    1.1 Years and 16k Miles, Only problem was the rear window being stuck down due to a faulty window switched. Other than that, she works smoothly as day one.
  2. Paint Chipping ??

    It has to do with the environmentally friendly chemicals used in creating todays paint.
  3. Paint Chipping ??

    This just happened today, doesn’t look like something scuffed it since there’s no scratch marks. Looks like part of the paint just flaked away? Or rock chip.. Zoomed in for detail, the paint looks really thin (this is the front bumper by the way). Original image I have owned many vehicles and...
  4. Humming Sound Coming from Hybrid Engine/Battery. Dealer not helping. Please advise.

    I hear a hum in your video, my interior is quiet. Just noticed your radio screen is black. Is the radio operational? normally when its "off" but vehicle is keyed on it'll still show a screen. Is it possible it's coming from the speakers? I know there's an audio control module that could be...
  5. Airbag Recall Experience. Now getting CEL

    Is there harm in NOT getting the recall done? Will Ford Deny warranty claims or even claims with their own service plan (ESP)? As much as I trust the dealer to ā€œfix it upā€ I don’t think they’ll do it without creating a mess and not reassembling things how it was from factory.
  6. Easy Speakers Upgrade -- drop in and no existing modifications required

    No. I haven’t I have it crossed over all the way to the front. The passengers in the back had complained about it being too loud. The positioning of the speaker does look like It blasts into their eardrums lol.
  7. Blue Tooth Dongle for Apple Car Play?

    Have that one too but their non ā€œproā€ version here works great for me as well. The biggest seller on me is the size of the dongle and the speed and reliability of it. Its easily tucked underneath the USB Port
  8. Wireless CarPlay Ottocast confirm to work

    I have a different adapter that does USB C and A but I’ve noticed USB A is just as fast as USB - C. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09WTTSXMQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details this is the one I got since all the other ones are big this one I just Velcro underneath the usb port.
  9. Big Shudder

    Ive noticed with mines too, im at 13,000 now and it hasn't done it in awhile. So I’d say its safe to say its gone. Musta needed some extra breaking in
  10. Pixelation on display screen

    Hard reboot the stereo head unit, check for updates. if not working you'll need to visit your dealer to apply that module update.
  11. Headlight issues (ODB: B1533-08, SSM 51299, 50869, 51058)

    If you have an XL or XLT. They stay on but dimmer and function as DRL
  12. Let’s try to fix this major hybrid issue together

    Sounds like Ford with their issues with the Focus, Fiesta PowerShift Transmissions blowing up. Hybrid sounds ideal in warm climates but who knows without a re-designed replacement part if issues will come up down the line.
  13. What’s your EV coach “blue bar” length?

    It does that to cycle the battery and keep its health. The Prius is the same way where it’ll never allow the battery to fully discharge or charge but keep it within a 50 - 75 % Range. Sometimes it’ll do a full discharge and charge to cycle the battery to prolong its life
  14. XLT audio upgrade questions..

    plugnplay harness doesn't need speaker wires. Besides if you tap into the back speakers like most people are doing the back speakers are crossed over for high frequencies from the head unit

    Then the dealer goes, I don’t see a problem? We weren’t able to replicate it. Just drive it till something breaks šŸ˜‚

    It’s the same one, you’ve had your dealer apply. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10208828-0001.pdf
  18. Engine misfire

    There's a TSB to fix the flashing check engine light and misfiring / rattling in some cases, but it looks like Ford needs to do a redesign of the transmission plate or clutch as it's also an issue for the Escape Hybrid. Looks to be only isolated in colder climates.
  19. Is Hybrid Compatible with Ring Car Cam?

    I use an OwlCam Similar to the Ring cam, plugs into the OBD Port. Have no issues been using it for a year. I only got the dreaded deep sleep message when I left an interior light on while the dash cam was in park mode. A quick drive and making sure all interior lights were off fixed it. If the...
