  1. 1000 mile report

    Auto start/stop works fine.
  2. 1000 mile report

    BS/OB delivered 02/22/22 Observations and comments; > Opening passenger side front door does not unlock passenger side rear door. Or any door. This is a pain. Any workaround? Friend with 2019 Subaru says hers is the same. My previous ride ( Flex ) I am pretty sure if either front door was...
  3. What were you driving prior to your BS?

    2011 Ford Flex SEL. Loved the car, but it was getting tired, needed some repairs and new tires. And we are geezers and wanted something smaller, more nimble, and with more safety features. Rear cross traffic alert has saved me already. Flex only had reverse sensors. 2022 BS /OB arrived...
  4. Factory Engine Oil?

    What oil is in a BS / 1.5L from the factory? My owner's manual mentions a synthetic blend or a full synthetic. Should I assume the factory oil meets the warranty specs, and is, at a minimum, a synthetic blend? No Dino oil? Fog
  5. Blockheater - how to rout out?

    I also routed the cord as Andy suggested. The sock is a good idea. My previous car had a much smaller opening for the wipers. And even that would get full of ice that was impossible to remove. My BS is outside today, getting covered in snow, but I filled the wiper gap with two pieces of...
  6. BS Arrives !

    Sorry, don't know. I gave dealer deposit mid-sept 2021, and he was supposed to order a 2022 as soon as order book opened. He gave me an estimated delivery date of Mid-Feb 2022 at that time. The date in the lower right hand corner of window sticker is 12 22 21. I don't know if that is...
  7. BS Arrives !

    No name. Not our thing...Sorry.

    BS / OB 2022 picked up 2-22-2022. Very happy. Ordered mid-Sept 2021, as a 2022. Arrived Mid-Feb. Right on schedule. I was lucky !! Foghorn
  9. Bumper and door sill protectors - do they really help protect?

    Sugg. on door sills...I am a retired signmaker, and we used a clear, sign product called " over laminate" It was designed to cover a sign, and if I recall was UV stable, and you could get spray paint and felt marker off it with paint thinner. I cut pieces of that and apply to the door sill...
  10. Driving in snow

    My new OB will be picked up next week. Had dealer remove Michelin Primacys and install set of Michelin CrossClimate 2's. I seldom drive in really bad weather, and wanted to avoid winter rim changeover. Results TBD.
  11. Lengthy delays for February estimated deliveries

    I gave dealer dsposit for OB order on Sep 13, 2021. Ordered as a 2022. Next word from dealer was OB was on a railcar in Chicago on Jan 25. Arrived at railhead on east coast of Canada on Feb 9. Trucking to dealer ( 50 miles ) takes 2-3 days. So call it Feb 14 5 months to the day. Order...
  12. Front or Rear Brakes Recall?

    Good post. Does anyone know why 2022's built after the Nov date apparently do not have the problem? > Did a supply of sensors arrive? > Do 2022's have different rear brake pads? > Was a workaround found for the missing sensor giving pressure info to the computer? My 2022 is on a railcar...
  13. Front or Rear Brakes Recall?

    The Ford notice states that any BS built up to Nov 16 and in dealer inventory, which seems to include demonstrators and inventory and customer ordered vehicles must not be delivered or driven. Is this accurate? Seems to me a question of which brakes are involved, is a bit irrelevant if your...
  14. 2022 OB Order

    Sept 13, 2021. Ordered, Alto Blue w/ blue interior. KISS... trailer hitch and roof rails. Dec 13, 2021. Dealer advises VIN assigned. Expects around early Feb., 2022. I'm guessing early March. I'll take anything before early May as a bonus. Fog.
