It's a vicious cycle at Ford. Engineer A designs something that works reliably and then moves on to another project. Engineer B comes along and says "we can save money by changing this" and changes it. Problems ensue. Engineer C fixes Engineer B's mistakes by reverting back to Engineer A's...

It's the dealer's vehicle until they sell it to you? What if they sell "your order" to someone else, using that same logic?

That's rough. Glad you were able to safely pull over. Will be interesting to see root cause failure.

Welcome to Ford.

Why does it look so funny?

Your old Maverick looks great! I really like that color. A friend I went to high school with LOVED old Mavericks, he restored one - white with blue interior, beautiful car.

It will be very frustrating if the BAP turns out to be simply XL seats, XL grill trim bar, and XL mirror caps and door handles. I am praying each day we get some nice glossy black trim pieces and "better than XL" seats.

I just started keeping my change in a ziploc. It's insane that manufacturers don't still consider coin holders as something that appeals to consumers. It's all molded plastic, spend an extra .00001 cent per vehicle to mold in some coin organizers!
