Great question. I was just complaining (again) to my wife about that today. Our Flex has the wiper control on the left stalk and on our Escape it's on the right stalk. Yes Ford, be consistent.
That's great that they are going to replace it, but I wouldn't hold my breath that the replacement will be better. Please report back and let us know. I have doubts that it's stainless based on your pictures and others I've seen. My '14 Escape and '09 Flex never rusted like that and they have...
I didn't like the cap-less system at first but after dealing with it for 14 years it doesn't bother me, and I think I prefer it. I have an extra funnel in the garage as well as in each vehicle. I also keep some gas that sometimes needs to be rotated. The main thing for me is that depending on...
I'm looking at the Diamondback too, if/when I get my Mav. How long does it take to remove the middle section of the cover and how long does it take to put back?
That's my experience too from multiple dealer's oil change places. They especially like leaving out screws and bolts. I believe that most who think they have great service don't check the work.
I went back to doing my own oil changes after multiple problems with Ford Quicklanes. My experience is that there aren't many (or any) good places to get it done and if you don't check the work you may not know about the bad job. I've seen:
- Too much oil added.
- Not enough oil added.
-...
I like it. Having the option of an easily removable topper would be nice. I wish the price was lower, but it's probably reasonable for what you get, especially when compared to the Flated topper price.
For once, the good news is that I don't have my Maverick yet. The bad news is that a guy crossed the centerline on the expressway and hit the side of my Escape. He admitted it to me immediately following the accident but then denied it to the police. So it's my word against his. This leads...
From my experience the Ford Quick Lanes are no better than the corner quicky lube. For a few years I quit doing my own oil changes since Quick Lane was actually cheaper with a free change after 4, but that's no longer the case. Between cost and after all of the issues I had between 2 Quick...
