OP, sorry this happened. I'm interested in what's seen and documented during the tear down and inspection. I'd expect the dealer to provide to you photos with their write-up. We'll never know what happened. Maybe it was a genuine accident involving something else. Maybe someone was delinquent...

I'm seeing Dressing Period being referenced when dealing with orders, modifications and scheduling. An order is in. The Dressing Period allows dealers to make changes to existing orders before everyone commits and the vehicle is scheduled for production. An order might exist, but constraints...

I've had my car for a few seasons now and never experienced an issue. Never seen any meaningful amount of water under the hood. When you consider the amount of water, mud, dirt and debris going into the wheel wells and undercarriage, especially during highway driving, what makes it into the...

Not to make excuses for Ford, but considering all the variables, it's not surprising. Physical components, print runs and stock, site updates, US, AUS, CAN and EU versions. Thanks for finding the differences. I agree the photos/diagrams can be better. The resolution is often so poor, even...

Regarding what occurs after engine assembly, it's my understanding that, while they physically spin the engine to confirm crank, valve and cam movement, it's not on a dyno. They do not actually fire the engine up and run it. To do so would involve fluids, fuel, time, labor, etc. From these...

It's a matter that needs to be clarified with this dealer. While the Service Advisor could have been deceptive, it might have also been a poor choice of words or part of a hurried conversation. No one can add anything to an existing blend oil to make it synthetic. For the majority of dealers...

My car is not my Daily Driver. But I did have an opportunity to take some photos this morning. I'm attaching two; they're both fails. I'll explain why below. This topic got me thinking of a wide range of subjects to comment on, for anyone considering tint. Please continue to follow the guidance...

I can remember that. I'll be going into winter storage soon, but I might be able to get a few pics before then. I looked through my records on the brand and type. I'm using "XPEL PRIME" tint. This is the first bullet in the brochure on film care: "Keep in mind that your window tint may have a...

I do not. All imagery appears normal, without refraction or other distortion.

Everything seems normal. Clear. I do wear glasses when driving. Polarized lenses. "Normal" (average) prescription. It's been a few years since the install, so materials and practices might have changed. I was given at least three days for the materials to cure before cleaning, handling the...

I see this vehicle as a solution in search of a problem. Buyers of it will occupy a small portion of the market. Will middle-aged performance enthusiasts want one? By and large, no. They're looking for something that ties back to their youth. Something mechanical. Will younger up-and-comers...

My experience over time with Toyota mirrors many of the comments of Ford. The last few years in-particular, quality in service has degraded, while pricing has markedly increased. So much so I believe my most previous service with Toyota will be my last. For general maintenance items, I can...

Regarding the cloudiness of the tint, check with the installer. They might recommend a cure time before handling. Invisible Glass works really well and is readily available. I've also used Gyeon's Glass cleaner. Both are safe for tint and screens. For application, I've got something of a...

The following is the process I've used. When I first attempted, it wouldn't complete. But then I re-read the instructions (LOL). Line 1: "...within 10 seconds." By finishing steps 1-3 in 10 seconds, the reset went fine. Without driving, my car will go into Deep Sleep at about the 13-day mark...

Enhanced Central Gateway, AKA, the GateWay Module. The ECG/GWM connects the different segments of the car's Controller Area Network together, much like an network switch. I could not find a specific reference as to why the patch is being fielded. I suspect the update is like patching any other...

Two topics worth studying: Fair, Issac and CO (FICO) and Comprehensive Loss and Underwriting Exchange (CLUE) information and reports. I think most of us are aware of FICO. https://www.annualcreditreport.com/index.action I go to this site once a year, to review what the companies have on me...

With respect to racing and track time, several threads at the 6G site document Driver experiences. While Ford produces track-inspired vehicles, cars and trucks with electronic settings like "Track Mode" and performance options, the warranty will not support any failures associated with being at...

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn8jxnn76qwo Strike on hold until after the Holidays. "The union representing tens of thousands of dockworkers across the US has agreed to suspend its strike while negotiations continue." "The union says it has reached a tentative agreement on wages and will...

You might consider some of the 1:64 scale S650 die cast prototypes on offer at eBay. There are many available, all kinds of color combinations. Sometimes on offer are the measuring units, the dies they use for the machines to scan an image from. Not Ford factory or signed products, they are...
