When my 23 maverick died on I-71 headed to Cinci., I only had 780 miles on the clock. It was on a curve at an overpass with high speed traffic. I called Ford roadside service and they came in about 1 1/2 hours. I could only get it towed to the nearest dealer so I had to rent a dolly and take it...
If it would have lasted forever, I would have driven my 2000 ford focus for the rest of my life. I got rid of it at 200,000 miles to get a new car but it still ran great and all devices were working perfectly. It never stranded me in the 11 years I had it and never really broke down at all. It...
It can be done. I achieved 40 mpg in a bronco sport awd 2.0 ecoboost. I also averaged 50 mpg out of my 2012 focus with the 2.0 for a whole week. This was in town and highway driving mix. The problem is it is exhausting to maintain the concentration to do it, so to me it is not worth it. Normal...
Same here. I am getting an average of 44 mpg for 13,000 miles I've owned the truck. My highway miles are 55 mph 2 lane country at about 75% and town driving for about 25%. I have noticed that the mileage is influenced by the temp.
Yeah, I had the deep sleep problem early last year that would not go away. It would go into deep sleep with 11.9 volts showing on my voltmeter. I pestered my dealer on a regular basis until now it does not go into deep sleep and I'm still showing 11.9 volts in the morning. I'm not sure what they...
If your battery is at 11.9 volts and you are getting deep sleep, there is something else wrong. The deep sleep should not activate until the voltage drops below 9.5 volts. Take it to the dealer and see if the BMS is properly reading battery voltage.
When I ordered, the XL did not come with cruise control and I wanted that so I ordered the XLT. While I was at it I decided to add the lux pack, but had the XL come with cruise control at the time I would have ordered the XL. Ironically my order was pushed to MY23 so I would have gotten cruise...
I had the sudden braking early on but that was corrected. I've never felt any problems in reverse. the weird beeping sound however. You can get some funny looks.
The hybrid is awesome! Just take the precautions when/if you are going to let it sit for a long time. I would buy this thing over and over again. 45 miles to the gallon over the last year and smooth ride with no shifting.
My brother has an ecoboost and he swears by the collision detection. He had a car suddenly stop in front of him and the truck braked automatically and prevented a collision. He said it scared the crud out of him but it worked.
