How do I know when to get new brakes on my Ford Focus?

The best way to know is with a brake check. You also want to stay on top of your manufacturer suggested maintenance intervals for Ford Focus brakes. Generally speaking, front brake pad wear may be significantly reduced in electric vehicles due to regenerative braking.

What do I do if my Ford Focus dashboard warning light is on?

Your Ford Focus dashboard warning light might be on due to a number or reasons. You may also have a warning light on the dash regarding your high voltage system. Stop by Firestone Complete Auto Care for an electric vehicle diagnostic to learn more.

Is it normal for my Focus to leak water?

It is common for electric cars to have some water accumulation underneath them after using the air conditioning system for a bit of time. Electric car A/C systems use receiver dryer assemblies to help the refrigerant stay clean, and this process can create condensation that drains under the vehicle on warm days. Noticing a bit of water under your Focus shouldn’t be a cause for concern, but significant amounts of water or any coolant leaks could indicate an issue with your cooling system.

2017 Ford Focus EV Services

Does your Ford Focus run differently than it used to? Maybe you've felt less "pep" in its acceleration, or it feels like it is taking forever to go from 0 to 60MPH. If that's the case, our technicians can run through a free* electric/hybrid vehicle check to get a deeper understanding. There could be an issue with the high voltage cooling system in your Focus -- if the high voltage battery is running hot, it will limit the battery’s performance. Then again, it could be that your Focus has Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in one of its electric modules. Firestone Complete Auto technicians are trained to provide conventional and low voltage services for all electric vehicles, including your 2017 Ford Focus.

Certain Firestone locations also have advanced/high voltage services for electric vehicles like the Ford Focus. High voltage services are any that include taking out the Ford's high voltage, service/safety disconnect plug/switch, servicing any high voltage cables, the power inverter, the high voltage electric machines/motors, the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, etc. Call ahead before making an appointment to confirm the high voltage services at your closest location.

Your store's high voltage electric vehicle service may include:

Electric vehicle diagnostic: Once we identify the symptoms, a diagnostic is the next step we take when you bring your 2017 Ford Focus in to identify the root cause. With the information gathered, your expert technician can further investigate any electric vehicle problems and decide if more analysis is required to complete the fix. No repairs are performed without your consent.

High voltage battery cooling inspection: Your technician will examine the Focus's high voltage battery filter, if applicable, and clean the battery's ducts. (This applies to air-cooled high voltage batteries. Liquid-cooled or refrigerant-cooled high voltage batteries are inspected differently.)

High voltage cable inspection: Cables can get damaged. In this inspection, your tehnician will examine the exterior cable jackets and connectors and test to make sure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis of your Ford Focus. If the cable needs to be replaced, they'll let you know.

Isolation test: This test involves using a unique tool to see if any high voltage parts are "leaking" electric energy to the Focus's chassis.

Remove and replace high voltage battery: Is your Ford Focus's high voltage battery a goner? Electric vehicle batteries can sometimes fail sooner than expected in hotter climates or if you often use Level 3 fast-charging stations, since these stations may heat the battery more. We can replace your electric vehicle's high voltage battery.

Health check for the power electronic systems: We'll check the electric drive machine(s)/motor(s), power inverter, and/or regenerative braking in your 2017 Ford Focus.
