None of the Ford dealers where I live have ever tried to pull anything like that. One Ford dealer did show me a list of optional extras like paint protection. He passed me a sheet of paper, asked if I was interested, told me it makes them a little extra cash and none of it is necessary. That...

My 2019 Escape does it.

This may be a dumb question, but what happens if Ford isn’t able to to produce all 2022 orders before 2023 production starts? Will they delay 2023 production until they have caught up?

Is everyone getting the same B&O system? Is Ford, due to supply issues, cutting corners with the premium sound system? I ask because the opinions people have are quite strong.

If the stereo really is as bad as some suggest I may reject my Badlands!

Streaming high quality audio or using a USB stick is the only way to go. Sirius is bad and very few radio stations have decent sound quality.

They claim everything is normal until the lawsuits start. The 2.0 in my Escape doesn’t make that sound. It is not normal.

The problem is that the person doing the job probably doesn’t care about your vehicle. To them it’s just another job to get done as fast as possible. It’s unfortunate. I’m not saying all Discount Tire employees don’t care, but it’s guaranteed many don’t. I’ve had tires mounted on my Escape’s...

I’ve seen one or two videos of Discount Tire employees mounting tires. Would not trust them. Damage is guaranteed if the videos are anything to go by.

With the right tools…

I feel like some people are going to think you’re trying to pretend you have a real Bronco and not a Sport.

The economy is booming, everyone has a job, their savings accounts are full and no one has any debt! It’s better than ever! But seriously, I’m a little worried about my order. I have no idea when I’ll get it. I understand your worry about interest rates. Expect things to get much worse.

A woman parked next to us at a gas station. The spaces were very wide so there should have been minimal risk of contact. The woman opened her door and hit the side of our car. My wife confronted her and checked for damage. The woman was outraged, didn’t care and didn’t understand why my wife...

I genuinely don’t understand why people hit other peoples cars. There’s absolutely no excuse for it. The only explanation is that they are a-holes. If some a-hole parked very close to me I would still avoid hitting their car. It’s really not difficult. That’s why I park far away from people...

Absolutely no audio system will make Sirius sound good. You could spend $100,000 on a ultra high end system and it would still sound bad, probably even worse. Sirius is very low quality. It’s worse than a 128kbps mp3 from 1999.

The mixed reports are interesting. The B&O system seems to be quite polarizing. I hope It’s not due to Ford using whatever parts they can get due to supply issues.

I would take it to the dealership and attempt to demonstrate the buzzing noise and other problems. Ask if they will replace the amplifier/DSP under warranty. Of course, it could be another issue entirely.

Do you normally have bass and mid set in the middle (default)? Buzzing is not normal for any audio system. It indicates a problem somewhere.

I hate rattles, especially because Ford and their dealerships literally don’t care.

I don’t own any B&O products and likely never will. I understand B&O has a reputation as a premium audio brand. Why would B&O agree to put their branding on a car audio system that, according to some, is pretty bad? Either they don’t care about their brand and money is more important than...
