"Fun" story, time. I leased a 2014 Fusion Energi Titanium on the 20th of last month. Very excited, I filled out the paperwork to get the Green CAV sticker here in California, even though they have already allocated all they are going to unless AB2013 passes. Filled out paperwork to get the rebate offered, I believe $1500, but couldn't send either in until I get the registration from the DMV.

 

All that doesn't really matter at this point since I was rear ended one week later and my car is in the body shop getting $6700+ of body work done. That's just the "funny" part. I have to say it's funny or I would cry. As if getting in the accident with a brand new car with less than 350 miles on it isn't bad enough, I had to go to the body shop today to get something out of the car and saw what it looks like now. Not a good day. :(

 

Anyway, to the subject I've been meaning to address for a week or so. Also, when I first got the car, I set up the myfordmobile app on my iPhone and iPad, and thought it was really cool that I was able to tell it what color my car was, and have that color Energi showing when I logged in. Well, something has happened, and the car is now black with no apparent way to change it. I know it's insignificant in the big picture, but it annoys me that this happened.

 

Anyone else have this happen, because I can't find a post about it in this forum, and the one for Cmax Energis has a post that Ford had acknowledged mid last month, but no solution or follow up.

 

One other thing, using the app, my car would not unlock or start the engine. Had to use the browser site. Anyone else?

Sorry to hear about the accident, as for the color not showing up I did see that a few months ago I *think* on this site or maybe on the CMax site... send a PM to FordIVTTeam and Kim can help look into it.

Thank you Jeff.  Yeah, it hurt.  But at least no one was hurt physically because of it.

 

Thank you for the reply, I will try and message Kim now.  Have a good one.

It won't let you change the color, or you can't find where to change the color?

 

If it's the latter, then

 

In the app, under the Triangle

 

My Account

 

Vehicle Management

 

Vehicles

Vehicle Name>

 

Vehicle Color

 

Save

 

That didn't work, but thanks for trying to help.

It (still!) won't let 2014's officially change the color.  It will let you set it up initially, but if you make another change on the page (i.e. vehicle name), it will default back to black.

 

I found a workaround that let me change the color back, detailed in this post.

I'm not comfortable enough with computers to do something detailed in your post, but appreciate the offer of a workaround. :)

 

Thanks, jeff_h!

Thank you Kim.  I got your message and responded.  It would be nice if photos could be attached to these comments and in private messages without having to link to them instead. :)
