    Adaptive Headlights question

    That's a feature I had on my last 2 MKZ's and honestly don't miss it. It was so gimmicky! I do miss the adaptive suspension!

    Rear window heating elements, warranty denied, touch up kit?

    This was a common problem on my 2020 and I had the rear glass replaced under warranty. The new glass was peeling out of the box so they ordered a second one. It has been fine ever since. This happened early on during the 3/36 bumper to bumper warranty. I posted about this 4 years ago! Show...

    Car Battery Recommendations?

    Mine is 4.5 years old and was replaced under 3/36 warranty at 19 months old free of charge by Ford. I believe the replacement Motorcraft warranty still has some pro-rated coverage left on it.

    Sync

    I'm on 23188 and lately I've had to soft reset several times a week. My battery is over 4.5 years old and that may make it worse somehow too.

    ST Line logo in grill

    On the 2020 to 2025, I could spot a fake ST if it didn't have ST badges on the grill and tailgate and it also had a different grill, essentially a Platinum grill painted black. Inside the 21 inch wheels there was also the red caliper missing.

    What’s everyone getting for fuel economy?

    My average speed around DMV traffic is in the low 20s MPH so I'm averaging about 17 MPG. On a road trip, with no traffic, cruising at 75 MPH I get at least 22 MPG.
