Remember that the dealership is only concerned about keeping you vehicle going for the 5 year warranty period, after that they would love to replace your engine. That is why I do not go to the dealership for oil changes, I can go to any oil change place and get a full synthetic oil change for...

Trust me I get what you're saying, I live in Winnipeg, but I just find that the wipers on the Maverick look like they are not adjusted properly and completely out of whack. I used a windshield cover in the winter so I don't have a problem with snow.

Counter acting wipers that disappear .

Hopefully they will take the opportunity to correct so short comings, the 2 that come to mind are the annoying dial shifter as well as adopting counter acting wipers to replace the current system that never looks like they are fully down.

I have installed some lights in the box using a control board wired to one of the accessory wiring points (via pig tail) . my problem is they work for a while then they stop working . Once I remove the under hood fuse box and re-install it then they work again for a short while, then off again...
