  1. At less than 17k for mileage, the touch screen on my 2013 is starting to fog over in the upper right-hand side. It's quarter sized and looks like a small white comet. Sure hope it doesn't get bigger.
  2. Well the stink is gone, hopefully for good. I see no other permanent options other than what the TSB recommends.
  3. The service department did some "research" and found there is a TSB for the AC stink. Unfortunately, the dash has to be removed to replaced the climate control housing. My car has less than 15k miles and I've had the ac start-up stink since new, and has somewhat permeated the interior of the vehicle.
  4. My service job requires that I back in my company vechicle, even so, I rarely look at the screen when backing in my fusion.
  5. Deejay, it's probably the stop and go driving pattern. My SE 2.5 is getting me 30+ mpg, that's 70% highway miles though.
  6. I was at the dealership yesterday for more recall work, and my first oil change. Stopped and talked to the body shop manager, and spoke about the trunk lid again. They took the keys, the car, and came back with it in about 5 minutes. "How does it look now?" he asked me, and I said, "looks nice and even side-to-side, but now the tail lights are offset almost a quarter inch on the tops"...back into the shop with my car, he returns five minutes later, the tail lights are even, but we are back to twice the gap on the driver's side. They are bending and flexing the trunk lid to try and even up the gaps, with no success. "There are no mechanical adjustment points", he told me. I left with my car and headed to the service center for an oil change.
  7. I have the 2013 SE w/sync. I've listened to Sirius since I've owned the car, so I hadn't listened to FM until recently. It is absolutely terrible. No matter what station, it's not bad reception, it's the constant chopping of the high-end tones...it almost sounds like stereo to mono, and back and forth. So bad that I refuse to listen. I'm going to mention it to the dealer when I go in for the latest recall work.
  8. Not sure, but there is definitely some kind of transition going on. It sounds like that is exactly what's happening. Do you know any more about this?
  9. I cancelled the Serius radio, and have been listening to local FM. It sounds as if the radio goes from decent sounding stereo, to muddy mono, and back and forth. Very annoying.
  10. My 2013 Fusion pops open to 15" when using the fob. Is it spring loaded? Speaking of trunk lids, I was on the Ford lot yesterday and of about 12 Fusions on the lot, almost all have the offset trunk lid gap.

    mileage

    Mostly highway driving to work and back, averaging 30.4 with I4 2.5L, ac used 40% of the time.
  12. Just over 5k on the odometer. My black cloth seats are beginning to fade, so I bought one of those solar windshield covers. I will probably purchase seat covers. Also, blemishes are appearing on the interior pillars and arm rests. Yellowish stains, like a glue.
  13. And I wish you luck driving your worst offender.
  14. I haven't brought it to their attention. I have the car in semi-storage, 1,500 miles on it since october. I did show the trunk gap to the dealer right after purchase, they blew it off. I will take it in this spring for recall work and bring it up again.
  15. Keep an eye out also for scratches on the front plastic fascia directly below upper chrome grill, possibly from grill installation. (Yup mine has scratches.)
