Yeah, its the same "shift knob" that is in every other thing we sell... I was surprised (maybe I should not have been) by how much off the shelf stuff was in the interior.
We got one yesterday, the buyer is a neighbor to one of our sales managers. It came on a special transport with two Ford delivery gurus. We had a little party surrounding it and people came from all over, as there will not likely be another one in our area. We get to keep it roped off on the...
I paid $40,500 D plan pricing for my '24 GT base. Exactly two years and 17K mile slater, I traded it on a '26 GT premium, D plan price was $51,000. I got $39,200 on trade and my payment stayed the same, as I had put a ton of $ down when I bought the '24.
The '24 was Grabber Blue with Space Gray...
If you are doing any kind of key on, engine off reflash, you need to hook a battery charger up so that there is no voltage drop. That will abort a program real quick.
At the dealership the first thing you do before ANY electrical testing, reflash or programming with the key on, engine off, is to hook up a battery charger. If you get any voltage drops, your programming will abort. An hour and a half is long time for KO/EO.
The recall drops off Ford's OASIS site when the dealer submits the claim to Ford and its paid. It usually takes about 3 days. No dealer sits on warranty claims, we want the money that Ford owes us!
As regards FordPass, I have had customers show me on their phone where the recall was still...
Quote: "Yes, it is a wear item, but there's also an expectation of a certain lifespan. If the driver uses launch control just twice, a feature provided by the manufacturer, I don't see failure in 8000 miles to be acceptable."
I agree, but who defines the "certain lifespan"? And we have only...
A clutch IS a wear item, I would do as they are doing so there are no surprises about expense once it apart. If the pressure plate came apart, it would be a warrantable repair, if the disc is smoked and the flywheel has hot spotting, customer pays. The only two issues I have is with the...
Exactly. We will do whatever we need to for it to fit right, adjustments will usually do the job. BUT, sometimes it requires body and paint work, and while you as the customer are entitled to have it fit right, I STRONGLY discourage going this route. If you are bothered by a small misalgment...
My opinion is that Ford's Sync system is junk. I worked for Lexus for 11 years before coming to Ford, and NEVER had problems like these do. I think its just another example of "good enough" engineering from Ford.
I put a crakcase pressure sensor in a new, 1,000 mile Bronco last month and two...
I had a '24 for 2 years and 17K miles, and 2K miles into my '26. The only reason I traded was Adriatic Blue! I've loved both cars, and I personally had no issues with either one. Things I've seen on the drive... a good number of taillights, which at $1,800 a pop, that tells me we ALL need an ESP...
