Are you using a cheap phone charger in the power point?
Some of those cheap Chinese chargers give off a lot of RF interference blocking the TPMS signals.
Their getting a higher % of warranty claims with spark plug issues in those date ranges & are fishing for more data
As they get more data the date ranges may be expanded & a TSB may be issued
The smell is about right for burning coolant, they started using a bittering agent in the coolant a number of years back to stop pets & wildlife from drinking it. If its not misfiring then its most likely the cooler
Id like you to adopt me if your buying your kids a Maverick
Promise Ill show up for Fathers day & I know how to use Forscan so that's something we can bond with!
Braided lines actually do help, they don't "balloon" anywhere near like generic lines
In racing it makes a difference but for the average guy not so much
PS: DOT 3 does not absorb water as fast as DOT 4 so the old guys are sort of right about flush intervals
This is what we use at the Dealer
Not cheap
Personally I think wiping the seals down with silicone spray will work very well also but Krytox is a lot better in the tracks
