You are correct. I went out a tried it this morning and it worked as you describe. I guess she wasnāt pressing on the brake like she thought she was. I even asked to verify she was on the brake.
Yeah, I get why it works that way. I also think it went from neutral to park when I pulled the hood release with the engine running. Lots of interconnections.
You learn something every day. I was sitting in the Bronco waiting for Mrs. T to come out of a store when I thought I heard a strange sound from the engine. I shifted between park and drive and it sounded like it was only making the noise in drive.
I opened the hood and listened to the engine...
A noise that wasnāt there before a part was changed is a giant red flag. Stopping when you turn something off. Is another. Iād hound my dealer and/or elevate the issue to Ford.
My motorcycle manual says warm it up before changing the oil. My F150 manual says warm it up and wait a certain amount of time before checking the oil level. The time is fairly vague like a few minutes.
I have that happen regularly. We have a 200ā long driveway in front of the garage where I park the Bronco. Our motorhome sits next to that garage and I back around the end of the MH so I can turn around and drive out forward. If I cut it too close, the Bronco thinks Iām going to hit the MHand...
Weāve only had the Bronco since August and it only has 3000 miles on it. Now it has a chip in the windshield. A pickup going the other direction got us this morning.
I remember when chips were rare, but they seem all too common today. Both my F150 and Bronco have chips in the windshield and...
This was a first for me. We were driving on a two lane semi-rural highway at 60 mph when I got a pre-collision alert on the instrument cluster and an urgent sounding chime.
There were a couple cars coming the other direction and one car waiting to enter the highway from a road on my right. None...
I think you're right, I had to change a setting on my phone to get carplay to work and since then it defaults to my phone when I start the car. Since I stream sirius/xm and don't subscribe to it for the Bronco it works great.
I hated that when I lived in Nebraska and Alaska. I parked in the garage at night, so the car was clear when I went to work. After driving to work it was warm which slightly melted the first snow to hit the windshield, then it'd freeze into ice.
Canāt do without? Thatās relative. Iāve been riding motorcycles over 50 years. Iād ride in temps into the 30s. Then I got heated gear and that let me ride into the teens, but I also started wearing it anytime I rode if the temp was below 50. What was nice to have now is a necessity.
I like...
Those donāt look that bad, Iād be surprised if it gets totaled unless the frame has significant damage. I think the front end has more expensive sensors and controllers than the rear.
I lived north of Fairbanks in the 80s and -40F was a common low temp and they set the record in 1989 at -70. We plugged our vehicles in from October to the end of April or they wouldnāt turn over in the morning. We didnāt get much warmer temps in the day than we did at night. Iām going to say...
