  1. I know some GM cars like Cadillac would have a message come across the dash as “headlamps suggested” if the auto lamps where not on and it was dark out. That was in the 90s and 2000s. Cadillac for sure did it, my folks STS and Deville did it. Not sure about other lines.
  2. Did you happen to unplug the coil while the Engine was running? Ford put out a Ssm about not to unplug the coils while running due to could damage pcm coil driver.
  3. This is so dumb. Super cruise sounds better than blue cruise anyway. Super cruise indicates it is superior to standard cruise. Blue cruise sounds like an old Person Caribbean cruise leaving Fort Lauderdale. Why is this even an issue. In Ford’s defense, like they said, everyone calls it cruise control. If Ford called it superior Cruise then I could understand.
  4. I saw the “thermal nightmare” video. I understand some of what he says but this isn’t the 80s. Constant tension clamps are used on every OEM I’ve ever worked on. They don’t leak until they are moved. They are marked as replace in most manual procedures. Also, so instead of replacing a defective component, making it one unit means you replace the entire assembly. I’m sure Ford did plenty of cost analysis and tried to use stuff they already have on the shelf. It’s always easy to critique someone else’s work.

  6. As long as the warranty start mileage includes those miles . It doesn’t bother me. I bought vehicles that were DT and had 500 miles and I have bought some with 13 miles.
  7. I think it’s click bait. Bad news sells. If the title was “great buying experience “, would you be as likely to click on it? Never buy something without looking at it first. My uncle did that on a Cadillac. It turned out not to have the parking sensors like his old one. He told the sales person he wanted the same car just new. Sales guy said yep they are identical. My uncle was in a hurry, signed a check and left. Next day he noticed some features were missing.
  8. I thought this was cool! I’ve been wanting to see. https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/2020/09/25/virtual-tour-offers-peek-at-renovations-inside-michigan-central-station/?outputType=amp
  9. 1986 Mark VII LSC 1996 Lincoln Town car 1997 F150 2000 Taurus 2003 Taurus centennial edition 2003 Lincoln LS 2006 Fusion 2006 Mercury Mariner Hybrid 2007 F150 Fx4 2012 Fusion 2013 F150 Fx4 2015 Escape That’s all I can think of. I had some non Fords too. Jeep, Volvo, Honda. The 2007 Volvo C70 was Ford adjacent. Tons of Ford parts on it. btw those are in MY order. Some of those I bought and fixed and sold.
  10. I agree. It was a respectable effort. Maybe they can take what they did with the aviator and make another continental that is worthy of the name. Of course with the sedan market shrinking why do that?

  13. If it only happens when braking, the rotors are warped. Have the rotors resurfaced or replaced depending if they are thick enough.
