    Whistle sound when pressing on the gas pedal

    This may be happening to me at 52,000 miles! My rear axle/suspension feels bouncy and feel resistance and shaking from the back.

    Expended Warranty

    I searched several dealers back in November 2022 and the one I got was the cheapest in the country. It was not negotiable but was discounted at the time.

    I don't see anything saying saying Signature Assurance on my documents. That must be a different type of contract. Mine was from a dealer online application and paid $1525 for 84 months/85K miles $100 deductible and first day rental with pickup/delivery service. I have 2.5 more years left on it...

    Rear End Failure

    After having the front CV axles/boot replaced, then the front axle disconnect actuator TSB, now my rear axle is lumpy, bouncey and noisey. I feel like it bounces more over bumps, acceleration is kind of lumpy, I'm gonna have the entire rear end, axle, differential and shocks inspected. I really...

    I never heard of that deal. Is that on all ESP's? I have 7 year/85,000 PremiumCare Ford Protect.

    The whole point of buying a new or newer car is to have warranty protection. That's why they cost more than old cars with expired warranty. So I respectfully disagree with this. In my opinion, the qualtiy of the diagnoses and repair depends on which dealer you take your vehicle to and whether...

    Expended Warranty

    I purchased a 4 year ESP for about $1500 1.5 years ago. I have yet to use it but still glad I got it. Every repair since then has been under powertrain warranty or recall/TSB so totally free of charge.

    Backup Assist, Hill Start, Advance Trac, AWD Fault...

    Amazing you were still on your first battery! My first one lasted about 19 months or 17K miles. Now I've been on the second battery for about 34K miles or 3 years.

    Key fob lost power on me

    The vehicle is supposed to warn you that the FOB is low on battery. At least that's what my 2013 Lincoln did. Sometimes mine says key not detected if it's behind my wallet in my front pocket.

    Key Fob Question

    I've never replaced my batteries in the fobs but I get it sometimes if my fob is behind my fat wallet, which has the data protection inside of it, which blocks certain frequencies.

    "Clack" Sound In Reverse

    If I had every noise on this thing addressed under warranty, my car would always be in the shop. I've accepted a long time ago that this vehicle is not well-designed or built and was brought to market way too soon. Every day I hear and feel something new literally from the powertrain, axles...

    Code P051D

    Low speed acceleration is not smooth almost feels like it's stalling sometimes and you can feel the torque going to the front even on a light throttle tap. The power delivery is just not smooth anymore. They reset PCM after the repair/deletion of the FADA. I think they missed some step in the...

    Code P051D

    My car drives like shit now for the past month after the FADA "upgrade." Next oil change I'm gonna have them look at it again. No tunes, bone stock here.

    Wipers stopped..inoperable!!

    Hopefully you still have the 3/36 warranty or an extended one.

    Explorer Grille/Brush Guard

    I'm not putting a chastity belt on my Rapid Red ST. She's allowed to have fun in front and her trailer hitch is also exposed. She's not an STI afterall.

    Leaking transmission

    Mine was rebuilt at 25K miles and now I'm at 50K miles. There's a TSB for the 6-7 gear shift problem and A Clutch and clamp replacement.

    New SYNC Update 23188

    That's the Infotainment Anti-Christ! LMAO It made me raging mad for about 5 long months last year!

    New SYNC Update 23188

    I bet your on Sync 3.4 version 22251. Your temporary file folder gets filled up and you run out of memory. That's when all the problems you described and others start to appear. After suffering through it from April to September of last year, when the update was released... My memory problems...

    Auto Up Windows

    This was a feature on my 2013 Lincoln MKZ. i could hold down unlock to pop the sunroof and lower all 4 windows with the one touch. Then I could hold down the lock to close all 4 windows and close the sunroof and sunshade! I had the panoramic (HUGE) one piece class roof.

    Window Oddity

    I had the auto up feature cancel so I had to "relearn" it by closing and holding the button down a few seconds. I also noticed the window will stop going up when auto-start kicks in say at a drive thru as you're driving away.
