  1. Four Jump starts needed in nine months * * * UPDATE * * *

    Low-hanging fruit is to get the battery checked. Sometimes you get a bad one.
  2. AWD and tire replacement

    I'm not a mechanical engineer and work with computers for a living. But honestly, I don't know how a few millimeters of tread difference will matter on a wheel that is 18 inches wide.
  3. Why do we think Ford did away with Eruption Green?

    There was an episode of Dirty Jobs where a guy was mixing leftover paint and then selling it. The resulting color was close to what manufacturers use as a shade of grey. Hence my "leftover paint" moniker for them.
  4. AWD and tire replacement

    Keep in mind that factory tires have a lower tread than tires you get aftermarket. So, your 7,500 factory miles might be closer to 12,000 on new tires.
  5. Why do we think Ford did away with Eruption Green?

    My theory is they want to introduce a greenish version of grey and need the leftover eruption green paint. Seriously, most of the greys Ford offers looks like they mixed all their leftover paint together. They stopped offering Atlas Blue and their "leftover paint" grey color has a slightly...
  6. 2025 Maverick under 12,000 Miles hit by school bus!

    Good luck chasing that one. You think hole-in-the-wall insurance companies are bad; you get to deal with local government....
  7. No text message announcement with Apple Car Play?

    As I tell my staff, "when in doubt, reboot."

    Low hanging fruit: delete your car from CarPlay and set it up fresh. Might fix it.
  9. Does your AWD Mav clunk in the rear when slowing down (braking) at around the 13 mph mark?

    Mine does not. It seems to want to favor engine braking more than it should, but I've not noticed any clunking.
  10. Fords screwy website

    Give it a few weeks. Depending on if they can go straight to Ohio or need to got through a couple hubs, it'll take some time for the train to get there. Then your dealership has to contract a carrier to ship it from the rail yard and that might take time as carriers like to be full both...
  11. Did Ford stop giving production details?

    To the Ford site that populates your Modules being turned on (this lets you know it’s actually built at the factory) https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt You just need your VIN. If you see results, then it is built.
  12. Anyone get this Dash Warning?

    That's what I get for reading this forum while eating popcorn. Going to be coughing that up for a while.
  13. Fords screwy website

    Known thing. Usually happens right before it gets on the train.
  14. NEW PROBLEM: Bubbling paint...

    Is there a chance it is environmental? I see you live in a state that likely uses a ton of salt on the roads during the winter.
  15. K&n cabin air filters hybrid

    I don't think I've paid for a cabin filter in a while. Dealership keeps giving me a free one as part of advertising their mobile service.
  16. Notice that my order is taking longer to build

    Be excited! The sticker popping was always a source of celebration in the shortage days.
