Yes, it saves Ford money over time but also gives the customer less for their money. These companies are cutting their costs but not passing any savings along to the customers. Profit 101, but still aggravating. Ford could also make more money in the long run if they could drastically reduce...

Considering a consumer USB WiFi adapter these days is like $10, it isn't at all surprising that mobile WiFi Hotspot hardware being purchased in the quantity that a company like Ford would buy would be valued at $20. Perfectly reasonable.

Discounts must depend on region. My local dealers are only offering, on average, around $900 off MSRP before any manufacturer incentives. Even dealers owned by the same "family" are doing this. One of their locations in a more rural area is offering $900 off, but their location in a more...

Our Ford dealer brings in fresh baked cookies/rolls for the customer waiting room every day...and the techs also graze them...so bribing them with donuts is pointless. It also takes 3-4 weeks to get an appointment; they shouldn't need to be bribed if the customer is also waiting 3-4 weeks just...

Here in PA, the local Walmarts switch out the Winter Formula (-20*F) washer fluid to Summer Formula (+32*F) around May. Then around Sept/Oct they take the Summer Formula off the shelves and put the Winter Formula back on the shelves. One just has to be really careful if stocking up to make sure...

We have received the CR survey in some years, completed it, and returned it. It was a very comprehensive [long] survey about ownership experience in all of the categories they monitor. Over the years we have compared the ratings in the annual auto issues to our experience with our own vehicles...

As others have stated, 4WD/AWD provide no advantage on ice unless you are also running dedicated winter tires. Also remember even if you do get started you will need to stop at some point. Hopefully TxDOT can get the roads treated before you have to drive on them. Take it slow and easy and...

Could probably spray these covers with some engine enamel to add some color.

I watch a ton of YouTube automotive content; it helps pass the time while working out. Over the past several months, the quality of the automotive content has really declined. Inaccuracies in reviews, inaccuracies in host dialogue, and generally just really bad content. In some cases, the...

Best to just start with what was recommended for the OEM tires. For example, if the original tires were to be at 33psi just start there. Then adjust as you see fit.

Removing them is like the automotive equivalent of popping bubble wrap. Just grab them with your fingers and pull.

The older I get, the longer I keep vehicles. When I was young I would keep a vehicle 6-12 months, then that changed to 24-48, and now I keep cars several years (my current car is approaching 9 years old.) My current car has been meticulously maintained, but with it approaching 9 years old the...

This is kind of an interesting question when taken by itself. People will always want the best service on those occasions where they need to go to the dealer. If you have a very reliable car, but then a horrible service experience when something does eventually go wrong, that could really hurt...

I am one of those members that does not have a BS. I joined the group to read other owners' posts. The forums are great for identifying common trends. One member may come on and say "I have this noise..." Other members may reply that it they don't, or it isn't something they have previously...

Just out of curiosity, has there been any thought to trying non-Ford brake pads? Wagner, Raybestos, Bosch, Centric, PowerStop, etc? Just wondering if maybe an aftermarket pad would solve the problem with the brake noise. I know it wouldn't be covered by Ford, but should be a relatively...

About 20 years ago we purchased a brand new Saturn VUE crossover. About 2 weeks after taking delivery, the vehicle wouldn't start. No lights, no relays clicking, no nothing. Had it flat bedded to the dealer. They called 2 days later and said that the main electrical wiring harness connector was...

Well, ~200 people don't survive, 7,000 are injured every year, and 25% of all accidents involve backing up. And those are the current figures after reverse cameras were mandated in all new cars. Imagine if there were even fewer vehicles with reverse cameras. Check surroundings the old fashioned...

Accessories purchased at a dealership must be returned to that dealership (they cannot be returned via Ford Accessories). Accessories purchased online via the Ford Accessories website can only be returned via the website (they cannot be returned to a dealer.) It isn't surprising that Ford...
