This is an issue I have encountered as well. The dealer tends to have mostly lower trim models on the lot ao they have nothing to compare a noise to so even though they hear it the will not do anything. What is even worse is they have the same model and year on the lot and it makes the same...

I understand. Thank you.

The dealer used Chassis ears to pinpoint the brake pedal clicking noise I was getting to the Brake Power Booster. Since you were able to pick up the noise with your phone do you think the technician would be able to confirm the noise through the chassis ears?

I have a 24 BS Badlands. I am one of those where the brake pedal started creaking when applying the brakes. The brake booster was replaced at 5000 miles. The brake power booster you are talking about is a different version only applicable to the Maverick from 11/24 to 3/25 and the BS after...

Wondering if It is a Sync 4 issue. I just used CarPlay on my 24 BS with Sync 3 with no problems.

I used the Ford Buy Back Program in January 2024. I had a 2023 Escape where after the engine turned off from the auto start/stop and I took my foot off the brake and the engine restarted immediately but the car would not move for a few seconds creating a safety issue where someone not paying...

Curious as to why only 80% too. a Google search for Ford vehicles said this: Ford targets an 80% state-of-charge for AGM batteries through its Battery Management System primarily to save fuel via smart alternator control, leave a buffer for regenerative braking, and reduce the risk of...

In my case the surging only happens during a cold start in warmer weather and goes away after a few minutes when I can get over 20 mph. Also I did notice the tach does not move when it happens. In your case it does sound like it can be the torque converter. On several Ford models the torque...

Reviving this thread because yesterday my 24 Bronco Sport Badlands (2.0L) was sitting in a parking from about 10:00 am lot until about 3:00 pm in the heat (upper 80's). I started to drive off slowly in the parking lot about 17 mph. The BS bucked violently until I got o the main road. I know...

I have the lifetime subscription on both my vehicles. For a time I lost it when I traded in the cars that had it because SIRIUS changed the subscription to the life of the vehicle. SIRIUS reinstated the subscriptions when I called them after they lost the lawsuit. I really like SIRIUS when...

That is what I thought. That would explain a longer delay in the engine restarting and moving forward.

Yes, same here. If I lightly brake and when I come to a stop if I have not pressed harder on the brake the auto start/stop will not engage. Sometimes at a stop in a busy intersection I will lighten the pressure on the brake without fully releasing the brake to have the engine start back up...

I understand that there are a lot of people that just do not like the Auto Start Stop. That's ok but I am not sure that even if the feature is no longer a requirement the manufacturers will totally remove it. From their prospective it probably adds to their CAFE numbers and even adding a mile...

I bought my 25 Escape last year under employee pricing. Because I ordered the car in June 25 I was locked into employee pricing even though the program ended before the car was delivered in September. By then they had a better program which was a $3,500 rebate that was better than the employee...

The 2025 Ford Bronco Sport United States Order Guide says that Rain Sensing wipers are standard equipment on the Outer Banks trim under Safety/Security. Per the Order Guide it is not available on the other trims. The 26 Order Guide indicates that Rain Sensing wipers were deleted for 2026. Prior...
