In the world I grew up in, a full size spare was a wheel and tire that was the same as the wheels and tires on the vehicle. When you had to use it, it became the permanent tire and the flat got patched and became the spare. It might as well be a donut since you have to do the same double work as...

Even if you can buy the full size spare - DON'T. It's another Ford deceptive practice. I got the full siize spare because I got the towing package, and it's on a steel wheel that isn't even the same wheel, same wheel size, or tire size. You probably couldn't give it away.

Made me laugh when someone said "That's not normal". Well - of course it's normal. Just ask any Ford Service dept. The car stops. Would you rather have it silent and not stop? """""SARCASM""""" OH - and don't you dare get it fixed anywhere else. It will void the warranty. As a matter of fact -...

Thank you for your reply, and actually seeing it from both sides. I think I have gotten over this long and unproductive issue with the Service Department. The good thing - at least I'll call it that now - is that both the manager of the service department and the owner greet me using my first...

I realize I'm beating a dead horse, but if I take a tire to the shop and tell them it's leaking, they will not put a note on the workorder that says _Cannot duplicate. They will put a note that says. Tested tire, and found no indication of leak. The key comment being "Tested Tire" , Not a...

OK - I don't want to write a book on this, so I'm going to condense as much as I can. I brought my BSOB in because the Moonroof wasn't working. Called multiple times during the day since the mechanic is supposed to be texting progress. New 21st century thing. Finally when I called at 5pm they...

Glad I never had maintenance done at your shop. There's a known problem. I had an experience that could easily have been caused by that problem. If your company or research showed that there is an issue, you shouldn't have to replicate the issue to have it checked. If I have a tire that's...

After the demonstration of incompetence I've had on the few trips I've already made for Ford Service, they wouldn't recognize an oil leak if it was dripping on their head. I have seriously considered trading my BSOB in even though I love it's appearance, have gotten it ceramic coated, and...

How about. We pulled the wheel and checked the brakes and everything is in place and secure? That's what I asked them to do. I'd have done it myself, but I wouldn't know what a correctly assembled Ford brake caliper looks like, and specifically where the pin that might have dropped out, or...

I have a very likely (Plausible) theory of why it hasn't happened again, and I don't like and neither will you. If it was one of the loose pins, or bolts that I've read about, it probably snapped off the last time it happened, so - - - now you just have to wait for the brake to fall apart, or...

Mine only did it once, but as an avid reader of these forums, I knew there was an issue with pins sliding out of place and loose screws holdinng the rear brake calipers. I brought my Bronco in for another issue, and told them what happened. I also told them that it had only happened once, so it...

You sure got that right. I've asked multiple Ford Service and Parts Counter employees. I've contacted Ford corporate, and nobody has given an answer. OKay I have to take that back. I've been told it's for the wiring harness if you get the hitch package, but since I have the hitch package...

That's the problem with Ford. Five out of ten, or 9 out of 10 or any percentage they consider a success. If they sell 10,000 vehicles with a 90% reliability rating they say they've done a good job. Unfortunately one out of ten of us doesn't agree.

That's what I thought, but someone just commented that the tint is on the outside of the glass. I haven't investigated. I just had the front doors and windshield done. I was satisfied with the tint on the rear doors and tailgate.

I picked up my BSOB in February and didn't get the snaps snapped until May. The dealer actually told me not to try to attach them until we had a sunny day and the inside of the Bronco and mats were warm. I don't know if it's a bad fit and the mats have to be pliable enough to stretch, but I...

Well we're in Meteorological Winter in the Chicago area. We've already had a few zeroF' with -35F windchill. Five minutes is about the max I've used the heated seats, and that's on low. Much higher and I don't suggest passing gas :^) Oh and on a totally different subject. On one of the zero...

Yes - My Auto S/S has been working since I got the new battery. I've even still been frequently logging the before and after voltages. And the lowest I've seen is 12.09. Before the new battery, the voltage was dropping every day the car wasn't driven. Once I didn't drive it for three days, and...

Look at your insurance card. The VIN is on that card so police can verify the car is insured.

I hear ya, but I'm basing my idea on some daily monitoring I was doing when I was trying to win the battle for battery replacement. If I make less than a 15 minute trip, the battery will barely come up on the voltage reading. This is with nothing but the radio on most of the time. A 30 minute...

Pathetic - You may have seen my comments. I got the same response from the dealer. First time they checked nothing and just put a note on receipt. "Won't work when it gets cold" Second time they tested it and said it was OK I called Ford Support, and they put me on a conference call with a...
