In my opinion and experience, do oil changes at the dealership, and all their inspection until you run out of warranty. Then do whatever you want. Less things to try to prove if something goes wrong.

Um, I know how to engage it :) it just does not engage sometimes.

Several times, when I park my manual trans. Mustang, and I pull on the parking brake tab, the brake does not engage. It blinks "Parking Brake not applied". Pulling on the tab does nothing. It starts to work when I turn the car off, then on. It's happened a few times in the past, and now it...

Yes! Was just at the dealer and saw it’s not there.

My old '07 used to do it, also if it's windy. Not this one.

I drive manual transmission, forgot to mention, so the car does not downshift, unless I do it myself :). therefore, for me, Normal for just driving forward on the highway with Sports steering is the ideal setting.

I feel like it's an empty statement. It'll be applied on certain cars, based on availability, etc. Not across the board.

I like normal mode with sports steering. I find that other modes are not as good for coasting, and the cur clunks forward when passing. I set up a custom profile with basically that. I love the stiffer steering feel, so I don't need to "hold" the wheels in place, the car just coasts forward.

FWIW, I got caught up on the firmware updates. I decided to give the Lane Keep Assist feature on during my recent road trip: Brooklyn to Lancaster, PA and back. I gotta say, the feature has gotten a lot better. It hasn't pulled me like it had in the past. It was very precise. The only...

In my experience, larger wheels (thinner tires) result in a bumpy drive quality. I am happy with my stock 18” Ebony Black Painted Aluminum Wheels. Looks great too. People used to black our their rims back in the day, now they come stock. On my old car, I had 19" wheels, and could feel...

Let's hope that Canada and Mexico cave, as they will most likely. Nobody knows for sure, until prices go up. So, let's stop playing financial experts. Also, don't forget, we had Janet Yellen, the secretary of treasury, who "thought that inflation would be transitory". Remember that.

Maybe it's an automatic transmission feature... but for me, if I turn off the lane keep (not that extra complicated cruise control thing), it turns off. Again, I don't like it being on, it's pretty much dangerous. But if you are driving in a straight line, and want to reach into your glove box...

Yes, that shit is scary. Early on, with early firmware versions, there were a few times when the car started pulling me seemingly into the wall. I don't use lane keep, except when the road is straight-forward, and I'm about to get distracted. Do not use it in low disability, in the dark, et.c.

Turn off the lane keep feature. It is very annoying to me. I only use it for a few seconds when I need to do something potentially distracting, like changing the climate control settings.

Looks right. Mine didn't have wheel locks, but I bought them right at the dealer -- people like to take the wheels off and leave your car on cinder blocks. Doesn't matter if it's a high crime area.

It's a good practice to bring in your new car to a Ford dealer on a regular basis. Sure, it's not necessary if you have no issues, but that's how potential issues can get discovered. Plus in case something goes wrong, you have proof that you were servicing your car on a regular basis...

Yeah... I drive around 12K miles per year tops, with multiple road trips. It's never more than that.

All this stuff nobody asked for, re: parking brake button. I guess It is convenient to have the parking brake auto-disengage. Or auto-engage if you have the the "auto-hold" feature enabled and turn off your car. But I always have to double-check if I activated it or not. Sometimes it...

I changed oil after the first 1000 miles, and then every 6 months, full synthetic. I did that on my old '07 car and had no issues.
