I have same age and milage as yours. I used Ford points to purchase the fluids from the dealer and changed the PTU at 8k based on lots of chatter here about underfilling by factory. Mine was full and fluid looked new so I didn't look at RDU. I plan to change it at my next oil change though...
There was a bunchof GM cars using the Suzuki 3 cyl 1.0L engine back in the day, they were actually well thought out but unless it had the turbo option it needed to have 0-60 time measured in minutes... Only one I every messed with overheated on the interstate back when speed limits were 55...
I don't particularly think the OE tires are that great so most tires will likely be an upgrade.
I have looked at the CC2 for my Honda pilot but a black Friday sale on Pirelli scorpion a/s plus 3 tires a few years ago peaked my interest, 70k treadlife and 200 cheaper for the set. They were...
Just wondering if the install height of your cooler is higher than the transmission side level check, might explain why fluid came out. I would think ideally you would mount it lower than fluid level.
There are good and bad in any profession. Yes, everything past the useful advice of measuring the depth was for my own amusement. Using real data and numbers is great advice though, best to make decisions, especially financially impactful ones with facts and data.
Measure your tread depth, most tires wear about a 32nd for what you have on it, that is not enough to matter for the awd system. But pay for a new set, what do I know, I'm just an engineer. Tire diameter changes more when the sun hits your tire so just replace one side for half the cost, if...
I have learned similiar lessons. It is ashame this happens on a warranty repair. Similar thing happened to me with a new Honda for a 6 dollar door switch that popped out. They set a tool box on a shiny new black car and scratched it all up and then denied it. They tried to buff it out but...
I have a 2023 EB 16 months old with 6200 miles but sold another car we owned so plan to drive this about 10-12k per year going forward. I also have ford pass points expiring soon so thinking about putting the points towards extended warranty. Truck has beeen perfect so far.
Has anyone with a...
I agree, terrible, looks like the rear of the last gen honda pilot, has exact same problem with the tailights.
I used to work in automotive, specifically making headlamps for a while, so quite sensitive to ugly, and don't understand why the the designers don't see it, but believe me the people...
Wow, honest dealer or were they trying to avoid a free oil change you had coming. I always change myself, nobody trys to upsell me, I can pick the interval which is usually 40-50%, but truth be told I like to change all my vehicles Memorial weekend and Thanksgiving weekend as 6 months apart...
As an owner of black cars, never use the car wash unless you don't care about swirls. I have 4 black cars, wash at home, doesn't take any longer than going to car wash. As someone else said two bucket method is best practice, idea with that is removing dirt to prevent scratches, so you have a...
Look into paintless dent repair. I dinged my VW by accident of course the week I bought it, my kid drove it to school and someone sat on the hood a few years later leaving too big dents. I took it in and they wanted 150-250 for the hood repair and agreed to do the ding for 25. Normally they...
That really sucks, but have had similar experiences in other vehicles, got lucky once that the bumper cover popped back into place for me. If you only had 1 or 2 broken clips that may have worked but sounds like you have more so nothing really to retain it. Other than getting the new parts...
