Question: I understand (and remember from when I lived in Vegas) that roads in hot climates can be very slick when it rains, since the oil (?) in the asphalt rises to the surface because of the heat. Could that also be an issue even when it's dry in cooler temps? Because the temps are so high at...

Ack. And here I am trying to decide whether to run those tires year-round in Georgia... and the average temps are a bit cooler here and we get more rainy days than you do in Vegas (my old stomping grounds!). I won't say I've never floored at high speeds (gotta pass on two lane roads somehow)...

I drove manuals for many years (and learned to drive on a manual Mustang in 1982!), but when I bought my 2007, I was living in Germany and experiencing the stop and go traffic for miles and miles on the Autobahn, so I ordered an automatic and never went back. I almost regret the automatic in my...

Okay, but doesn't everyone just turn it off the moment they get into the car anyway? Seems like a waste of resources to bother with on a car like this. Interesting. I've never used the magnetic charging function on any of my devices, so I really have no idea how it works in practice. So if I...

I got a pouch in mine, but compared to the zippered, book-sized neoprene type pouch my 2007 had, this new one is garbage. I'll leave it in the glove box, but I'll likely never touch it or use it for anything. Ford could have given nothing instead of said pouch on the 2024, and I'd have lost...

Interesting! I was just thinking the other day how weird this row of buttons is, with how it feels when you press a button, because it feels like you're pressing the entire faceplate in. Now I understand why! What a bizarre construction. I suppose it was cheaper to do it this way rather than...

I think it's just mocking him... because it knows he doesn't get to drive it. :wink: (I really would let him drive it, but he's afraid he'd hurt it somehow and then I'd have to kill him, and go to jail... it would be a whole thing... and no one wants that...)

Mine does it when I'm nowhere near it with the keys. My husband will be out in the garage doing whatever he does, and my car is just talking to him the whole time. Keys are 40 feet away, inside the house.

Ah. Well... I'm an idiot or blind, or just a blind idiot... But thank you for taking that picture and posting it up. That button is RIGHT THERE on my steering wheel and I've never seen it, I swear. Hopefully, I've now had my idiot moment of the day taken care of, since you can't have more than...

But is there any way to turn it completely OFF? I don't even want alerts, and can't find a way to just turn the whole damn system off. You have a button on the steering wheel for that? What does it look like?

The tint shop paid for the replacement of the windshield and back glass after they scratched it. The new glass is OEM parts.

@Doug Watson It's hard to get a picture, since it's just not super obvious unless you're driving the car. Mostly, I drive alone, so not exactly possible to get a picture in this situation! I'll check and see if there's anything on the glass, though I doubt it.

Just had the windshield and back glass replaced on my nearly new car (to see why, go here). The back glass has moderate to severe distortion throughout that seems like it's related to the defroster wires. The original glass did not have this, either before or after tinting (and I drove it a lot...

Odd... mine is absolutely not blue, and I've been through every menu in the system and there is nowhere to change it. :frown:

How are your infotainment and instrument cluster graphic colors blue? I haven't found anything that will change mine from orange...

Sorry about that... :sadface: I am insisting that they replace the glass, but I'm disinclined to let them touch the car again, as it's clear they have no respect for customers' vehicles. And really, the tint on the side windows is fine, and I don't see a reason to have it stripped and then...

Well, I don't have a check in hand just yet, and they may be trying to balk after saying they would pay for it two days ago. Also, now I've discovered more damage to the steering wheel as well; it's a gouge or cut from a razor or blade of some sort (which is another $2,000 cost for replacement...

Just heard from the tint shop, and they're paying for replacement of the windshield and back glass. They are refusing to try to apply the front tint again, because they don't want to end up back in the same place they are now, with having to replace a windshield. Seems to me that means they...

I've finally realized that this is all worse than I imagined it could be. After the shop had the car the first time, I noticed a vertical scratch on the back window, about 5" long, just outside the dot matrix at the top on the driver's side. I couldn't figure out how it got there, and I'd...

That's an excellent point! Will do that for sure. I shouldn't have to pay some other tint shop to remove the mess before fixing it! I did love that color!
