LIGHTNING_KID

Hi all, just took delivery of 2023 ST FHEV. It’s a great vehicle so far returning solid 42MPG, 650 mile range. Finally getting cool mornings where set point on HVAC is at 72 auto, ambient around 48. Car blows AC cold air at key on, after a few minutes it settles down acting as it should. Normally the system would provide a very slow ramp up based on temp through flor and defrost…not panel and definitely not at key on with blasting AC. Anyone else seeing this and what did the dealer do to fix? Dealer telling me a month to get it in…thanks!

Any regrets on the bulb change? Did you use the same company as your original purchase? Still loking to get HID in before snow flies...L8R-

Hi all, Has anyone had an issue with slow/no refresh of the outside temperature readout on their car? Sometimes it takes 2-3 key cycles to get it to read the correct temperature...my '06 Zephyr had this happen, after two trips to the dealership (one PCM flash, one AC control head) the problem was corrected, hoping this is not the case again...my car is '10 Fusion Hybrid w/navigation unit. Thx-

Sorry if this has been asked but has anyone else had any issues with the BLIS lights staying with nothing to trigger it as well as the back up assist staying on full alert intermittently? Car is 2010 Fusion Hybrid...The three sensors on the rear sensors are clean as a whistle (as is the rest of the car), when it works it is flawless, when it flakes out well... Thx-

This is intersting as I saw a MMH on a dealer lot (stock unit) a couple of weeks ago...hopefully you get some good news soon!

Wow, a picture is worth a thousand words on this one...I'll be ordering mine come Monday, thanks for posting!

Have you continued to haver the reset issue? Mine has 150 miles on it and did it this morning...as you noted, no difference in the vehicle operations, just appeared to be a reset to default type of thing...will continue to watch it...

Thanks for the answers as well as your impressions, it sounds like you have had HID for a while and are used to it as am I...I'm trying to get an idea as to how the stock Lincoln is rated, it appears it may be a 4300 but can't fiond that answer yet...would just assume to duplicate that as I don't want any hassles from the police over it. The place you bought from has a pretty darn good warranty! Only thing that is throwing me right now is the huge differences in prices between different companies, trying to decipher why (hype/name vs. true quality) as I want to do this once...willing to pay more if it is justified by superior quality. Why did you buy from these people? Past experience? Thx-

Where did you get the kit from? HID is something I got very used to, that is the only thing that I would add to my car when it arrives. Have you had a chance to use them at night?

nelsonlu Thanks for taking the time to write comments again on your car, the 1000 mile mark is an important one! While I am patiently waiting as many others, it is good to see impartial discussions like yours come up, it makes the wait worth it! My confirmed build date is 4/23, we'll see if that happens, meanwhile, keep the posts up, good or bad-

No finace deals/cash back on the Hybrid Fusion via Ford Credit...

I was looking to get my order in today for a fully loaded Fusion Hybrid just to hear that there is no allocation for Detroit area dealerships untill June. We also own a 2008 Escape Hybrid and love it but it took over four month to get. Not sure if I am willing to wait for allocation of June as the vehicle will not show up un till August assuming it is a clean build. Anyone else hearing this? :angry:

New Models Product Development Center or Pilot Plant in Allen Park. Heard a bunch of metal model makers were put on ILO.

For what it is worth, the article I read indicated that the vehicle needed to be ordered or delivered by 3/31 so regardless, you should get you tax credit...important if anyone here went through what my wife went through with her 2008 Escape hybrid...5 months http://www.freep.com/article/20090128/BUSINESS01/90128121
