They keep voting Democrat there so they get what they voted for.

I always find it interesting that recalls occur and all to often no parts are available for the recall yet they keep on pushing out the brand new vehicles with the parts they cannot get to satisfy the recall. Their priority is not the post purchase consumer experiencing the problems. It's all...

Well, I’m pretty sure I did until you decided to chime in and resurrect and old thread. Must be a slow day for ya.

What are you talking about being a 1-time use? The stock drain plugs are not a 1-time use. If you've been replacing yours everytime than you are a sucker.

When I had my 22' ST I used a simple oil based black paint pen on rim chips. It looked fine but granted, they were only chips and not larger scuffing. For larger areas I would use a good quality spray paint and mask off appropriately. That's just my opinion.

I've just never seen it happen during the same year of a refresh.. that's a big F' you to customers IMO.

Ford has always decontented vehicle as they cycle through their current generations. This is nothing new and it is a profit driver for Ford. It only benefits them, not the comsumer.

You're way off on the torque specs for the lower strut bolts. I added a Traxda lift to my 25' ST in Jan. or February of this year. I had to use my big torque wrench to torque them properly.

So strange.. Mine has been affected 3 or 4 times right after updates happen.

And if you have an auto start/stop eliminator, you once again have to unhook the negative battery terminal for a little while and hook it back up for it to work properly. WTH is it with these updates that disables the auto start/stop eliminator.. . After this October update, my start/stop...

Or... the issue could be due to this recall notice I just received. Apparently the dome light is a affected item per this letter.

Until you have certain over the air updates. Certain updates deactivate the S/S eliminator and you need to unhook the negative battery terminal for a few mins and then hook it back up to have the S/S eliminator work correctly again. I've had (2) updates that messed with it and that is the...

Not all updates affect it. Only some here and there.

I don't believe its the auto S/S eliminator that is problematic itself. Ford over the air updates affect it sometimes and the fix is to reset everything by removing the neg. battery cable. I believe the mandated start / stop is going away with the Trump administration so possibly Ford will make...
