  1. Reliability? Worried :(

    I felt in my situation it was the best option. With the values so high on trade-in I am paying about the same for a fully loaded new car that I feel will be more reliable with way better quality.
  2. Reliability? Worried :(

    I ended up trading in the 2021 BS Big Bend. Got $33k for trade-in. Bought it for $29k new :) It is listed at $38k on the dealer site. Got a 2023 Mazda CX-50 Premium Plus. Couldn't be happier. One of the most reliable auto companies and its loaded and quality is A+.
  3. Reliability? Worried :(

    Yep. No loaners. No rental coverage. My appointment at the 2nd dealership is 14 days after it broke. So if they look at it on the 22nd of April (this is just diagnosis), they have 16 more days until they hit Lemon Law in Washington State.
  4. Vehicle Network Communication Error???

    Yeah, the battery might have drained due to the original issue that occurred while driving. I still can't believe how Ford is putting its customers out like this. This is my first Ford and my last. I understand new cars break but I have never had a brand and dealership say hey your car isn't...
  5. Vehicle Network Communication Error???

    Went to the dealership at my lunch break yesterday and wanted to see if maybe the BS just needed a jump and maybe the battery reset this morning fixed things. The dealer jumped it and it started but holy malfunction alerts. Power steering wouldn't work. They pulled some codes (see below) Got it...
  6. Vehicle Network Communication Error???

    I unplugged the battery for 15 minutes this morning. The accessories then came on but the engine wouldn't turn. The battery might have drained over night. Towed to the dealership. They can't look at it to diagnose it until May. No dealers have loaners and warranty doesn't cover rental car until...
  7. Vehicle Network Communication Error???

    MY BS just did this. Was almost home and a sensor malfunction went off, the driver console screen went blank and then everything went dark and said: Vehicle Network Communication Error PIC: This was before I turned the car off. It now won't restart. The car is still like this on the street...
  8. Rear Door Locks

    I am pushing the right side button to open the whole tailgate. While I understand I can push the button on the remote to unlatch the tailgate that doesn't fix that the proximity unlatching of the tailgate only works 60% of the time. Your suggestion is dealing with the issue, not fixing it.
  9. Rear Door Locks

    My rear hatch only works 60% of the time when I walk up to it and grab the handle and push the button. No way a button is being pressed in my pocket. It was on the list of things to check at the dealer someday.
  10. Any thoughts on gap and mechanical breakdown coverages?

    Auto dealerships and/or lenders may try to sell you what they call gap insurance, but it's not actual insurance. What auto dealerships commonly offer is most likely a debt waiver agreement they advertise as gap insurance. However, there are significant differences between these two products...
  11. Daytime Running Lights Sometimes Stay On After Shutdown

    Yep, I was just thinking I haven't had that problem (them not turning off) in a while.. then remembered I turned off the delay and no more issue. Sucks that you have to do that but something less to worry about.
  12. Great Rate on Refinance BS

    If anyone lives or works in ? WASHINGTON STATE ? my credit union is offering 1% APR for 60 months on new, used and refinanced vehicles (2016+). 1.25% for 72 months, 1.50% for 84 months. Have to have 730+ credit score for 1% but it tiers up to 5% for 600 credit score. The credit union is based in...
  13. My Bronco Sport First Edition is for sale

    My KBB trade-in value is $33k- 38k, average $36500 for a big bend..I bought it new for $27500. ?
  14. Insurance cost versus prior vehicles

    I am $536 for 6 months ($85.60 a month) $250 deductibles with gap, rental & tow. 2018 Infiniti Q50 was $734 ($122 a month) This is with Esurance.
  15. Running lights won't go off

    Did you find out what was the issue with the daytime running lights? I have the same issue with them (the horizontal line lights). They wouldn't go off sometimes and my car is parked on the street. If they wouldn't turn off after the set delay I would have to go back to the car and open the door...
