    Welcome to the 50K club

    Mine started happening at about 10K miles so don't be surprised if it starts going blue. The software update doesn't fix the problem but a new rear camera did fix it for the most part. It will go blue now but only for a second not like before where it would stay blue until you restart.

    Ford web Dashboard vs onboard settings

    I have a new annoying problem. A few times this week, after starting up first thing in the morning, the audio system is either off or switched to AM radio which I never use, instead of SiriusXM. Also a few times the preset pages are defaulting to 2 instead of my preference, which is 4 pages of...

    Ford web Dashboard vs onboard settings

    My automatic updates have turned off twice in the past few weeks and I've turned it back on. Also, my Sirius XM a couple times was switched to AM radio after cold start in the morning. Weird glitches al the time with Sync.

    Yes that looks similar to mine but mine is just starting to separate.

    Peeling leather on driver seat

    I noticed mine the other day too, right below my right shoulder on the backrest. I know I push or lean there getting in and out which causes more wear. I have 38K miles on mine. Honestly, when I got it back in late 2019, I didn't think the seats would wear as well as they have so far. I'll try...

    Updating SYNC in the ST (Wireless)

    One time I did an OTA update and it took several days if not weeks to complete. So usually use the USB.

    Updating SYNC in the ST (Wireless)

    It can take days to update over wifi espeically if it gets interrupted to save battery. I've done it both ways but more with the USB which takes less than 30 minutes usually.

    Blackstone Oil Analysis Reports

    I don't love my car enough to get it a blood test! LOL For all I know he has prostate cancer or multi-organ failure! Maybe if I had a DBX or Purosangue but even then I'm too cheap to pay for that. It should be covered for those high-priced exotics.

    Name ONE ST Feature others might not know.....

    That's how my last 2 Lincolns were also. The right side is a wide angle mirror anyway so headlights are not as large and bright in that view. The rear-view mirror also auto dims.

    Debating on Fords Extended Warranty

    I bought mine back in December from andersonandkoch-ford-warranty.com paid $1525 for a total of 7 years/85,000 miles with rental car included. That was the best price I could find after comparing several dealers.

    Turning Off Highway Warning Notifications

    I think he means the Sirius XM Travelink Traffic Update Notifications. They are annoying same with the weather alerts.

    Brake pedal noise new 23 ST

    Auto-hold is one of my favorite features and it's my first vehicle with it. Now when I drive other vehicles it seems such a pain to have to keep your foot on the brake pedal at red lights. LOL

    Oil life meter

    Haha I guess I'm OCD and always checking that screen. But mine is consistently skipping over 95%

    Oil life meter

    Mine has always displayed 100% after an oil change and then at about 500 miles or 4% of oil life used, the meter reads 96% then will display 0% when it should be 95% then after a few days will resume normal display of 94%. It has done this for over 3 years since it was brand new. I've never told...

    Transmission issue

    Yours doesn't sound like the same problem. Mine was replacing A-Clutch and a Bracket or something and bunch of other parts.
