  1. Congress Mandates Breath Tests for ALL Drivers?

    I first read about the topic earlier this month. Congress has used it's authority and tasked government agencies to implement "Advanced Drunk and Impaired Driving Prevention Technology ". While the primary driver (no pun intended) is to prevent drunk driving, it also seeks to avoid any impaired...
  2. Stiff shifting with Tremec trans

    2022 with a Tremec. From pick-up and very early-on, the trans was notchy. It was difficult to find gears (sometimes) when cold. After a few hundred miles, she began smoothing out and was doing fine by the 1000 mi / 1600 km mark. I considered my experience normal. Mine currently feels firm and...
  3. Extended Warranties?

    https://fordprotect.ford.com/extended-service-plan That's cool. The Ford site above will help you decide if it is worthwhile. If you do plan to purchase, Granger Ford sells to NY and offers a Ford plan for $50 over cost. The following site will allow you to shop pricing (coverage, length of...
  4. Extended Warranties?

    Currently, Ford offers four types of ESP, from Base (84 items) to Premium (1000+ items, with more options still). At the time you had yours, which did you have? Level of coverage? Maybe the plans have changed since.
  5. Multiple Issues: Powertrain Fault, Engine Stall, Low Battery Charge

    Agree with others it is most likely the battery. The 24s have been having several with faulty ones. When the voltage is even just a bit off, weird things happen, in modern cars especially. Being a brand-new car and the issues we have seen, I'd pause on taking any action yourself. Electronics...
  6. Is there an option for an audible alert for BLIS?

    Checking the '22 and '24 Owner Manuals it is visual only in the external mirror. An audible option, distinct sound, word, or being able to chose either, would be nice. As the manual says, I have confirmed BLIS is not full-proof. Someone hauling, coming up from behind and moving quickly, might...
  7. Usage based insurance

    Long-term, I don't see the appeal of these policies. While a driver might get in at a lower price point, they will continue to deal with the same issues we all do. Went on a long trip and drove 5 mph over for 20+% of the time? Ooops. You lose your discount. Ticket or accident? Boof. You're...
  8. Discounts dark horse and GT cars on ground all over

    Specific to your deal, I'd leave well enough alone. Given the car, price, discount and experience, reads like you did good to great. Everyone is happy and things are progressing as expected.
  9. Mustang Purchase Pricing

    For any deal you do negotiate, I would confirm with the salesperson you will not be accepting any add-ons, in writing. No warranties, tint, ceramic coating, nitrogen in the tires, etc., unless you want those as part of the sale. If you're not doing so already, secure the final price with a...
  10. Supply Chain Constraints or Not?

    Ford will not ship HP-type cars during the Winter months, as the tires can develop problems once temperatures become too cold for those compounds. Is Ford selling that many HP cars? That by removing some HP options, they markedly improve their fleet MPG calculations? Ford produced 2M vehicles...
  11. New 2024 GT Performance Question

    If someone can cite a source, I'd like to read or listen to it. I'm not aware of any limitations. Ford does have a general recommended break-in period of 1000 mi / 1600 kms, but no physical or electronic* limits. You can use the Search feature in the upper-right corner to look for similar...
  12. Sitting in Production for two weeks, should I be worried?

    I'd not be concerned. The line is only operational for several days of the month. When a car enters the line, it won't necessarily exit and be completed that day or week. Additionally, we're in Holiday mode. People taking vacation, things are slow, etc. Finally, the Tracker is not 100%...
  13. Extended Warranties?

    Ya, I noticed that with my '22. Popping the hoods of the respective vehicles (2022 Ford vs. 2008 Toyota), the differences in item density and component complexity is something to give one pause. Good news is, if you don't get a good price from the selling dealer at pick-up, you can pass and...
  14. Software Update Mechanism?

    Ya, I caught myself and deleted my previous post. I forgot about Sync 4. I've Googled around and have yet to find anything to do with USB sticks, Sync 4 and the S650. My finds do reference Wi-Fi and Cell, as @Lightningwings mentioned above. But update the S650 Sync via USB? Haven't seen that yet.
  15. Software Update Mechanism?

    I'd study two topics: 1) Ford Telematics and 2) How to default Sync back to factory. Ford Telematics records various details about your driving. This information is uploaded to Ford via the car's internal cell transmitter. If you don't want Ford to have these details (whatever they all are), in...
  16. Extended Warranties?

    I'll update my post, but in your situation, I was wrong. I forget that, in the state of FL (and CA), you have to be licensed in the state to sell these policies. Granger is not licensed to sell Ford ESP in FL. While you will not be able to buy from Granger, you can shop around other Ford...
  17. Extended Warranties?

    https://grangerfordextendedwarranty.com/ https://fordprotect.ford.com/extended-service-plan A Ford ESP plan would be best. While 3rd party plans are available, there are a lot of grey areas and legalese; a Ford plan eliminates virtually all that. Granger Ford * offers the best price, period...
  18. Ford employee leaves note in Dark Horse glovebox for future owner

    I would've loved to have found one. But unless someone left an Easter Egg in a body panel or something, no. The article makes me want to continue to double-check every nook and cranny each time I'm in the car.
  19. Recommended Octane Rating & Why

    I prefer Shell and purchase the highest octane I can get. I want the maximum out of the engine and car. 87 is Ford's minimum, the floor to help prevent any long-term issues with an engine and its high compression ratios. https://www.toptiergas.com/gasoline-brands/ While I have a brand...
  20. Posting Problems Still Not Corrected

    For me, desktop browser. Macbook with Chrome. FWIW, as it happens from now on, I'll get you some dates and times, so as to correlate.
