I don’t recall stating that my mechanic was doing the oil changes. Is the tire jockey doing the alignment?

I think more people have been killed because of distracted driving than complete front end failure. A good mechanic who actually checks your car when they do your oil change will spot issues that may become serious problems, is the answer to a safe automobile. I happen to have one of these, and...

Supposed to be, but only to the original owner I think.

That's not lane centering.

Maybe all things were in that price range, and our father's wages allowed the average family to live comfortably back then. Nice cars were $2500 and monthly payments were $70. Back then everything was relative. It's no longer relative!

I find it hard to believe that you would be scrubbing tires unless it is doing NASCAR back-and-forth scrubbing tires clean. I don't use the lane keeping at all. The lane centering is super useful on all driving on my unit. There is no more steering movement than what would occur under normal...

Sounds like an upsell to me! How do we recoup the money on the tire sale?

It's nice to see a couple on dealer lots where you can actually test drive one. I ordered mine with no clue about the vehicle as far as ride, comfort, or quietness or power. Folks who had one were right about them, and that's all I had to go on.

If it's out of warranty, find a good mechanic who'll do a swap for you, and will find a rebuilt or good used tranny. Dealers are nuts with prices.

That would only happen in the U.S.

So why do you keep it?

That would probably be the worse thing to do. You have to deal with the bare metal issue. Fender flare will just trap water, and the rust will flourish, but it will hide the rust formation for a while longer.

It's probably something that can be silenced in the menu.

If you are using the advanced cruise and when there are no vehicles in front of you, you will get a single alert, bing, bang , or bong, and it will say CANCELLED . No vehicles in front of you.

I had one on my 2011 Ranger, and it was still in good condition when I sold the truck in 2024. Just used Mother's back to black a couple times a year. I ordered the Ford hard roll up on my Maverick, and I'm happy with it as well.

Add thin multiple coats. Don't go heavy all at once.

They have it because that is my color.

I used a product called Scratches Happen. Simple to use. Matching colors and clear coat come together.

I'm finding that to be more and more not the case. At least in my home town most dealers are using private body shops. They just supply the parts to the shops.

Not sure your numbers are correct. Industry standards are not that high anymore, and the Maverick low end appears to be 3.1. Whatever the case, why would one wait this long to check into repair. This didn't reach this level of deterioration over night in a location which is extremely visible.
