Yeah, my tires are overinflated as well. I've been meaning to fix it but haven't gotten around to it. I probably should.
Yep, 45 lbs a tire on mine.

As promised, the indicator. Sorry lariat folks, no idea how or where it would appear for you on the fusion style dash.

It also comes with a pop-up warning when it first occurs.

My lariat fluid light came on within a month of owning it. Dealer just hadn’t filled it. I think I got a warning on the left screen actually. I use rain x brand.

I only use high-performance synthetic washer fluid and if the low washer fluid light comes on I have the truck sent to the dealership on a flatbed wrecker. ;)

And I assume you use the same high performance synthetic blinker fluid too, right? :)

And of course blinker fluid refills must be done by a dealer service department only!

Yea, I'm thinking it's a warning on the left display screen,

Same story as others here, my fluid tank was empty when I got it. Not that saying that has helped you in any way, but if you haven't already just fill the reservoir and see if it goes away.

Just like many other mine was delivered with low washer fluid and tires at 47... sent it back in to get a tiny stone chip and scratch (in the middle of the hood which I spotted when cleaning the day after I picked it up) and over spray from the bed liner on the bed side done... told them to do the full pre-delivery inspection as who know what else they have not checked... getting it back tomorrow (after they have re-sprayed the hood and bed panel) hoping for a good job.

Filled it up, issue gone. Mentioned the PDI problems to the dealership so hopefully nobody else suffers from this, but who knows if anything will come of it.

It is really amazing that so many are having those two issues, especially when both of those are items on the check list.

Yeah.

Looks like Ford said "the heck with ROVP", and Ford Dealers said "the heck with PDI". :LOL:

I think PDI is usually more a fact of "clean it up and take off all the shipping packaging stuff". And if you get more than that, I think it is a bonus. I think it comes down more to a quick detail than anything.

It seems Ford is the only dealer who can't seem to prep a vehicle for delivery. Like others, my washer fluid was low, tires at 48psi, antenna wasn't installed, AND it was still in Transport Mode.

It is not FORD but the dealer. ALL items on the check list were done for my ranger. Have stayed with this dealer for three generations of cars/trucks.

The new Jeep has a camera washer. Who wants this crap. How about unnecessary crap delete, truck marketing engineers.
