Two problems related to electrical system have been reported for the 2012 Ford Focus Electric. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My vehicle experienced a stop safely now message while driving. Power were cut off and the vehicle stalled in moving traffic. My vehicle had done a recall on the power harness to address the stop safely now issue but I don't think the recall fixed it completely.
Just turned in an original charging cord under recall (the cords plug would tend to overheat and was a potential fire hazard) and got a brand new cord from ken grody Ford, carlsbad, CA. My first thought when looking at the new cord was that the electrical cord (19' long part) looked unusually thin. With the new cord, the approx 19' part of the cord gets warm, all 19 feet! they obviously used too small of a wire gauge in the new cord, and this in itself is a safety hazard in my opinion. I specialize in selling electric cars, and I'm always charging various makes and models in my garage on a 15amp/110v dedicated circuit, and have no issues with other charging cords.
