    Disappearing coolant?

    Do you have white smoke coming from your exhaust? Did they do a combustion leak test?

    Leaking oil?

    Just dropped mine off for this issue. Also, I noticed either diff fluid or oil on my trans pan. Any ideas as to how it ended up there?

    Noise at Idle

    I hear ya. I haven't seen anything on this forum quite like what you are experiencing.

    Noise at Idle

    Sounds like it could be a number of things from something as simple as the dust cover contacting the flywheel or something more serious like rod knock. Grab yourself an auto stethoscope and see if you can pinpoint. If you can pinpoint from top end around valve covers, could be valve or cam...

    Alignment/Steering Linkage Issue

    Tire pressure is good around and newer tires so no issue there. Ford had me bring back in again this morning to fix the steering wheel issue. Drove it off the lot and the steering wheel was even more off center!! Taking it back in for a third time. Has to be a steering column/linkage issue. I...

    Alignment/Steering Linkage Issue

    185lbs. At lower speeds the pull is not very noticeable at dead center. However, anything over 40mph, which is basically every road in FL is very noticeable and pulling me into the median or other lanes.

    Alignment/Steering Linkage Issue

    Just took the vehicle in to check out a misaligned steering wheel. Pulled slightly to the right when wheel was dead center. Did an alignment now it's pulling slightly to the left with wheel dead center. Trying to figure out if this is an alignment issue or steering linkage issue. Any thoughts?

    New Member in Tampa

    Nice to see both Cincinnati and Tampa present here. I moved from the Cinci area 10 years ago to the Tampa area. We have a Skyline 10 min from the house in Clearwater that we frequent from time to time.

    Extended Warranty Question

    It's the most problematic vehicle I have ever owned. My 68 Barracuda has less issues. The bumper to bumper expires at the end of this month. I still have a couple more years on the powertrain coverage, where a majority if the issues have resided. Trading this thing in at a massive loss sometime...

    Extended Warranty Question

    Ford service depts have been nothing short of a let down. Nothing but under qualified techs and service advisors with crazy turn over rates. I've had to bring my vehicle back immediately a few times after driving it off the lot for issues they say they "fixed." The extended coverage they...

    Extended Warranty Question

    Ford Extended Coverage. I called Ford directly and they told me tough s**t. Fortunately, I found a service dept that can get me in this week.

    Extended Warranty Question

    I have an extended bumper to bumper warranty that expires on 12/31/23. I have called Ford to schedule some repairs along with a recall but they cannot get me in until after the warranty expires. My question is, will they honor the warranty since I called to schedule and told them the issues...

    6 Faults and AWD Module

    I had the same faults and it ended up being an issue with the transfer case. Replaced under warranty and has been good ever since.

    New Potential Buyer

    Issues aside, I think you really need to consider the depreciation rate on these things. Worst I have ever seen in any vehicle that I have owned. I want to say I paid $56k out the door in Jan of 22 with 20k miles. Now, the trade in value is roughly $33-35k. Granted, I bought this when the market...
