    And not one dent….

    I wish I could say the same thing about my 2020 ST, when it was just 10 months old, it got rained on by my neighbor's tree's acorns in my driveway. It left several dings in my hood. I was so upset! The following year the neighbor had the tree pruned and no more acorns!

    Active Braking is DANGEROUS!

    I have learned to avoid the reverse brake assist deployment by backing up more carefully and slowly. As for the active braking/collision alert for forward collisions. It has scared the crap out of me on 2 or 3 occasions on the same stretch of road near my house. Coming around a turn, an alarm...

    Leaking oil?

    It should be under powertrain warranty like my 2 front CV axle replacements a few weeks ago at 38K miles.

    Black wheel touch-up paint

    This happened to me last September on the same wheel. It was traumatic but I'm over it for months now. Mine is not that noticeable fortunately and I rarely look at it.

    Updating sync to the latest version of a home Wi-Fi

    Fingers crossed the update fixes everything and the battery won't leave me stranded again like in 2021!

    Updating sync to the latest version of a home Wi-Fi

    This was the second time in 3 years I've had to do a master reset. The first time my GPS was stuck in the wrong location and would not update with a soft reset. The master reset did the trick.

    Updating sync to the latest version of a home Wi-Fi

    Battery did cross my mind. It is almost 20 months old and the original battery from 2019 lasted about 19 months. I don't have any other battery symptoms like slow to start or auto start/stop not working but then again I didn't have any symptoms the first time the battery completely died with no...

    Updating sync to the latest version of a home Wi-Fi

    I've been having intermittent Sync and screen problems the past month or so. I did a master reset and it made the screen move faster and eliminated some but not all of the issues. It still randomly tunes to AM or FM instead of the last Sirius channel I was tuned to. Also my number of preset...

    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 dashboard says sync is up to date.

    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.

    Peeling leather on driver seat

    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...

    Transmission Issues?

    Weird I never tried that mode intentionally but have accidentally briefly engaged tow/haul mode. I will try it.

    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.
