I think more do them, they just either don’t hear it, they were told it was normal, or they think it’s normal and it doesn’t bother them. The 22 Escape I had before my BS did it as well. It’s really annoying and I tried to show my service guy the thread of how people were getting it to stop, but...

Yeah my dealership told me it was normal although I strongly disagree because I’ve had 2 non-Ford SUVs in my life so far that never made that noise. It’s really annoying.

Yeah I had gotten in an accident when I had my 2010 Kia Forte and when I traded it in, I took a gander at the CarFax for sh*ts and giggles and low and behold, the accident wasn’t on there, even though it costed my insurance company $9,000 at the time.

I’ve owned mine for a year at the end of this month with a little over 17,000 miles and I haven’t really had many issues that made me think I got the wrong car. I know the only minor issue I’m having is my CarPlay doesn’t want to work in the USB-C plug in sometimes. My dealership replaced it...

Oh ok, yeah that looks to be what it is. I’ve had cars with that kind of wrapping in the past and always thought it was leather.

And they make it look like it’s wrapped too? Because I know I prefer the leather my steering wheel is wrapped in compared to my dad’s Escape and that BL. It’s a lot easier to grip.

Yeah I’d get it checked out. It shouldn’t be getting 13 mpg if it’s going on 3 years old now.

I wish I could use mine, but Sync3 with Apple CarPlay says no…

Oh I’m not buying it lol, I got a great rate on the BS I have now (got it a year ago next month) and rn money is tight and interest rates are up, so the last thing I need to do is buy a new car atm, even though I’d probably like to upgrade to the BL.

I can get the window sticker, but I didn’t see anything about the steering wheel being wrapped or not. It looks wrapped to me and it felt like the smooth, tighter leather used in other cars like the Escape and the Maverick.

Ok I took a couple of pictures of the BL’s steering wheel. It looks like the same stitched material that’s on the Escape’s steering wheel, if that’s leather or not, it doesn’t look like the leather that’s on my OBX’s steering wheel. I tried to brighten up the images so you can see, it’s stitched...

What’s urethane? Is that like a fake leather like pleather?

I can stop by there on my way home from work and take a gander. I wish the dealership would’ve taken pictures of it and had it on their website like they do with all their inventory, but they haven’t yet. It did feel like the smooth leather that’s on the Escape wheel though, but maybe it’s...

Maybe, I had to check the window sticker on the BL to see if it has a heated steering wheel and it doesn’t. I know with the leather steering wheel in my Dad’s Escape has the heated function and since it’s thin, it gets so hot that it makes it difficult to hold the steering wheel. I guess that’s...

Also the BL had paddle shifters which I also thought was odd. Does that mean anything as to why it’s different?

Yeah I’m not complaining. I like the way my steering wheel feels with the thicker, textured leather compared to my dad’s Escape and that BL I drove yesterday. I just find it odd that they used different kinds of leather for the steering wheel for different trims.

Here. The only thing different between the BL and my dad’s Escape is the red stitching, but it’s the same style leather.

My dad’s Escape has the same style leather that the BL I drove yesterday uses. I can take a pic of both wheels and post them real quick.

Yes, they were both brand new
