Laurel

We'll be waiting to hear the good news, and that you are dancing in delight.

All I can say is good grief! My husband just said, "I wonder if those techs even take the time to ground themselves before playing around with the delicate electronics?" I had to ask him what he meant, but it makes sense to me. You have to wonder if the techs in each dealership vary significantly with their skill levels?

What is CEL?

Thanks so much Hannah. I am copying this and printing.

Hannah how does one calibrate the touch screen? Thanks.

I am surprised the police in attendance didn't call her out on the vandalism that she did. I think in your shoes I would write a letter to the editor of your local paper including a picture and the address. Sort of public shaming for punishment to her. I wouldn't want to get tied up in court over this. But she needs to be called out over it. I'm sorry this happened. What is wrong with people?

Once I am out of the funk, I will email my Ford Canada contact and ask him for something on paper to take in to the dealership. They are just being lazy and not helpful. The last time I was in they asked if my MFT was working and when I said yes they just tuned me out over the upgrade issue. Time for a road trip to Galpin.

Maxwell congratulations! When you are through being teched out send us a photo.

Adair it is on the Ford Etis site and I told them that. They still gave me the bum's rush. I am so annoyed that I honestly don't want to darken the door of any Ford dealer for the next while. I am a black mood after reading about people having so many problems with MFT and battery stuff. It is so discouraging! Honestly I do feel like we bought an Edsel which is stupid as we haven't had any real problems, but reading the problems just bums me out. Having two weeks of steady rain is turning me into a pessimist LOL.

We're only about 10 kilometers from Blaine, Washington so your idea is not a bad one. Businesses here can be very old school and paternalistic in approach i.e. we know what is best little lady so just hush up until we call you LOL.

I have had them run my VIN at least three times over the past week--including today--and nothing comes up. This is likely a Canadian thing happening. We are usually way behind in getting anything new. I will watch an advertisement on TV and think "gee I have to try that". It will be six months to a year before the TV product gets to Canada. Frustrating at times.

I stopped in at our dealership and I think they are getting tired of me asking them about the MFT upgrade. They checked my VIN and said "no nothing". And then rather firmly said, "you will get a letter when it is out for your car". So I guess I am waiting for the letter as I have worn out my welcome at the dealership over this issue.

How did you set that up? i.e. what settings did you use?

Oh boy I hope it works out and you report back that all is well!

I am wondering if all of you get a new SD card when the upgrade is done?

Looks like the Birmingham Police wanted you and your potato to sign up and go on patrol.

Slowpoke looks like a winner. When we adopted our Tinker from a foster home, there were six other dogs with her. One little guy named George who was a chiuahua kept bouncing in the air about 3 feet up. We were told he was a behaviour problem due to hyperactivity, but we have always regretted that we didn't take him too. I'm like you and would want to keep all the foster dogs.

What a sweetie pie you are! That was so well written and so nice to hear.

GreenChicago read the 3.5.1 thread. It seems to be just coming out, and the dealership has to install it. I contacted our dealership last Thursday and they weren't aware of it and told me that we would get a letter. No letter so far. Also look at the Etis thread under TSB's at the bottom of the forum.

My husband wanted Candy Blue, but I wanted the Ice Storm. I think the Ice Storm is nice, but it is a touch bland. We ordered the colour sight unseen. Knock on wood everything has worked well on our car including the old navigation. The last time I was on the Coquihalla I was coming back from Calgary after farm sitting for a month last August. I drove straight through to White Rock from Okotoks. Just me and my dog Tinker. It was so darned hot I could hardly stand it when I left the air conditioned car to walk Tink or get gas. I remember laughing in Kamloops when I let Tink out for a little walk and she took a few steps and turned around and sneered at me. The sneer stayed on her face til we got to the coast. LOL. It sure can get hot up your way.

Hi Bruce. Welcome to the forum. We have had our SEL since the end of November. We love it and bought it in Langley. Ours was the first C-Max they sold and we have yet to see one on the road here in the lower mainland. We have some good mileage runs at 4.6 L and some bad ones --most of the bad ones seem to be short distance before the car warms up. Our life time average is 6.4 L--not horrible but not great. We've only had about a week of really warm weather and cranked on our air conditioning and our mileage plummeted. So we now keep it set at 22C and that really helps. I will be interested to see how your mileage is since you are in Kamloops i.e. hills and very hot summer weather where you will need good AC and cold winters. We do notice that when we take longer runs in the car i.e. White Rock where we live to Chilliwack our mileage is around 5 L to 5.4 L. It is quite interesting to find how mileage varies. I thought we would be ideal candidates for good mileage i.e. short little trips around White Rock. But that seems to yield the worst mileage. Nice to see another Canadian on the forum. We are few and far between. We have Ryan in his Energi in Chilliwack and Roggie and his SEL in Montreal, and me in Vancouver. We have Ice Storm --same as you.

There is an old thread about this subject, but I don't know where to find it. Maybe someone will remember where it is listed.

The build date on the site differs from my records. Disregard as the date is correct since day is first and month is second i.e. mine says 9/11/12 and mine was built November 11th.

ArizonaEnergi thanks! This one should be pinned. I registered and checked and both the upgrades are listed for my SEL. Now why doesn't my dealer have that info? I phoned on Thursday and they were in the dark.

Jus and Adair, you two are treasures!
