Unfortunately he's just one Maia and can't be everywhere at once...so stuff is still getting past him.

Ford, like many other companies, are learning that AI isn't ready to replace people who do even somewhat critical jobs. It is a tool that, left unchecked, will (at least currently) fail to do the job it's intended for and cost more than the employees that were doing said job.

That's unfortunate that your dealer and sales person have been rather uninformative. Yes, there are ways you can track it. One is VINView, which your dealer would need to sign you up for...it gives you text messages every time there is a status change on your rail car. Your dealer can actually...

I will admit I haven't driven a 4-door variant, because when we were looking we were looking specifically at 2-doors because it'll be my son's primary vehicle in about a year. Very little legroom in the back seat means very little chance of extra passengers, meaning fewer distractions for a new...

Yeah definitely sounds like the cell modem went kaput. If you want that functionality back, good chance it'll have to go to the dealer. A battery reset MAY help but I'd be ready to take it in.

I'm in the same boat. I love manuals, I enjoy driving them...for fun. If I ever get another musclecar I'll be looking long and hard for a manual (I miss my '68 Firebird...400 pontiac V8, 4-speed 'rock crusher' Muncie...I had a BLAST in that car). But for my daily drivers? I'm tired, boss. Tired...

I'm not suggesting you pull anything apart. I'm saying do a little simple diagnostic work - find exactly where the leak is so they can address it. Find the entry point of the water, not just 'oh it's dripping down my A-pillar.' Figure out where the seal is weak, and point that out to your...

How many posts about this are you going to make? You've made several here, and one over on FTE. Are you taking the panels out at all, or are they staying permanently in place? If you're taking them out and then seeing the leak, then this is 100% operator error. If they're not being pulled out...

Some of the Ford connectivity stuff can be pretty useful, but most of it can be done just as well through something like CarPlay or Android Auto, so it's not really necessary. However, they're not gonna refund that, since it's part of the 'as built' and was ordered with the vehicle (even if a...

The guys on here who have the manual and the 4-cylinder, love it. I haven't driven one, because they didn't have one on the lot when we got ours, but we were also getting it for our son's primary vehicle in about a year. Didn't want to train him to drive a manual on something expensive to fix...

I'm not sure on specifics to the Bronco, but if it's like most new vehicles, yes it provides power, up to 30 amps for a short time, otherwise it's enough to run lights and some light-duty accessories, and it DOES charge a standard deep-cycle battery if you are running for half an hour or better...

Alternator has no issue keeping ours above that threshold, but then it mostly goes on longer drives of 40+ minutes every time. If you're short-tripping it all the time, no, it won't keep it charged, but that goes for basically any alternator, not just those with BMS.

Since IIRC this is rack and pinion steering, this would be adjusted by adjusting one tie rod end out and the other in. Will slightly change how far each direction your wheels can turn but not by enough to be noticed. It's...possible...to do this yourself in the garage, but you've got to make...

IIRC someone had posted a thread at one point about how their vehicle got pulled for a random quality inspection - meaning they went back over the whole thing to make sure everything was correct. He wasn't able to find that out until after the vehicle was at the dealership. It's possible you've...

I put my old adjustable hitch in the Bronco (a cheapy) because I have a better hitch for my truck that is rated for what I tow with it. The adjustable hitch (this guy) is rated for a 5k trailer, which is more than the Bronco is rated for and more than I'd ever want to put behind it anyway. Due...
