Our BL was good overall. Biggest pet peeve was the hood vibration, it looked like it was going to separate itself from the vehicle eventually haha. This one is rock solid. Recalls and quality concerns seem to on the rise across almost all industries. The RV horror stories are incredible too...

Thank you!

I Nice Maverick! My brother bought one, loves it. Yes I had a 24 Santa Fe Ultimate Calligraphy. Ultimately it crapped out. They came up with a solution that included us signing an NDA. Not sure if I'm breaching it by telling you this much.🤣 Glad to be back.

Made the 1600 km round trip to pick up our Bronco 2 (2nd one) I am amazed at the overall condition. Yes, it's only got 22,600 kms, but if you've ever been in oil patch country in northern Alberta, you'll know the roads are atrocious. There's not a single rock chip, no road rash and interior is...

That was extra and wow, it sure minimizes wear & tear!😁

Long story short. As much as I loved the Mercedes convertible, it isn't exactly practical. Traded it on a nice, low mileage 22 Badlands, 22,000 kms. Wife likes geo caching and berry picking so the Sport works really well for her. I also got rid of the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe. That's another...

It would be a perfect tow unit for most! They definitely need to make sure it can regen charge while towing. Golf carts, Yup, paid 23,000.00 for mine in Canada. Fancy for a cart but still a cart with 80 km range. Works fine for a resort unit.

What did the selling dealer say or did you involve them? They should be going to bat for you.

That means your dealer ate the charges. I did the same several times. It's poor support from the manufacturer imo. One example, Edge backlight (taillight). Not covered under premium care warranty due to water intrusion. Cost of replacing it, 2000.00. Goodwill split? 33% each. Problem is, that...

Many dealers will not escalate the issue by applying for "goodwill" If approved, it typically involves a 3 way split between Ford, the customer and the dealer. Both the dealer and the customer are on the hook for 2000.00 each. Ford actually gets away dirt cheap as the transmission is billed out...

Yes I did, extremely flimsy plastic line. Not surprised it started leaking. I cut it at the outlet and put a rubber stopper in it. No issues since then. I did sell it about 6 months ago.

I wish I could say I am surprised. Most industries have gone to crap. Damn I'm glad I retired!!

Still backordered. Getting a new 2025 model this week, no cost to us. Upgrade a model year. Software issue fixed Rattled a lot of cages and had some help from some friends in the industry. Still some unfortunate people waiting. Why does it seem like no manufacturers have parts? Well, they...

Fun fact. Ford requires dealers to participate in "Goodwill" repairs. The split is often, 33% split among the 3 parties. Ford, dealer, customer. Make your case with the selling dealer. Other dealers will have zero interest in paying a portion for another dealers customer. It's a crap policy...

Lost right rear one after it fell off several times. It was dealer installed. They covered it under parts warranty.
