Curious if anyone else here has as yet received this new safety recall regarding “improperly secured seat restraint fasteners” and if anyone knows anything more than the vague info provided in the recall letter - anyone discovered loose bolts or other issues? Anything we can temporarily check...

Some forums might censor language too, not sure if you had any words in there that would have been marked “offensive” by an algorithm? Again, just a random guess.

That’s my one correct guess for the year then

I’m not an expert at these things but it looks like you’re trying to submit a blank post. In that picture you’ve only typed things in the “subject” line, but nothing in the box below where the actual content of your post is supposed to go. Which is strange because you’ve managed to make THIS...

2020 picked up in July 2020 with a couple km on the clock, now 158,323km aka 98,377mi. Still runs and drives strong, couple new CV axles, finally killed the factory brakes at around 150,000km, and cooked an AWD control module a few years ago, otherwise no major mechanical maladies.

I know someone who drives an SUV but is too short to even think of reaching the roof, so. Physical impossibility is one reason lol

I pretty much stick to a Motorcraft FL500S (I installed a spin-on adapter a year or two ago because I hated the cartridge filter), as an alternative maybe a Wix if I had to. That and a decent synthetic oil (been Mobil since the first oil change since that’s what the dealership parts guy told me...

NOT anything by Lukas, specifically the V790, but just not their brand frankly. Resolution was ok but the camera was way oversensitive, the wifi link was piss poor, the app was garbage. Just a garbage unit, hated it.

To the best of my knowledge, the only thing different between high mileage oils and regular mileage oils is that the HM versions just have a higher level of anti-wear additives and seal conditioning additives. Otherwise shouldn’t make all that much difference so I wouldn’t see why there would be...

I had some (not quite all) of the same messages all at once, turned out to be a faulty all wheel drive control module. Replaced, problem solved. I didn’t have any shift issues or messages though, just traction control/hill descent/park assist/drive modes/all wheel drive functions ALL crapped out...

143,950km (~89,392mi) and they were finally done.

I yoinked its wires and put it to death a few years ago. Never looked back since lol

Take it from me, who suffered many months with that hands free tailgate shutting on my f**king head while I was standing under it (I’m probably half an inch shorter now from all those hits lol) and not opening when I wanted it to, opening at random, etc…….you’re very very glad you didn’t get a...

Add this one to the ‘things I wouldn’t have expected to be the solution’ box. Glad it’s fixed!

My only other guess is a faulty control module or something of that nature. I assume this happens anywhere and not just when the car is parked in once specific location (making me think about interference)?
