Fusion Hybrid was told 15k since ICE is only used part of the time.

Pesky oil change reminder light coming on all the time. I have heard different intervals, but the 15k is when the first is due, not 10k. How do I turn this off - deep in the dash somewhere?

My USB jack goes out out for weeks on end, then mysteriously reappears for a couple weeks! So i did the fix posted deeper in this forum

Known problem throughout all the forums. Here is fix I just did this morning: Locate the interior fuse panel (open driver's door, lay on back, and to the left of steering wheel under dash). Pull cover off, under cover will be a fuse puller. I just did a reset for my dead (well - intermittent) USB jack. I pulled the TAN #13 fuse (5A). from my 2010 Fusion Hybrid. Without the car on, pulled the fuse, waited a minute, re-inserted, and works _ BUT: The manual and the fuse box labels are labelled a bit differently. Go by the manual, as #14 fuse could look like the #13 fuse because of a funky marking on the panel cover. You'll see! Thanks everyone for their help!

I never looked at battery "eye" in the few months I have had car. Dealership did a full test on battery, and said it was fine. I guess if it happens again, I will ask for a new battery. For now I will blame it on the 12v charger being plugged in and on 24/7. Thx

Well, first issue with FFH. Battery was dead after 7 months. Dealer found nothing. I DID have a Droid mobile phone charger plugged into the live 12v outlet all the time. Maybe I trickle drained my battery? On the flip side, the dead battery made my pesky audio usb input issue come back to life ans sync up. Any ideas, similar complaints, gripes? thx!

The remote start was a factory installed option on my 2010 FFH

I weened off the 2004 F-150 into an Edge lease for 3 years until FFH in Sept 2010. But the gas mileage, technology, and and size (I live in the city) seem to be a great combo. I do miss the cargo capability.. but thats about it.

Sorry for the late response on this, "rfruth" and "gl3". I get some wind noise on the highway, but drastically reduced by the wind fairing and the way I like to listen to music (real loud). A roof rack, even with having to take of front wheel, is much better IMO for the FFH: - With a wheel-off mount, unless you have a garage issue, the clearance never has been bad - You rear camera may or may not be partially or totally blocked out depending on the manufacturer/style of hitch rack when no bikes loaded. The green/yellow, and red overlay on the screen when may though help you park knowing where your rack lies in the "pattern". Would be rendered useless IMO with a bike or two on it, but again that depends on geometry of bike and hitch rack style. - Finally, and worst of all, the back-up sensors would be on ALL THE TIME with a loud, solid tone when you put car in reverse, unless you disable it. My old F-150 would have a convenient manual switch to turn this function off on-the-fly (more of a towing vehicle, I guess) but the FFH only lets you totally disable it in the dash menu. - I think it's harder to steal a bike (even with locking system) when it is visible, on the roof. Makes me feel better seeing bike when on a post-ride meal, or running errands from a store. Hope this helps!

Which fuse is the Sync fuse? And what else will be erased if i do this? All my Sat radio presets, preferences? Thx!

Every few weeks my USB decides to work, hence letting my iPod work in the armrest. When it works, it works for a couple weeks, then stops syncing with iPod for a few weeks. Any ideas? Thx

Search for HexoMat. Got one off of eBay. Love it.

Well, I park on the street, so the only reminder would be an ultra-low branch or a parking garage, I guess. But good point; I went from a rear hitch mount on my Edge to this - I will have to give a literal "heads up".

Finally getting around to post this. Found a leftover 2010 with every option including remote start (great today being 16 degrees and windy in Philly). I think the bike rack must decrease the mileage a bit, but didn't really notice a big change before and after it was mounted on my 15 mile mixed urban/suburban commute. I guess highway mileage would be worse off than city with the aerodynamics being changed. I did get a wind fairing. Oh well, I am turning into a mileage geek...LOL. Car is a great for getting me to rides/races, but the storage is a bit tighter than my Ford Edge. But the gas mileage is double - yes - double in the city.

Do you find the tinted windows (and the internal reflection) hinder the BLISS? Thx
