  1. Windshield Replacement Problems

    After receiving our 25 Lincoln Corsair we noticed the windshield wipers wouldn’t run smoothly across the windshield. I assumed the windshield just needed a good clean probably due to dirt or dust, etc. It had some smearing on it as well but we assumed it was because the dealer didn’t do the best...
  2. New Car Damage. What do you think?

    What do you think would be reasonable to ask for?
  3. New Car Damage. What do you think?

    Hello everyone The lease on our 2022 Badlands ends in about four weeks. We started considering our options a few months back and ended up ordering a 2025 Lincoln Corsair because the pricing on 2025 Bronco Sports was ridiculous compared to what we were paying for the 2022. We’re talking hundreds...

  5. Keyless Entry Keypad - 2025 - Alternate Locaiton

    I think it might be my wife’s favorite Ford feature. We’ve been using it for years. Fusion, Escape and Bronco Sport. Sometimes it’s nice to leave everything, including keys and phones, in the car. Maybe not so much if you live in a bad area, but in civilized society its nice!
  6. Built-in Obsolescence in New Cars

    I looked at a Ford Escape ST Elite (2.0/AWD) yesterday and was disappointed with the quality. MSRP was just under $42k yet it was full of cheap, nasty plastics, some of which didn’t fit together correctly, and had many general fit and finish issues. Quality of new vehicles is bad. I’m not sure...
  7. Looking at Purchasing a New Bronco Sport Badlands, 2024 vs. a 2025

    I asked my dealer to give me a price on a 25 Badlands with the technology package. My lease is ending soon so I’ve been considering my options. He sent me back a quote of $5,000 down and $740/month. That’s thousands more down and hundreds more each month than my 22 Badlands. It gave me a good...
  8. Dealerships may be in trouble…

    The lease on our 2022 Badlands is ending in September so we have been considering our options. I haven’t been paying much attention to new vehicles over the past 2 to 3 years but I am fully aware of the many price increases. I’ve been watching the odd YouTube video about dealerships and the...
  9. ASS - from X

    I disable it every single time. Instead of worrying about whatever emissions a modern vehicle might be putting out when stopped for a minute or two, people should focus on more realistic and tangible things when it comes to the environment. The amount of trash on the sides of highways and...
  10. Get Your Free Battery Now-Updated Recalls-Battery and BCM/PCM 4/25

    Ford’s mobile service replaced my battery yesterday. I didn’t have a single problem with the recalled battery, thankfully. I was told the battery itself has a 36 month warranty. He mentioned something about the 1.5 engines with the water pump/injector problem. Apparently they’re going to...
  11. Price Increase

    Ford and other US automakers are free to dig their own graves. They’re actually quite good at it. I was at my local Ford dealership looking at some of the new cars in the showroom. A $90K Expedition full of cheap, hard, creaky materials. It even had a misaligned door. The Explorer was just as bad.
  12. New Tires for Badlands

    Had them put on my Badlands last week. They replaced the OEM Pirelli Scorpions. Excellent performance so far. Absolutely no complaints.
  13. Noise! trying to identify via video

    May not help but my 2022 Badlands with the 2.0 makes a similar, possibly the same, scraping noise when starting up and shutting down. I don’t believe it’s the parking brake because it makes a higher pitched electronic sound (as it did with my 16 Fusion and 19 Escape). My 2.0 has 34,000 miles on...
  14. 2025 Tow Rating Bump

    My 2019 Escape Titanium 2.0 AWD was rated to tow 3,500lbs.
  15. 2024 Bronco Sport sunroof explodes

    My 2016 Fusion had a sunroof and my 2019 Escape had a panoramic sunroof and I didn’t experience any problems whatsoever. I didn’t use them as I consider them to be completely pointless. Sure, the panoramic sunroof looks cool for a day or two but I had it closed and covered up 99% of the time...
  16. Will tariffs affect price since BS is built in Mexico? [⛔️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    The TDS in this thread is off the chain. The United States is the second largest manufacturing nation after China. American manufacturing is valued in TRILLIONS of dollars. Canada, Mexico and EU nations are not even close. American and foreign companies will not sacrifice the enormous and...
  17. Is Sport the best snow mode?

    The 2019 and 2020 Escape are two different vehicles.
  18. Is Sport the best snow mode?

    Bridgestone Blizzak DMV2 winter tires on both with size being the only difference. Honestly, I’m wondering if the set on the BS just aren’t as good for some reason.
  19. Is Sport the best snow mode?

    Yes, same make and model.
  20. Is Sport the best snow mode?

    Sad to say but my 19 Escape 2.0 AWD was better in the snow than my Badlands. I’m not saying the BS is bad but the Escape was awesome with winter tires.
