    Rusty Half Shafts on 5 Day Old New 2024 ST

    Not to worry, UNBROKEN unfortunately missed the point of the entire post, which was around the NEW car delivery experience vs his USED car world. It was not about the exchanging cash in the mens room at your local Walmart for a pink slip for a used 2020 ST, nor putting aftermarket LED Christmas...

    Ford's Plan for Fixing Quality - CEO Reponds

    A sign of leadership is owning up to mistakes and working on game plan to fix them instead of making excuses or pushing them off to the next CEO. Pushing problems down to dealership and sales reps was never sustainable and Ford seems to have a good game plan for setting itself up to be able to...

    Rusty Half Shafts on 5 Day Old New 2024 ST

    Again, low rent expectations that do nothing to help Ford. It was Ford Service who told me that this was "not normal" and requested that I leave the car with them for them to "replace" the parts. Why are you so utterly defensive over Ford calling out an issue on their own car and delivery...

    Rusty Half Shafts on 5 Day Old New 2024 ST

    1) No, the back ones don't look like the front ones. 2) Low rent expectations don't drive innovation, nor excellence. We all want Ford to survive and thrive and to compete against the best you have deliver cars like the best. ...this doesn't cut it even by Ford standards.

    Rusty Half Shafts on 5 Day Old New 2024 ST

    There is that nice even light orange surface rust that one might expect after awhile and then there is that rust with medium deep pits that you see on your 5 day old new ST that makes the Service techs eyes roll. This car had 11 miles on it when I drove it off the lot. Ford Service stated that...

    Any Alternatives To Swapping 2024 Badging Without Taking The Entire Front Facia Off?

    Assuming that you are extremely lazy like me….. is there any way to replace the front Ford badge on the front facia without having to take the entire facia off? I’d like to swap the blue badge out with the OEM black badge. Hopefully, this isn’t one of those, “why yes, you can…. but it will cost...

    New ST 1 Mile After Purchase

    Let me clarify, the smell was noticed upon stopping and only noticeable near the left front tire. It was not noticed while driving. a flapping sound was heard while driving.. I didn’t mention anything about fear over the car bursting into flames as the event wasn’t that acute. Per my...

    New ST 1 Mile After Purchase

    Good tip. I suspect that I had a similar issue. This one had just come in and the guys who prepped it probably forgot to remove it from one of the calipers, left front. My schedule is packed but I’ll get it in tomorrow.

    New ST 1 Mile After Purchase

    When I was driving my new ST 2024 home from the dealership I heard this continuous rattling sound while going over 32mph, along with what smelled like brake pad burn. I didn’t have time to take the car back as it was late in the day and I had to be at a dinner. I drove 15 miles on the highway...

    Day 2 With My New 2024 ST

    First off, the ride, the acceleration, and look of the ST are amazing. The adaptive cruise control worked flawlessly. I went on a 500 mile road trip after purchasing the night prior. I didn’t consider the black color of the car as from the front it looks quite a bit like a California Highway...
