But we can't mandate common sense, so the government has to save people from themselves. (AKA the toddlers playing behind the minivan) Don't get me started on CVD, obesity, etc ;) Food is cheap and plentiful, and unhealthy. People are lazy. Corporations greedy. And look what's happening.

That's not auto hold, that's hill assist or whatever Ford brands it as. It's fine. Don't OCD over it. (and yes it's weird to have on an automatic vehicle)

Backup cameras prevent backing over children. Plus all kinds of other minor accidents. ...but are you saying "My vehicle, my choice" ? Because I'd have follow-up questions ;)

It was the 12v battery. OP should really update thread title.

He's such a victim. Sad.

Billionaire President Bone Spurs doesn't care about anyone but himself.

Reminder to backup your stuff before recall (or any dealer scheduled work actually) work. Some people ended up with slightly different coding to get everything to work, so if you didn't backup yours, you gotta start over for the most part. Bummer.

No problem getting 100% on braking with Eco. Slippery "stops" the braking IMO. Feels so unnatural and I don't see how it can increase mpg - you can emulate the effect of "coasting" easily in Eco.

Senator, are you saying OP must have a "wide stance?"

Best protection from accidents - insurance. $hit happens. I was also rear ended in a one month old cactus grey Mav. Bummed, but got over it. More annoying than anything. Ended up at $15k or so in repairs!

I never see the need for more power on street driven vehicles. Where are you racing off to? I'll see ya at the next light. I so rarely need to floor any vehicle, but the hybrid is no slouch. I guess I do other things for excitement instead of speeding around town like a ____ ___. Curmudgeon...

Exactly. And not likely. Failed CVs are rarely an instantaneous issue that causes loss of control.

$3 of coroplast and zip ties also works, FYI. (or free if you use political signs)

Damn, that sucks. If it falls under that TSB that's rough - missed by a few months. I had a somewhat similar situation with my mom's VW a few years back. Just outside warranty, but I found lots of people that stated their similar issue was covered even out of warranty. Certified mail, physical...

17" Bronco Sport Big Bend $500 w/ tires - as new off of Craigslist Tim, you could have one of the 'younger' employees scroll FB Marketplace (or I like to use SearchTempest.com) for deals on Bronco Sport take-offs. People replace perfectly good alloys and tires all the time.

Trying to decipher: You bought steelies [OEM Mav?] to use as winters? And didn't come with lug nuts? If yes to all that - you just want someone to mail you a set of lugs from their XL. I bet there are a bunch of members that got new wheels and have their old steelie lug nuts just sitting on a...

Ok, to clarify - it is this plastic cover, right? And what is wrong with it? Does the slide not function? Does the cover have a gap? It sounds like the seat belt works correctly, but there is a cosmetic issue with the cover. Not mechanical. Not likely to get lemon law'd. Just find a different...

Heck the Mav hybrid is as quick as your current minivan (isn't that a 3.6L also?). The 2.0 Mav will be faster. On the other hand, if someone couldn't merge into traffic with an older Prius that goes 0-60 in 10 sec - it's on the driver, IMO. Any modern day vehicle is plenty fast. I think that...

What is the exact issue? This seems excessive over a seatbelt adjuster. Does it not retract properly? Is it just the height adjustment? I kinda doubt the lemon law will work. Try a different dealership and let them fix the dang thing.

I would raise a stink and be sure that Ford warranties the repair. (5) The electrical drivetrain system of your vehicle is covered by the Hybrid & Electric Vehicle Unique Component coverage for eight years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. The components in the electrical drivetrain...
