I do too but it's a pain in the butt when you go into a store for a minute and forget to turn it off when you come out. My buddie has a Sante Fe and when he turns it off it STAYS off until he turns it back on. BTW: In 2 years he's NEVER turned it back on. lol
That's been one of my biggest worries and why I haven't taken mine off road yet. Imagine being in the middle of no where and your car decides to drop dead ? Sorry to say but I really don't trust my 22 BS even on out of town long trips. .
Seriously Why do they need cooling fans ? Seems like my fans are running constantly. Even when I unlock the BB 1st thing in the morning. I thought LED's gave off less heat ?
I like the boxy look. One reason I owned Patriots for 15 years and now my BSBB. I think it's much more practical when hauling stuff. Can't stand all those look a like slanted back SUV's out there.
I'm still running my Continentals on my BB. they were fine in the snow. Of course here in Kenmore we didn't get nearly as much as you did in Elma. Now with all the snow melt and rains I hope you're not dealing with the wide spread flooding I been seeing on Channel 4 every nite. Good luck.
I'm think that changing to the ceramic pads would only address the terrible brake dust issue on the BS. My dealer service manager told me that the problem with the whale moan sound was the bushings on the rear caliper. They are on back order so I'm just waiting for them to come in.
On 12/28 I had the dealer change my oil and rotate the tires on my 22 BSBB. As I was leaving I mentioned that aweful whale sound coming from the rear brakes now that it's cold again. Right away he said it was a bushing problem and would order me the parts. Just waiting for when they'll be in.
I pay $25 a month for the car wash on my BSBB. I'm mainly concerned about washing the salt out from the frame area. Been doing it once a bweek or more for the last 16 months. No problems with anything. Antenna is fine. I only got nervous in the beginning when I thought the thin hood was going to...
My BSBB was assembled in Mexico but outside of the recalls and the fact that with the with the colder weather the "whale sounds" have returned when I back up I've had no real issues after 8800 miles.
Couldn't agree more. TERRIBLE service or should I say NON service. Mark hit the nail on the head. Check out your states lemon law. I really HATE hearing things like this. It reflexs so poorly on Ford itself. My BSBB only has 8800 miles on it but when it hits the 3 yr mark and is off warrenty I'm...
I've actually read that the BS iis at the bottom of the compact SUV list and read that it's one of the higher rated ones. ALL FROM THE SAME SOURCE.... CONSUMER REPORTS. It just depends on which month it's being reported. frustrating !!!
