Hmm mine was built on the 24th

I added this to mine, and it seems that the touchscreen is more responsive than it was without it. I wonder why that would be?

So today this same guy calls me up and says that the parts might ship on Thurs or Friday, completely ignoring the fact that he told me that the parts would arrive yesterday by FedEx. A part so rare it's only found on every Fusion sitting on their lot. :do what:

The dealer is the one who called it a "recall", I was just trying to get answers.

I understand when there are problems, but on Friday of last week, the day after my car arrived, they told me about the problem in vague terms ("Something wrong with the seatbelts"), when I called them to ask about when I could pick it up. They didn't contact me, I contacted them. So they said, the parts would be in until Tuesday, but they would contact me on Monday with an update. They didn't. So I contacted them Tuesday afternoon asking if the parts came in (not mentioning that they didn't contact me on Monday), at which point they inform me that the parts wouldn't be in until the end of the week. So Weds morning, I contacted Ford Service twitter account to find out exactly what is happening with the parts and what the exact issue is. They inform me that they had given this case to the regional manager and they would contact me Weds afternoon. They didn't. Friday afternoon, my salesman calls me to say that Ford still hadn't sent parts and wasn't sure when they would. Friday evening the regional guy finally calls for the first time to say the parts were being sent by Fed Ex and would be at the dealership by Monday, but didn't have the fed ex tracking number. Each and every time I actually got to talk to someone I asked specifically what was wrong with the seatbelts, and nobody had an answer. Yes, I wouldn't want an unsafe vehicle, I have a family to protect, but I think a direct answer to a direct question is not to much to ask. So yes. I find the service I've gotten to be lacking.

I went there last Saturday and saw it in the service lot, but nobody would say specifically what is wrong with the seat belts. I contacted Ford Service on twitter and they escalated my issue to a regional manager who hasn't contact me at all either. That was on Weds. My salesman called today originally said the fix kit was supposed to show up on Tuesday is now saying Ford doesn't have them yet, and they will be over-nighted when they do. This is my first Ford, and so far the experience is a bit lacking. Any excitement about buying a new car is being replaced with frustration and anger.

Wouldn't it be more accurate to measure the distance from the seat edges to the ford logo? The gear indicator could be installed off center.

This was on engadget yesterday http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/11/bosch-introduces-affordable-home-ev-charger/ Bosch introduces affordable Power Max home EV charger range, starts at $450 Electric vehicles still have a few obstacles that prevent them from going fully mainstream. These typically center on the price of the vehicle itself (though this is changing), and its range. One other barrier has also been the price of home-based chargers. Now, Bosch is offering a level 2 (quicker than the usually cheaper, and slower level 1) home charging system for just $450. For that price you get 16 amp charging and a 12 foot cord. There are two other options that increase the amperage to 30, with a choice of 18 or 25 foot cables -- costing $593 and $749 respectively. These don't include any additional networking features and so on, but for this price, and reduced reliance on external charging networks, it'd be worth clearing out the garage for.

It's the same as the regular hybrid, it just has a power plug, bigger battery, longer EV range, higher EV speed, and no trunk space.

Hmm might this be the seatbelt issue I'm waiting on to be fixed? My HyTi showed up on Thurs, but the Service department won't release it because of what they said is a "Seatbelt recall" and the parts to fix it won't be in until Tues.

Hmm think I need to take trip over to the dealer tomorrow, and see what exactly is going on.

I was supposed to pick up my new HyTi today, but I got this from my dealer . Anyone else get this? I know there was some complaints in another message about frayed thread on the seatbelts, and there's nothing publically available on http://owner.ford.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Owner/Page/RecallsPage about a recall when I entered my VIN. Did this recall just pop up within the last few days?

Hello again, I'd like an update on VIN: 3FA6P0RU2DR310285 when you can please. Thanks!

When will the just wake up and mirror the phone screen on the MFT? My phone can do so much more than that clunky interface. MobileVNC for MFT would solve a lot of problems.
