came on today.
  4. Opened up the trunk and looked at the bars...they are zip-tied together and I can't reproduce the rattle sound by moving them around or trying to make them vibrate. It almost sounds like it's coming from the battery compartment. I tried driving around with both back seats folded down, and the sound does seem louder. It doesn't sound like metal rattling either, sounds more plasticky. On a side note, as I was trying to diagnose the sound, the check engine light came on, so that just makes my day.
  5. I have had my new 2014 Energi Titanium for 2 weeks. Pretty much since the day or two after I bought it, I've heard a rattle from the back seat or trunk/battery area that is very persistent, even on relatively smooth roads. It sounds like the geiger counters used to measure radiation, but constant. I took everything out of the car last night (car seats, loose change, etc) and drove around and still heard the noise. Has anyone else had similar issues? It's driving me nuts as it is quite annoying for a brand new car to be rattling constantly in good road conditions.
  6. I have had no issues with the climate control. While I to try to skip it and use just the seat warmers (I live in Omaha...high of 3 on Sunday), I do use the climate control when I'm hauling around the kids, and it works great then. Seems to me when you kick it on, your estimated range on EV drops 3-4 miles, so definitely not a deal breaker (for me anyway). I've only had mine for 2 weeks, so I may be wrong, but I believe when you are setting up a go time, that you are setting up your car to be preconditioned, if that makes sense. Also, I test drove both vehicles, and the only difference I found between the FFH and the FFE was the EV ability. Otherwise, I found them to be identical. For me, the choice came down to cost. I could get the FFE for about the same price as the hybrid with the $4000 tax credit, and my drive to work is about exactly 20 miles, allowing me to use EV mode for pretty much the entire trip. Yes, in hybrid mode, your getting about 4 mpg less than the FFH, but with my commute, I more than make up for it with the ability to run solely in EV. Right now, I'm averaging just over 60 mpg, have 500 miles on mine, and have used just over half a tank of gas.
  7. I finally got mine working...I think their timers are off as to when you get the followup message. Still weird how there is such a wide range of vehicle descriptions for the same vehicle.
  8. I have 2 identical garage door openers from craftsman. However, one was manufactured in 2011 and one in 2013. I can get homelink to work with the 2013, but not 2011. Anyone else having homelink issues?
  9. Mine shows Fusion Titanium...I have 2014 fusion energi titanium. Been having issues getting the second prompt to complete myfordmobile.
  10. I also am stuck on step 3. Initially I got the first prompt and saw the "countdown" to 24 hours actually decrease in the app. Then it went back up to 24 and stayed there...hasn't moved since, haven't gotten the second prompt.
