What owners wrote
I have just over 1000 miles on my 2013 focus ev ... Took it for its 1st power car wash today @ delta sonic ... About 10:00 min driving away from car wash, vehicle abruptly "shut down" requesting an "immediate safe stop" and the "yellow wrench" showed on dash. After about 30:00 min while scheduling a tow from ford roadside assist, vehicle abruptly "cleared itself" and turned on ... Drove home w/o problem ? Wondering if "flood sensor" sensed too much water and disengaged battery pack ? ...
The car wouldn't start (electric car). A instrument panel message said see owners manual along with red exclamation mark showed. Had to be towed to dealer. Was diagnosed at first with a bad high voltage battery. They ordered one ($25,000 battery). One week into waiting, ford (factory) said its not the battery and ordered a ground cable from the high voltage to the electric drive motor. It took 27 business days to get the vehicle repaired. Another visit, in sept. 2012 the cars interior heater failed.
