I find that when I drive my SUV all is fine. When I drive my Mustang I have Dodge Charges and Nissan Altimaās all over me like fleas. What the heck is with Altima drivers!?!
So far so good Iāve done over 500 miles on the 2.3 motor and oil and antifreeze levels are unchanged. It runs and sounds exactly like before so Iām hopeful this motor will be OK now. Actually Iām 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 ā24s 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...
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 (āsingle useā) long block and...
Lived in Winnipeg from ā59-ā65 - 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 ā24 coupe also - on a few occasions where the parking space is shorter than normal, Iāve backed it in. So far I havenāt tapped a curb with the front but itās always a concern š
I use this device in my ā23 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 itās fan noise from the seats regardless of the climate control fan setting.
Itās not a massive issue to me since my car is garaged and Iām retired so I luckily donāt often have to leave it parked in the sun. Itās 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? Iāll mention to dealer - Iām only 3500 miles - I did a 1K oil change and was...
For all the noise they make on high I donāt get much air flow. I had a 2010 Avalon and you could feel a nice breeze coming thru the seat - not so much on my ā24 Premium High.
It may have been overkill, but I got my windshield clear tinted to (in theory) cut down on the heat. I don't know if it makes much difference so far as the head unit overheating, but mine never has totally blanked in the manner described.
But, two or three times a month I do have to reboot the...
