Butt ugly was in the eye of the beholder. Some of us liked the kind of retro station wagon vibe it gave off. Test drove one once back then and thought it was one of the most practical cars out there. I think it failed because the sticker price was butt ugly to get one with a reasonable number of...

Completely agree. A small increase in battery capacity wouldn’t have cost too much more, but could make a big difference in overall MPG over time.

Acadia is gorgeous and absolutely worth a visit.

Was this a hybrid? We had a similar experience with a hybrid 14 yrs ago. It turned out to be a bad wiring harness. Fortunately no one was hurt, or damage done.

A mechanical emergency brake. I like having a pedal (or handle) and a strong cable as the last link between you and possible death. The new cars are all push button 'parking' brake. No emergency capability whatsoever. None. Zip. Had a family member have the brakes go completely - totally - out...

Our Ruby Red 2016 Explorer is "Lucy," so of course, when we got our 2024 Atlas Blue Maverick, it had to be "Ricky.' :D

Totally agree. Drove a 2010 Mercury Mariner Hybrid AWD (Ford Escape) until trading it in for the 24 Lariat Mav. Loved that little car, save one very scary bad-brake-wiring experience when it was 18 months old. No one hurt, and Ford took very good care of us, so no complaints. Only had one other...

Congratulations! The Flex was a very nice, practical vehicle. Too bad they stopped making them.

Shane, Prayers inbound!

Out of stock. Looks like a good net.

Lawn mower threw a rock that chipped the bottom of ours last week. Two gigantic cracks crossing most of the windshield. Truck less than 1000 miles on it. Grrrrr….!

Concur on the advantages of a hybrid. Drove a 2010 Mercury Mariner Hybrid for 14 yrs and 105K miles before trading it on the 24 Mav Lariat hybrid. Only one (serious) issue with the Mariner - brake wiring failure at 18 months. Totally blessed that no one got killed as the brakes went out totally...

Thanks!

"We turned around and went home the accelerator did it’s own thing all I did was apply brakes. " Can you amplify that a little? I rear ended a lady in a McDonalds drive through when I couldn't stop the car. It seemed like it wanted to just accelerate into her. Being brand new to it, I didn't...

Thanks!

Great discussion until the fistfight began. Please take these things outside, guys.

Ours did exactly the same. Apparently the programming has changed over the years and they behave a bit differently now.
