Yeah, this makes more sense. Note that over the air updates will reset the custom colors, alarm mode prompt on exit ( where it either enables by default or asks when you shut off ), and ambient lighting. One of the OTA updates actually deleted my custom mode. So once you’re reasonably...
Even 24/7 machinery isn’t. There has to be downtime for maintenance.
THAT’S a fair point.
Things happen, you react and hopefully address the issues that came up with the first try.
I don’t really think it’s fair to call this a pay to play customer beta test. Like @ZXMustang has said, they...
Cluster layouts can
change with mode
or be selected for all modes.
You could have ’68 gauges, Fox body, ’01 SVT or new gauge themes.
custom colors can also be saved, independent of the cluster theme.
It may be that you had the cluster and colors you wanted, but the car decided to reset the...
Floor it from 40-45, let the downshift’s happen normally. if you spin... they’re going or gone. Like I said, I was able to spin at 60; I410 around San Antonio passing a semi.
The Trofeos stick like glue when they’re HOT like on a track after a warm up lap, but at street temps, even in the summer, you still need to have them hotter than you think for them to really grab. Even then, they’re not a drag racing tire.
The Pilot 4s isn’t “better” in this regard, but they...
If your car was defaulting to sport mode, you have a Unicorn, not a Mustang. Normal mode is the default start up mode on all the lineup- trucks, cars, SUV’s, you name it.
Man, I am profoundly sorry to hear this.
A sync reset takes only... 7-8 seconds, maybe, after the screen initializes. Ford has less than ZERO security for resetting the car’s sync system.
AirTags -CAN- help but if they’re savvy thieves, they’ll hear the air tag, fish it out and toss it in...
Not having a whipple, everything else I’ve read / seen say that 5.0 + whipple without the high HP half shafts = towed home from drag strip if you push hard. Maybe not the first run, but
The power delivery circuit fuse on this car is the tires. Put drag radials on and all that power is going...
If the car is stock, I’d opt for a stealership visit. It sounds like it needs to be re-aimed or recalibrated. We see this in the Raptor world when the sensor is relocated for a bumper or other mod.
I hope Ford doesn’t reimburse the dealer for this. All the tech did was clear the codes on the assumption it’s a transient issue, but that does nothing to troubleshoot why it happened or prevent it from reoccurring.
What codes?
What do the codes represent?
what troubleshooting was performed...
It has been several years since I had an ESP that paid for itself, but, I’ve had several pay for some repairs. To include my ’17 Raptor and my wife’s ’20 Lincoln - both of which developed CV seal leaks.
Back about 2007(?) ish, I lost the AC compressor in my 01 Lightning. That one repair paid...
From the consumer side:
You can sweet talk and negotiate with the dealer all you want, but if you have zapped the computer system, the onus is on you the consumer to prove to an arbitrator, customer service or a jury that it didn’t cause the failure in the powertrain. As I’ve said in other...
