Which engine and how many doors @SamG?
I was driving around last night in my 2dr black diamond in Normal 4A and can't get the back end to step out, even with AdvanceTrak off. Just pushes like a pig. Also some of the ESC stuff is still active, because I can feel it coming in to prevent looping...
Lol when they want you to abandon it it’s wildly in demand and worth $30k of ADM pure profit, but when you want to buy it they are taking a huge risk of having it sit on the lot.
I’d ask about a ford ESP, maybe an maintenance plan (oil changes) and I guess accept the tint. I’m sure it’s not...
I hate frivolous lawsuits as much as the next guy, but lemon laws are okay in my book.
Lemon laws are basically "make it right in a reasonable time, or buy the vehicle back"
I know there are several Focus RS owners on the forum. Despite using basically the same engine as the Mustang 2.3L I4, Ford just had to go and tweak it, and in the process ended up putting the wrong head gasket on several thousand of them.
So track record means nothing when it comes to Ford...
@flip could we get a copy of SSM 50148?
If it’s easy I’m gonna do it myself; friggin tired of trying to work a trip to the service dept into my schedule only for them to tell me it will be literally days because they don’t know when they will have an open bay.
I’ve been having DTC’s and brake...
Any post containing statistics.
Any topic that gets over 10 pages of replies. After that it’s clear people don’t read and end up reposting stuff that’s already been said 3x.
Quoting a message and saying “This ^” without adding anything else.
I know some guys who work for brake suppliers...
I wish the mesh pocket on the seat back was actually tall enough to hold an atlas. Also the door mesh is pretty much only good for sunglasses and water bottles, but I understand it makes the doors flat for storing them.
Other than that, I have about the same amount of storage space as the...
^This.
It sounds like the dealer isn't allowed to ask for a $3k deposit or whatever to convert your order.
As discussed in the various surprise ADM threads, I think anti-trust law prevents Ford from dictating the selling price.
Just out of curiosity, I looked it up.
TOMTOM offers a phone app for $25/yr that includes offline mapping capabilities and AA and CarPlay capability. So it should be the same quality as Ford NAV for 1/3rd the price.
Or you can get a standalone unit with maps and traffic updates for $125.
And...
Also where is your phone? Mine would occasionally drop if I had it in my left pocket. It seemed to do better when I had it in my right pocket, in the center cubby hole, or even up on the dash.
Don't forget about door number 3: How can we make more money? Let's move escape production to mexico. Actually let's slap some chunky fenders on it, call it a Bronco and charge $5k extra for it. Then we'll lock heated seats behind a trim level AND an upgrade package.
I have 2x 90deg turns to enter my subdivision, and when it snows I like to switch off ESC and try to hang the back out. With 4A on (ESC-off) it's pretty difficult to do. Very effective AWD system.
2H ESC off is great fun though :)
It's not the placement; it's the stupid rectangular shape with super low contrast.
Good luck trying to see the light blue on the light grey background.
Sport mode at least adds a red line but the shape still sucks. Also the redline isn't obvious. I have 10A so I'm at the mercy of the trans...
Man that would be great if it was just a ForSCAN bit to toggle. Unfortunately you have to have IDS just to program the key pads anymore, so I don’t think it will be that easy :(
Just because they cut off our features doesn’t mean they stop data hoarding.
I’ll try to find the connected services information.
Edit: looks like I had old information. Used to only be 5 years. https://www.forbes.com/sites/samabuelsamid/2019/10/14/fordpass-connect-goes-fee-free-for-life/
Honestly I don’t think there is any difference in the hardware. Look at the high package. You can get it with connected only or connected built in.
They both function the same when the subscription is active, and it would be silly to have different hardware for a software only change. Honestly...
