If there's no errors, the system is probably working as well as it can solely being based on vision. Vision requires machine learning to have models that identify what an object is, approximate distance, etc... however, it's dependent on the quality of the input. A major downside of a camera...

Too long; didn't read: Ford knows if the vehicles were produced with Camel batteries, the dealer notification says to contact Ford internally if a recalled vehicle is not within the warranty period, Ford's general recall reimbursement policy is for repairs prior to the owner notification letter...

If you are just getting additional keys and already have two, it is much cheaper to buy the key + blank emergency blade online (around $90 lightly used, $100 new per fob) and then pay a Ford Dealer to cut the blank (Colonial Ford of Danbury charged me $25 to cut two blanks). The price of keyfob...

Seeing the procedure in this thread and that using this part in this envelope if the vehicle cannot be powered on that requires someone to remove the air filter housing (which requires several other tools) is absolutely insane. Am I to expect that my tow truck driver has the other tools (other...

The recall language does not specify a time limit. Batteries sometimes do die in 3-5 years, but the recall notification does not specify any time limit. The recall language is very specific that there the batteries are defectively manufactured and can fail with essentially no warning: WELD AND...

So Ford did reply on this, there's a lot of documents on the NHTSA site. An interesting one is the iteration of the injector part. There's been four iterations, with versions 2 and 2.1 being used from the second half of October 2022 onward. This document more comprehensively documents the...

The recall letter says they will reimburse owners for prior failures. Ford could claim the battery was out of warranty, but it also was manufactured with an underlying defect to begin with. All you have to lose is a little bit of time contacting your dealer/Ford to ask. I would expect you would...

Not flagged. There it is. Ford's window ends in October 2022. My vehicle was produced in December '22.

Nothing from Ford for my vehicle I did see an email from another forum that there were new recalls on the 2023 BS. I'm waiting for Feb 3rd to see if I get an owner notification letter. Battery is two years old. If I'm not part of this recall I may just bite the bullet and buy an AGM, or I may...

Wipers go below the hood on many vehicles while parked because they're visually out of the way and it reduces drag; that improves aerodynamics, and reduces cabin noise. Pain in the ass when you have snow that melts and then freezes into ice, but easily addressed with a defroster/glove, and if...

Voltage can be a warning sign, but it's not a guarantee. I use a similar display (but with a splitter to three ports) in my BS BL to keep an eye on the voltage, but I also have a separate bluetooth battery tester (tiny and less than $20 shipped on Aliexpress. A battery tester will also tell you...

I generally try to fill when convenient, but I make an active effort to fill if I get a warning that I'm below 50 miles to empty. The only exception is when I use Techron fuel system cleaner, I try to get it down to 15-30 miles to empty (since it instructs to add it to a nearly empty tank, then...

Ford does have a connected Telematics deal with LexisNexis like GM. It's supposedly part of an opt-in (you have to say yes) to get insurance discounts on telematics based driving. However, if we trust this response from Ford, the data isn't going anywhere: Ford hasn’t sold or shared any...

Great! If you're happy with two keys, that's great. If you want additional keys for any reason with two already programmed keys you can program up to two more keys (four keys total) yourself without any special equipment; details here. You do need to look at the part number with the metal...

The battery dying (lack of charge, but healthy) from the car not being driven enough may not be covered as a warranty item. If the battery is actually bad (poor state of health on a battery tester), the battery is covered under the bumper-to-bumper 3 year/36,000 mile warranty. I would call your...

OBDLink MX+ for bluetooth, OBDLink EX if you're willing to use it wired with a USB-C male to USB-A female adapter with an Android phone. Best sales you will see on either is around 20% off. I would expect a sale for Black Friday.

Your alternative depending on battery location would be to hook it up to a battery charger, if you are in range of an electrical outlet, have a long enough extension cord, and a battery tender/charger. Otherwise yes, you will need a jump. You don't specify the year of your BS, but if you have...

Supplementary PTC heater remains standard in most states and not included by default in others. If you order a '25 BS to AL,AZ,AR,CA,FL,GA,HI,LA,MS,NC,SC or TX, ask your dealer to include the supplementary PTC heater on your build, in case you visit or move to a colder state - it should still be...

In terms of worrying about the amount or extent of electronics in modern vehicles, I do tend to agree - everything is programmed with its own diagnostics procedures, firmware, special dealer tools, etc... I went for a Ford Protect extended warranty for a reason. In terms of the 2025 BS vs the...

Latest on the NHTSA investigation is... Ford had until October 11th to respond, they asked for a two week extension to answer pretty much all the NHTSA questions, and it was granted. Ford now has until October 25th to respond (unless they ask for another extension). I am not sure if Ford's...
