  1. Grinding sound when turning left and accelerating

    VERY specific but when I turn left, uphill and accelerate at the same time there's a loud grinding sound coming from the front driver side. I've taken it to the dealer a couple time and they keep saying nothing is happening and they can't replicate it. I notice it most when I first leave my...

  4. Rear Armrest won't come down

    Honestly the Ford Dealer Maint is really turning me off from ever buying a Ford again. Not sure if it's just the SF Bay dealers who don't give a rats about service because they know there's plenty of people who keep them busy or what.
  5. Rear Armrest won't come down

    My rear armrest has been "stuck" in the up position basically since I bought the car. I've always gone through the fast lane and they don't fix things like that. So today I took my truck in for it's 20,000 mile tune up and the rear brake light recall so I asked them to look into it. They just...

    Hi all, I love to use Apple CarPlay for navigation but I don't want it to take over audio! Whenever something with audio pops up while using my phone and it's connected to carplay the audio switchs from SirusXM to the phone. Is there a way to stop this from happening??
  10. GPS goes Wonky!

    Every once in a while my GPS will go wonky and tell me I"m driving somewhere I clearly am not! IN this case, I wasn't even driving in the direction it had me going... I was going west and it said I was going east! IS this just a bug or should I take it in for service?
