  1. It will indicate a full charge based on the battery's condition. But the full charge is less than full capacity. the batteries five years old. It's done. Get a new one because getting stuck is going to cost a lot ,more. Few actually know how to properly test a battery, nor do they have the equipment. My wife's died with no warning in her 2010 escape. Yret the one in my 08 was fine until the day I traded it a few months back.
  2. Mitsubishi has a thriving motor vehicle business overseas. The US market was never very large for them. Their holdings are in every segment of the economy . This is a minor affair to them. Much of their holdings aren't in their name. You cite the Chrysler joint effort yet failed to mention the one with Ford years ago. today their market in much larger in Japan and supply engines for more than a few brands. This isn't going to cause them much loss of sleep.
  3. So move it all down there. No unions and costs will be cut by a third. Of course many here will be unemployed.
  4. Winter fuel blends and the cold weather makes the engines less efficient. Seemed odd to me at first because I would have tought the colder air was denser but it didn't matter. Yet the oil temps are thinker and create more friction to some degree. https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/coldweather.shtml
  5. From what I remember, it listed the distance and direction of turn with the street name in the display. It popped up on the right side of the center screen. I don't remeber setting anything to get that. I've found a ton of info on YouTube. in fact even the dealer recommended it.
  6. If you enter a destination, the data automatically pops up in the window on my 2015. I changed no settings.
  7. Probably because you don't have a route set in. Try setting a destination and see if it comes back. But once the trip is completed, there are no turns to show.
  8. I got mine from the local NAPA. There are two versions One for the auto temp and one for the manual.. I used this video as a primer. It took about ten minutes total when you have the correct tools ready. Cost for the part was a little over $20.00.
  9. My town did that with MSNBC. They left years before their agreed on contract allowed and told the town if you don't like to , sue us. The same ones that whine about the "worker". They screwed the taxpayer royally and could care less. The entire company was staffed with a bunch of whiny kids who wouldn't put themselves out for anyone. Everyone there was a "me first" type.
  10. The CV was bullet proof. - They had their issues like any vehicle. FAR from bulletproof and a dog on the road. Now that the Taurus an Explorer PI's are getting some mileage under their belts, how are they doing? Anyone have any facts? - nothing that big in the way of issues but they don't have the mileage the older CV had at this point. In maybe four years or so then the true issues will surface. The AWD is being well received.
  11. That car never made any dent in the market. At best is made a mediocre administrative car.
  12. They are going with the Caprice and Tahoe. They have some Chargers on the road.
  13. Mainly because the pricing differential between the Charger and the Ford PI disappeared. The NJ contract price for the Ford PUI in FWD is seven hundred less then the RWD Charger.
  14. Pirelli has been floundering for years. now that they are a Chinese company, I doubt they will get better.
