I did the same center speaker upgrade and it’s a noticeable difference in sound quality.

That’s the mod I did. The center speaker is much more “punchy” now.

I find that when I drive my SUV all is fine. When I drive my Mustang I have Dodge Charges and Nissan Altima’s all over me like fleas. What the heck is with Altima drivers!?!

Got me too! Ha!

So far so good I’ve done over 500 miles on the 2.3 motor and oil and antifreeze levels are unchanged. It runs and sounds exactly like before so I’m hopeful this motor will be OK now. Actually I’m a little amazed that with all the complexities of the new vehicles it seems to be a successful motor...

Thanks for all the feedback. I can say that the dealer rep told me that they never saw a failure specifically like I had, and that since ‘24s came out they have had two other 2.3 Ecoboost 24/25 motors let go. Out of how many I have no idea. But he also told me that all day everyday they are...

Great info - thanx!!

So I was happily driving along in my 2024 Ecoboost Premium with just under 5K. All of sudden it started misfiring and got engine light. Bummer! Turns out, I am told, a part of the #4 spark plug broke off and trashed the cylinder and turbo. Got it back with new (“single use”) long block and...

Lived in Winnipeg from ‘59-‘65 - in Charleswood, St. James and St Boniface. I remember flat spotted tires and frost heaves in the winter and yes those big skeeters! Assiniboine Park was my favorite place!

I had the opposite experience with my ecoboost. I paid for a full synthetic at 4200 miles and got the car home and later checked the oil - it was over a quart overfilled. Red line shows the oil level. But then - the dealer sent out a mobile tech, fixed it, and my next oil change will be free...

One of my few gripes with my ‘24 coupe also - on a few occasions where the parking space is shorter than normal, I’ve backed it in. So far I haven’t tapped a curb with the front but it’s always a concern 😕

I use this device in my ‘23 Ridgeline where the factory wireless charger is a joke. It works great. Charges fast, minimal heat buildup. I read a review of it where a user had trimmed it to make it fit better.

Understand what you are saying but in my case it’s fan noise from the seats regardless of the climate control fan setting. It’s not a massive issue to me since my car is garaged and I’m retired so I luckily don’t often have to leave it parked in the sun. It’s mainly frustrating in relation to my...

Oh yeah. Minimal cooling - Loud on high. At first I thought there was something wrong with the sound system. Sounds like a loud computer fan - very noticeable when you turn them off! Maybe one or both are mounted wrong? I’ll mention to dealer - I’m only 3500 miles - I did a 1K oil change and was...
