I just got my Fusion Energi Titanium a few days ago, and I've had nothing but software problems with it so far. The biggest problem I've had is with the keys not working. When leaving the garage in the morning, it always seems to work perfectly. Whenever I'm away from home, however, there's been about a 60-70% chance that the fob will fail at the very least to let me in the car. When it fails, the first indication is that I can't just grip the door handle to get in. A little more than half the time when that doesn't work, the buttons on the key don't work to unlock the doors or trunk either. I've been forced to use the keycode on the door to get in multiple times now. At least that works, so I don't have to pry open the casing on the key to get the metal key inside, and then dismantle the doorhandle to access the hidden keyhole... In addition, when the fob doesn't seem to be working externally, most of the time the keyless ignition won't work in the car either. I'm forced to stick the fob in the center console to start the car. Thankfully, that method has yet to fail on me, but I'm certain it will eventually. I had it serviced the first time it happened (the day after I bought it). The technicians at the dealer couldn't replicate the problem, so they were going to give it back to me. However, when I went to pick it up, the problem happened again, and I was able to demonstrate it. They found a TSB related to the problem (13-4-4: http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/pubs/content/~WT/~MUS~LEN/3570/tsb13-04-04.htm), and supposedly applied it by reprogramming 2 modules related to the intelligent access. It seemed like it was fixed the first 20 hours or so (the first 3 times I started the car, it worked), but the problem just keeps happening now. I'm taking it back to the dealer to be looked at again, in addition to some other weird software-related issues I've been having (sync crashing at least daily while driving, value charging schedule being ignored, etc). Am I the only one with this problem with the fob? Has anyone else had this happen and gotten it resolved?
