Tremors (and Lobos) have different suspension bits compared to other models. Not sure about the Bronco Sports. I think all models use the same ball joint & control arms though? Anyway, CB - stay off high speed roads or twisty canyon roads until fixed!?! Edit…my lobo has recall 26C10 - but I...

Yes, the Recall System works great. Practice makes perfect I suppose.

Hopefully the Maverick Hybrid will have a better reliability record than the Escape Hybrid. Not a great vehicle to compare your Maverick Hybrid to! I dislike being negative - so I will stop. Like I said, respect to anyone who takes their Maverick to 200,000 plus. Even more respect to the...

Look, I love my Maverick and would buy again happily. But seriously - anyone expecting to drive past 200,000 miles will be running a gauntlet yikes. Respect to those folks!

The subset has grown larger with the latest “stop drive” recall. Wonder if you’re on the recall list?

Yep - Hybrid owners on this forum swear 95% of the Maverick Hybrids will last 200,000 plus miles. They crack me up to be honest:)

Drove a 2004 Pontiac/Toyota Vibe/Matrix that was built in Fremont CA as a joint venture. 229,000 with nothing but scheduled maintenance and tires/wipers/etc. Takata airbag recall of course. At trade in - GMC sales man bought it himself for his daughter after dealer low ball offer. Also drove a...

Maybe the “Quick Shift 7 Speed” transmissions in our Lobos are not as fuel efficient as the regular 8 speed? Same EPA estimates though. I also drive like an old man because I am one. Although I keep it in Sport and use the paddles. 20mpg now after 2,000 miles. Was lower during break in iirc.

Plant is in Hermosillo. But the defect could come from Ford Service Depts following incorrect instructions for certain warranty work. Still don’t know the cause….

A quick google search will explain how the brands get different amounts of additives into their octanes. Did not mean to derail this post on performance though - since additives play such a minimal part in short term performance. The topics of additives in octanes has been discussed in other...

Do you know what 6 Sigma Quality means? For every “lemon” there should be a million or more “peaches”. Quality is Job 1.

Or maybe traces it by VIN to folks who had their CV axle replaced on that side…

Typically need crashes & injuries before recalls issued. Not always though. Need to do a forum search for control arm failures…

Or Fluffy.

Or a robot glitching…

I’m living under a rock when it comes to girlfriends. Not complaining really - kind of quiet & peaceful 😌 This is an amusing “Top Gear” torture test of a Toyota with cruddy “fit & finish”:) :

High praise - but would be higher if this was your first Ford after owning Toyota since 1996. Kind of like only owning Tesla and praising the fit & finish of your latest Tesla. My passenger side front fender will squeak when pressed on and my hood’s alignment is kind of funky. This does not...

I never stop on railroad tracks. So if I hear a train horn - I’ll freeze. My inner Darwin tells me to Stop, Look, and Listen:)

Nice:) I’ve yet to go 100mph. Been into the 90’s & the EB wasn’t even breathing hard! My “Italian” Highway is I10 East/West in Southern AZ. Two lanes in each direction with cactus in between:) Plenty of Semi Truck traffic though - but occasionally a big enough gap opens up to let ‘er rip...

Good point. I was watching a RDU fluid change video and the the tech noticed the exposed wires on that harness. He stopped the RDU work to wrap some “spicy” tape on the wires. Says the exposed wires look & taste delicious to a mouse. Edit - If he followed this forum he would know to wrap it...
