  1. There's no touch up paint that Ford sells, just go to auto parts store that carries Dupli-Color paints and see which wheel paint matches your wheels. Most Ford painted wheel are the same color. Advanced Auto has it.
  2. Better then the 3.5 upgrade amd tidbit minor upgrades??
  3. I don't understand the thumb touching the button silvrsvt? Is it because he touches it too soon..??
  4. I loved this part of the article. Ford is also planning another downloadable MyFord Touch upgrade this summer that will simplify some features and streamline some consumer-reported issues. From The Detroit News: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20130617/AUTO0102/306170086#ixzz2WVcTOv4P
  5. Any survey from your dealership like Sales Mgr or Service Mgr is just a feeler for what you think as to their service. Ford surveys will have a non-email return and a survey completion ending with a survey number.
  6. Super nice vehicle. I wish I could get that front grill on my Limited..
  7. I think they are talking about regular SYNC without MFT/Sony radio and then the MFT with Sony radio along with Nav if ordered.
  8. I test drove a 2.0 Taurus back in Nov and was not impressed with it at all. The 2.0 is just not enough motor for the Taurus, as I had to use much more gas pedal in keeping it moving in traffic. I then drove the 3.5 V-6 and that made all the difference in the world. The 3.5 this years model is a snappy motor, and transmission is very smooth. I been reading all the posting on gas mileage on 1.6 and 2.0 Eco boosts and we get 23.5 -24.5 mpg around town and 30 mpg out on open roads. I think the 2.0 EB might do better on open highways, but in town, I don't think it could match my average in town mpg.
  9. Just before we got rid of our 2012 Focus I found out that my Conti back tires were wore out and would not pass inspection. The front tires were 1/32 from being junk also.. We had 13,000 miles on them,and they had been rotated 3,000 miles, 8,000 miles and finally at 13,000, which we traded it in. Continental wanted to give us a 50% replacement costs on all 4 tires.
  10. The 302A package does not have the Sirius Module installed..Why it isn't is beyond my thinking..
  11. Starting in October, new transmission control code was rolled out quietly. There's no official recall or service campaign, but anybody who complains or requests an upgrade at the dealership can have their powertrain control computer re-flashed. I posted awhile back that the Oct. re-flash did help our shifting problem quite well. That said the above statement amazes me why Ford wouldn't have been more aggressive in getting this matter corrected and telling the customers as to a fix. I guess you complain enough someone might hear you. The only question that I have...gas mileage is down about 1-1.5 mpg.. I'm not complaining...
  12. Being one with the dreaded shifting and what gear is it in now on start off. I had the latest update done about 4-5 weeks ago. I haven't commented about it till we had some miles and time on the new upgrade. The car now start off in low gear and shifts at a higher rpm and much firmer. You can step down on the gas about half pedal and it jumps down into 3rd gear, sort of like passing gear on the 4 sp automatics, only a little softer... Overall the car runs much better, with only one draw back, and that's the mileage around town, it's about a mile or so off compared to before the reflash..The shudder upon stopping is still there, but we never had the real bad shudder as some have complained on here.. 4700 miles on the Focus at present.
  13. Sure am glad Mr Ed that you never had any serious problems with your car buys...I'd love to read your story if you were to wear the shoe on the other foot....By the way, *NO FIX* is what I got from the Ford dealership today, so what should or could I do here Ed...??
  14. Ford knew about this problem way back into the launch of the Focus, they treated as if you ignore the problem it will go away..So far there is no fix out there, just talk. I'm waiting for dealer CS to call me so I can get this fix...since June..
