We love our BS.... but name one thing you dislike about it

[Hot Rod Mike]

Nothing. It sounds like most of you Complain because you have nothing better to do

There’s no button dedicated to return home to Sync’s menu while in CarPlay.

Sometimes I want to change radio, or some other setting while using CarPlay. The only options are unplug or hit the Audio Settings button (why on earth is this even a dedicated button?!). Half the time it’s very laggy or doesn’t work at all.

You should have this button. It should take you back to the Home Screen to change your audio source.

Oh, and the one thing I dislike is the key fob. I carry it with me and have to feel its bulk for 11+ hours a day.

The BL headlights are nice but, hit a turkey and the crack is a $1500 repair and the bumper has to come off.

Poor turkey.

People in Winnipeg steal those all the time. I totally agree about that stupidly designed block heater cord.

Not sure why I'm getting this post again but:
I totally agree with CableXJ about the block heater issue. There is no way to rout it out through he front, other than squeeze and maybe damage it between hood and frame. I rout it out with a short extension ... backwards ... out where the wipers are. Works ok.
But here is what bothers me most:
The mindless , nostalgic adherence to shift sticks. Why do some want a shift stick where there is nothing to shift? If you don't have a manual transmission, with clutch and stick, you don't need a shift stick...unless one lives in a in-between gears, motor revving, show off, macho world of the past. If you have an automatic transmission there is nothing to shift and no need for a stick. To rest your arm on? ... The rotating button is a great improvement and makes complete sense. Love It!!

True that. Should never have left the steering column. Just in the way on the console. “Dial me up Scotty”

This isn’t necessarily a complaint but a wish for an added feature I got accustomed to with my Honda’s. I wish it had a walkway feature with the locks. On my Honda’s I could set it to automatically lock the doors when I walked away with the key fob in my pocket. 1st world problem I know. But I got really used to that feature and am noticing how much I miss it with my BS. Love my BS though.

On the door handle at the top little lines if you touch them it will lock .

The 1.5L. Should be a 2.0L option. More power and a lot fewer problems.

yes and I do use that. But it means I have to wait on everyone to get out and shut their doors. Again, first world problems. It’s that old saying if “luxury once sampled becomes necessity” LOL

I wish that either Sport mode was the next mode after Normal, or that we could more quickly shift drive modes. The current dial and waiting for the graphic to come up is an annoyance compared to just pressing the "S" button on my fusion sport to get ahead of the other crossovers at the stoplight.

Check this out: one turn of knob highlights mode your in, second turn of knob selects next mode, third turn of knob moves to next mode. If you're in normal mode, three quick turns of knob puts you in sport mode -- just don't over-do it as each additional turn moves to next mode in-line.

Yes, the shift set up. I'm not a fan of that either. I don't like the push buttons I had in my Ridgeline too.

The shifter, it'll take time, but eventually I'll get used to it....

Auto start/stop.... jury is still out - but leaning towards capital punishment. I do NOT like that stopping the car, and putting it into park, initiates a stop/start sequence, only to turn off the ignition 2 seconds later. It is ridiculous...

My big concern , after joining this forum, is whether or not mine will be one that goes off the rails one day with numerous problems. That said, I do really like my BS in Heritage trim.... more than i expected.

Sorry... that was like 2 1/2 things....

I hate start/stop too but that's in just about any vehicle.
Although, my wife's '23 HR-V EX-L doesn't have it. Yet the other Honda's do. Very weird but we're happy.

I just got back from my 2nd trip in my '23 OBX. I've got just over 5000 miles on it. I have added several Ford parts that the factory deleted, and some aftermarket parts to make my OBX better suited to me. That being said I can honestly say there is nothing that I hate about my vehicle. The only disappointments are the lack of the 2.0 engine and a front camera as options for the OBX.

I have found if I push the button to lock doors as the others are still open, when closed they all remain locked.
