    Dash cam

    Installed the Rove R3 dash cam last year and never looked back. It's a 3 channel with WiFi and GPS. It almost covers 360° around the vehicle using the front cam, rear cam and in-cabin cam. It can run 24 hrs so you can log parking incidents or have it on standby and it will automatically activate...

    windshield replacement - go with Ford? or aftermarket?

    Just got a Safelite replacement last week. The tech was friendly, informative and efficient. It was replaced at my house in about an hour including recalibration. Everything is as was. Without insurance, it would have been close to $1100. The deductible was $200.

    Adaptive CC

    Yes, I usually have my run of preventative measures also. Weird thing is, I was completely stopped and so was the vehicle ahead of me. When ACC first stops, it counts off about 4 seconds and then rests in "stopped" mode. Right as it hit the 4 second mark, it took off like nothing was there. Good...

    Adaptive CC

    Good to know about the ACC performance in ECO mode! Generally, I use ACC in stop and go and on the highway. It's always been reliable except for this one incidence. As mentioned, the car in front was off center and only covered half of the width of the ST. Not sure if that's a factor and if the...

    Adaptive CC

    The highway is basically the only place I also use ACC but I was just demonstrating it to my sister while in town. That must be nerve wracking to have it not stop in time or at all. You've seen more incidences with it than I have.

    Adaptive CC

    Right? That's a heck of a deficiency though, it would have rammed the car in front of me. That's the first time I've had any problems with it after driving this vehicle for 2 years. As far as the oil mishap, I pretty much limped it to the lube place. It was only about 5 miles. I'm curious...

    Copilot-360/Adaptive Cruise Control vs. BlueCruise

    I temporarily use "lane assist mode" if I need to use both hands to open a drink or food container. If I approach the 10 sec time limit, I nudge the steering wheel to apply user input to alert the computer that my hands are still on the wheel. The only other reason I can think to use it would be...

    Parking sensors yelling at me...

    That's good to know because 3 of mine have gone out in the last month. I was going to do a TPMS reset to see if that was the problem but upon seeing your post, I'll probably just buy new ones.

    Copilot-360/Adaptive Cruise Control vs. BlueCruise

    Steering assist in Adaptive mode is an 'assist' feature, not a fully automated system. You will feel that if one of the lane lines on the road happen to disappear. The sensors will then have no point of reference and the vehicle will either disengage the feature or wander off course. Totally...

    Adaptive CC

    Hi All, I was using the cruise control yesterday in adaptive mode. The car in front of me slowed down to a stop and the ST followed suit and stopped as it's supposed to. After the 4 second interval, I was waiting for it to go to stop mode when all of the sudden, the ST took off and I had to...

    Gas Treatment

    Just filled up with Costco and it was slightly cheaper than any of the competitively priced stations. I have a new friend! ;)

    Gas Treatment

    Their rotisserie chicken is 25% larger than any of the grocery store's and half the price at $4.99! Hoping my ST says the same about their gas!

    Gas Treatment

    Yes and Costco is considered a top tier brand. Costco's Kirkland Signature gasoline contains five times the EPA detergent requirement in both regular and premium grades. I'll be visiting them next stop.

    Gas Treatment

    Thanks for the hits peeps! I had been using Crown because of its competitive pricing but I know it's not a top tier fuel. That's why I was looking at an additive. It's cheaper than Shell and other top tiers, to use a less expensive fuel and add the detergent. I will however, consider Costco and...
