My letter from Ford Canada arrived this week and has the details. Seems to be 100% about making the auto start/stop work.

For the first few months of ownership, I’ve been able to put all the windows up pretty quickly after raising the top by pulling up on the auto front switches then holding the switch for the rears so they all close at the same time. Lately though, when I do this, the passenger side rear window...

Took this on a road trip a few weeks ago.

Update: resetting network settings on the iPhone didn’t make a difference in my case but the rebooting of Sync 4 via the steering wheel buttons has made the problem a bit more tolerable

Thanks, but what you’re describing isn’t the explanation for what my car is doing. It’s not just a subtle rolloff to keep 486hp from becoming 500hp— the engine is literally having its fuel or spark cut entirely for about a second, going from 486hp to zero.

Do you mean enabling the Mustang’s wifi hotspot?

Worth a try! I’ll let y’all know if it helps.

Oh, I didn’t know you could do a reboot that way! Nice. FWIW, the issue only seems to occur for me when running wirelessly.

No kidding? What would be the point of this? And why only in that gear?

Because of the same problem with touching the exterior handle?

Mine does it too

Wireless CarPlay always connects for me but… About 1 in 4 times when I drive my car, CarPlay connects and my music / audiobook / navigation apps launch just fine, but there is no sound. I can see the progress bar on the song moving, etc. If I change the audio output on my iPhone 13 Pro to its...

I noticed on a recent road trip when flooring the throttle to pass (and then keeping it pinned a bit for fun) that my automatic transmission will downshift as expected, then shift nicely at close to redline for the next couple of gears up, then NOT shift until after the engine power is suddenly...

I have this issue as well but I perceive it as the lock “button” working intermittently. Sometimes it works on the first try, sometimes it doesn’t. I don’t have the same problem with the unlock function when I grab the handle so I’m guessing the area you touch to lock it isn’t as sensitive as...

How are European S650s headrests different than the North American ones?

I had the same thing happen to me in the last couple of days on the highway. Drive mode normal, transmission in D, floor it at ~90 km/h (55 mph). Typical 2-lane passing situation. It kicks down and hard acceleration happens as it revs to redline. Fuel cutoff (or something) occurs, car hesitates...

I’ve been on a road trip for the last few days and tried to enable the feature for the long boring stretches. Although my hands never leave the wheel, it’s constantly telling me to keep my hands on the wheel unless I’m resisting its adjustments or aggressively jiggling the wheel. For all...

Convertible lesson learned the other day: the heat generated by the wireless charging pad combined with direct sunlight was too much for my iPhone 13 Pro and it spontaneously shut itself down to cool off. I suppose I’ll charge it with a cable in the console if it needs it on sunny days…

Made this iron-on for a t-shirt for my daughter but realized I could do a different shade of pink to better match her outfits. (Fatherhood alters a gearhead’s mind in inexplicable ways, I tell you.) It’s an extra so I’m offering it free to anyone willing to pick it up in West Toronto or cover...

I have big trees above my driveway and no garage (yet) so I’ve been using a leaf blower once or twice per day to blow the springtime tree garbage off my GT ‘vert. I have PPF on the front clip and ceramic on the rest and it’s still going to need a proper wash at least weekly because of all the...
