rkytop98 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Dealer called and my SE Hybrid is ready to be picked up. What have been the common issues that I need to look for during pickup? SE Hybrid Appearance Package only 1. Headliner 2. Trunk Alignment 3. Door sill ? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rprobst Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I noticed a hood alignment issue on a Fusion I saw on a dealer's lot, so I plan to check both the back and front hatches when mine gets here. Congratulations on getting yours. Looks like 2 months exactly from when you ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also check the seal around the doors and make sure it's tight. Drive it on the highway and listen for wind noise. Also see if the glasses holder rattles.

Tiblue2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Look on the rear doors right where the window meets the interior panel. The insides of mine are like dry. Looks like dry skin. I haven't taken it to the dealer yet because i also want to go on record about my transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithmcelhinney Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 What the hell! You ordered over a month later than me and mine still isn't here! Sorry had to rant... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BondMan007 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 All this talk of delays is making me nervous. I ordered on Jan 10, 2013 and was told my order was part of the dealership's 2 allotted 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrids for the month. Why do I have this feeling that the car will not arrive until March?

My salesguy was upfront with me and said 6-8 weeks for the Hybrid if I wanted to order one. If that's true, March sounds about right....

rkytop98 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 What version/trim did you order? I ordered the SE Hybrid and the only upgrade was the appearance package. I swapped to the hybrid after backing out of the 1.6 due to the recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermans Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I guess you now have to add the leather wrapped shift knob on the luxury (505A) package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dealer told me to expect 10-12 weeks due to the holidays. So I was thrilled that it took two months to the day. They did great with managing expectations.Have you tried the tracking forum? I got better information from there than i ever did from the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dealer was supposed to get me my order number this week but didn't. He said he thought it was being built this week but I need the order number or the VIN to track it. I will ask again tomorrow. Got the same setup as yours but in impact blue... Really congrats on the car! Can't wait to get mine. Saw a blue non-hybrid one at dairy queen last night and had to just go out and stare at it... -Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy314 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 My list for an Energi Ti: Things to do on car delivery:- Window sticker in glove box- NO dealer branding on car- 12 vt battery in car matches requirements in manual (Cold cranking amps) 335+ (see CMax's issues with their battery)- all door seals in place- check all doors/truck/hood for alignment and overspray issues.- Proper shift knob (leather) - Headliner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithmcelhinney Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Shaggy I see you have the G2 Integra! Loved that car (I had 3)! Well my dealer said I should expect it next week. I just did my financing through Bank of America and got a 2.4% rate! Whoop! -Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neod192 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 - 12 vt battery in car matches requirements in manual (Cold cranking amps) 335+ (see CMax's issues with their battery) How do you check this when you pick up the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy314 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 How do you check this when you pick up the car? It should be printed on the battery. I got that little paranoia tip from the CMax forums. They having issues where the car is dead only due to the 12vt battery getting just low enough to not kick the relays to the high voltage system to wake the car up. It's little things causing the small battery to not work, a mini jump wakes the car up and it's fine. There are reports the Energi were getting a little higher CCA rated batteries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
