It's a good idea to clay once a year with the blue to maintain the finish.

Congrats on the purchase! That motor sounds sweet. I really wish they'd offered the 3.5 EB in the MKX!!

Congrats man...those are some narly looking wheels!!

Salt reacts with water. To remove it, you want to do a hot water extraction, followed by a light mist of vinegar to neutralize any remaining salt. You can either leave it on or dab the vinegar off with a white terry towel.

I prefer the looks of the first one. And, thanks for your service too!!

Joe, the odd time my I4 won't pair either. Happens maybe one in 50 times. Next time I start it, all is good.

I have my fog lights swich "on" so when the headlights kick on, then the green foglight icon shows up on the dash. Being from Canada, I disagree with you about the seat heating settings. For me, they are fine how they are currently.

I wouldn't say Jack Shit to the dealer about pulling the fuse or anything. Just tell the initial problems.

I did well with my MKX on a trip recently. The thing I noticed is that speed is a huge factor on the mileage!

I agree 100% on points 1 and 3.

Great, glad to hear it.

OK, I installed it and now my iPhone is slow to respond....thanks Ford!!! Just kidding, hahahaha.

I changed my settings today; we'll see how it responds in the am.

I'm not denying there are problems; I've had some minor ones too. However, you make it sound like every single owner out there is burdened with a ton of problems. That is not the truth. There are some who seem to have a lot of problems, and others who have either none or very little. Even if no update came out, my problems are so minimal that I could live with it. It is a great car for a whole package and I have no regrets. Just sharing my $.02. I don't mean to diminish your problems, just pointing out that all are not so.

Good. Folex and a terry towel will be your best friends. Pls let me know how it turns out for you. Here is an AWESOME product you should use to protect your whole interior: http://www.autogeek.net/ultima-interior-guard-12.html

Hopefully she wasn't wearing Jeans as you may have experienced a dye transfer which is basically the colour (dye) that makes the jeans dark runs into and dyes the seat. I would go to Home Depot and get some Folex. Also get yourself some white terry towels. Make sure you get white. Spray the area, agitate a bit and rub with the white towel. The stain should transfer into the white towel. A steamer would also be a big benefit to you if you have access to one. Everyone should own a steamer. No chemicals and powerful, quick cleaning that kills every germ out there as well as bed bugs. If you do, wrap the terry towel around the head of the steamer and have at the area you sprayed with Folex.

Like any time you try to correct something on paint, you want to progress from the least to the most aggressive. So, I would start with a mild bar like the Clay Magic blue. Make sure to use lots of lube. If that does not do it, then move up to the Clay Magic red. You will mar the paint with that bar, so be ready to polish or compound afterward. If the overspray is nasty, it's not like you've got a choice anyway. Depending on what type of overspray it is, I would also try a solvent to get rid of it. That may work if it's fresh.

My neighbour had bought one for his car and it was about $200 less..that was about 6 or 8 months earlier than my deal. The other thing is that the lifetime is not available to Canadians, so I had to get creative to get it. If you saw the Canadian pricing for Sirius, you'd vomit in your mouth. We pay more for everything up here!! In hindsight, I'm still glad I did it.

I would certainly attend the dealer and get it documented. That way there is a history so if it gets worse than you have proof of a pre-existing condition.

FordGuru...both of your above posts were very informative and enlightening! It may not be what some people want to hear, but it's what they need to hear.

I don't remember exactly, but it was about $800. They split it up over a few months.

Steve, there's a sure-fire, scientific method to determine whether that salesman is lying to you or not....were his lips moving???????

Dingo, that's what I got in the summer. They didn't want to offer it, but I said I want that or nothing and I got it. It is transferable from vehicle to vehicle too, so it seems like a no-brainer!

Boy that seems very strange. My SD card came with the factory nav. Yours should have too. That's like buying a car without tires. I call bullshit on that! Contact Ford if you need to; you got screwed there! It also sounds as if you have a computer that was not set up to have the Nav. You need to go back to the dealer and make a big stink. Contact Ford, switch dealers if you have to.
