I think its an issue with AGM batteries. The dealership changed mine on the second oil change said it was defective. When I worked as a marine mechanic the majority of battery problems I encountered were with AGM's. They are voltage sensitive and fail easier, in my experience. I use Marine GEL...
I had the same issue with GM dealer and new oldsmobile. When I took it in for warranty issues they would break something else fixing the problem. After 11 mo dealing with this I thru in the towel when they refused to give me a new vehicle under the warranty terms. I sued them under the state...
I use a wireless charger that mounts securely to the air vent on passenger side, facing me. The arms extend a retract automatically. For power I plug it into one of the 5V recepticles on the back of the center console. I use the M1 wireless device to connect the phone for AAuto.
Bluetooth pairing with the M1 is necessary to connect your phone to the M1 wirelessly. There is a BT connection on my phone "AndroidAuto-ef9d." In the Android Auto App functions there is a requirement to select "Wireless Android Auto" to allow you to use the M1 as the connection point. The...
Only if you subscribe thru ATT. I did not establish this connection and would use the Hotspot on my phone if needed. I've done all the updates via USB.
I'm confused. I do not have a wi-fi connection available while driving my vehicle. I have never connected the M1 to my phone via wi-fi. As I understand this would also require a wi-fi connection between my phone and the device. I had a dash cam that worked via wi-fi and a connection had to be...
I use AAuto and connect using the Motorola M1 wireless, bluetooth (not wi-fi) device to connect. Its the way to go IMO. No cables to deal with. When you start the vehicle it searches for a bit and then connects automatically. Works really well 99.5% of the time. Prefer Google Maps satilite view...
Better days are coming. I have kept a spreadsheet of my fuel usage since day one. My stats: 2019 XLT, completely stock except for damper.
20,805 miles, 75% city driving, Ave Mpg: 23.48, gallons used: 885.98, Ave cost: $2.74@gal.
With the push button start you can't set your mirrors to extend automatically. You need to be able to retract the mirrors and turn off the engine. With the key in accessory position push the mirror switch. When you next start the vehicle the mirrors will automatically extend.
You have an option to go to Ford Owners Web site and download the update to a flash drive and update it manually. I don't use the update option in the vehicle as I would have to sit and wait in the parking lot while it updated. The flash drive will update while you are driving. Took about 20...
I am a very senior citizen and do not drive my 2019 Ranger hard. I have 14,667 miles and been keeping a fuel mileage spreadsheet since day one. My current MPG total is 23.32 based on 628.942 gallons used. I only use what the truck monitor says as a reference since the last fill up. Total fuel...
I agree. BTW when I get my oil changed at the Dealer they always remove this antenna before running through their car wash. They usually leave it off for me to install so I know they removed it.
A suggestion to maybe be able to keep using the current version of the AA app. I do this with apps on my phone that I don't want to update or are later deleted. Just removing updates is not always helpful. Download App Backup and Restore by Trustlook Security Lab. Once installed backup the...
I just changed mine last week. Just curious did you pull the blade up to the locked position or by just lifting it up. I always lock mine and have never had a problem.
A lot of comments to assorb in one setting. That said I also have owned a ton of vehicles in my 76 years. None have been perfect to the level you identified. I guess I never look that hard for problems. I bought an engine cover because I wanted it. Same with door guards and tailgate damper. Now...
