I recommend posting this in a separate thread.

First, thanks for posting the "fix." Perhaps it was coincidence but my steering gear failed late last year at the same time that my mileage dropped down to an average 32mpg from the mid 30s and then a week later down below 28mpg in late November last year. Unfortunately my 2010 FFH has never gotten above the mid 30s in mpg though I do live in the mountain state of Colorado. After resetting the battery date this week I am back up in the 34 mpg range (I purchased in late 2010). I have read through the whole forum and drive the vehicle correctly to maximize mpg so I am waiting to see if the rebalance cycle helps to get higher. I have also had the wrench come on at highway speeds for many years but without any noticeable issues or codes detected. If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know. I am surprised no one on here has mentioned any other major issues with the 2010 FFH. Perhaps they have been addressed elsewhere on this forum but I wanted to mention a couple other issues in case anybody has similar problems. The first one was the most dangerous and was related to a sensor where a message showed "pull over safely now" and the engine would shut off, which was quite scary. Once I pulled over, I could put my vehicle in park and restart. Any reason why Ford would prevent this vehicle from restart in neutral like any other vehicle? Thankfully the sensor was replaced under warranty. A second sensor issue that I had caused my ac to be stuck in the heating defrost cycle. I temporarily installed a resistor behind the glove compartment to fool the sensor before I was able to get the sensor replaced. This temporary fix restored my ac but didn't prevent ice from forming so I would have to turn off the ac occasionally. If anyone has any similar issues I would be happy to help out.

even the dealer and sales rep thought it was black (the tag on the keys said black)
