  1. '21 BS Outerbanks, Fan rattling sound on D(rive)

    Check the air box for a rattle. The 3 rubber grommets that retain the air box are known to come out and become missing.
  2. Front fender fabric liner.

    The wheel well liners are not fabric. They are made of plastic with an acoustic coating to help control sound.
  3. Transmission Won’t Go Into gear with Hood Open

    This is not true. Your vehicle and mine will shift out of park and into any gear when the hood is open. You can not shift out of park unless you hold down the brake pedal while turning the shift knob.
  4. Aftermarket Rear Bulbs

    What is wrong with the OEM bulbs?
  5. Torque Converter Shudder Adventure

    Gabe Good to hear you now have a solution. I am sure many others are experiencing the same torque converter shudder, but are not aware of what is causing the symptoms. I am now due for a drain and refill and will add a new tube of Lubegard Instant Shudder Fixx with the new ULV ATF fluid.

  7. Oil pump belt life

    This is for 1.5L 21-24 vehicles only. I have 169,000 miles on the original oil pump belt. No issues. Ford does not have a recommended replacement time/miles for the oil pump belt. I doubt you will find anyone that has replaced the belt.

    You probably now have hyper flash occurring when you press the brake pedal.
  9. Blinker Light on Dash Going Fast

    Check your rear brake lights.
  10. Changing drive modes a huge drain on my gas tank

    The fuel gauge uses horizontal lines. You are not viewing the fuel gauge. You are looking at the information screen gauge. This is controlled and configured by the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel.
  11. Inconsistent heat

    People Please create a habit of opening your hood at every fill up. Visually check your coolant level. I have a very, very faint mist of a coolant leak coming from the water pump. I add maybe a cup of coolant every 3-4 months. It is not worth replacing the water pump.
  12. Inconsistent heat

    Just open the hood and look at the reservoir on the passenger side. This takes 10 seconds.
  13. Inconsistent heat

    Check your coolant level.

    I have to snap that plastic fittings that are visible after opening the liftgate. These are at the top of rear opening. You may want to check your vehicle.
