There's a big difference between the on-board MPG displayed on the dash and what I calculate at each fill up. The display reads 19.5 MPG when my actual MPG is 17.5-18 MPG. My average MPH per tankful is usually between 25-30 MPH due to stop & go traffc in mixed driving.

Agreed that extreme conditions are different than average, normal use. My 2003 Infinti had auto temperature control and quickly became a fan of that and other convenient features that all vehicles seem to have these days. Back to the parking brake discussion. I won't ever miss the days of foot...

I am trusting through normal use and practice not blind faith! Also note I said sometimes the engineers know what they're doing. My laundry list of defects, failures and warranty repairs on my 2020 prove that the engineers do not always know what they're doing, especially when they trust the...

UPDATE: I went in for an oil change on Thursday, and they confirmed both CV boots are leaking and must be replaced. They ordered parts for me and one is on backorder. This will be under powertrain warranty with no deductible, as I am at over 36,200 miles. My Extended Warranty would have covered...

I've only used that defrost button once or twice a year in extreme weather, i.e. sudden temperature drop, heavy snow/ice. It's pretty rare. Most of the time my last 3 Ford vehicles with auto HVAC automatically turns on the AC compressor when humidity is high enough to cause windows to fog up...

I don't understand why some don't know how to use an automatic e-brake. It's not that complicated and it does not rev, chirp or almost hit something unless you have leg muscle spasms and blame it on the feature. I think these are the same people who don't know how an automatic HVAC thermostat...

This is especially true in the Snowbelt, so I agree. But here in D.C. we barely get a trace or 2 inches of snow. We get a blizzard once a decade it seems.

Hence why people get AWD vehicles. I will never own a 2WD vehicle ever again after 13 years of AWD. I had a RWD 2003 Infinti G35 and it was terrible in snow even with stability control and traction control. My previous 2 AWD vehicles were FWD bias 2010 and 2013 MKZ's. They were quite good in...

I don't think any vehicle has a volume for turn signals.

I do the same thing. I watch most times I start remotely and no smoke. Knock on wood! I have 36,000 miles

Don't give up on it! My dealership has fixed everythiing for me the past 3 years and I'm keeping it. I had a lot of work done on mine over the past 3 years. The latest is I took it in for an oil change 2 days ago and asked them to check my CV boots/joints. They confirmed both sides are leaking...

I believe this is a federally mandated safety thing with Fords & Lincolns and probably other brands when the Sync system is down or updating or low votage or other electrical or audio problems. My 2013 Lincoln used to do the same thing once in a while, from the dashboard/steering column area...

Slippery Mode keeps power going to all 4 wheels all the time. If you put up display on the dash you'll see the difference.

That's exactly what I did back in late 2021. Then it started happening more and more frequently so I took it in for the recall early 2022. Interesting that this one is another software update. But if it happens again after the update, they will have to replace the camera again.

My 2020 didn't have the issue until about 10,000 miles or so or about 11 months. Then it got worse and worse. Then they updated the software which didn't fix it. So they replaced the camera about a year ago. It's been better but still get the blue screen for a second or 2. Before it was blue...

LOL

The trail and deep snow/mud mode also have F-150 I believe. Every major YouTube review in 2019 about this vehicle talked about this cool feature. Ironically the Fusion was discontinued the following year!
