Switch off for the car wash, on for driving, off for light mist, on for rain, etc. Im a control freak, don't like the car making common decisions for me.

Vibration/shake in steering wheel and cabin
enigma-2 replied to garhof's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
It is sounding like their may be a more serious problem. Hope they are able to find it. -
They're giving too much control to the computers. One glitch and your toast.

Back seat wont fold down/un-latch
enigma-2 replied to az_edge's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Great pictures, thanks. Glad you figured it out and it wasn't expensive. Remember not to change the position of the seat or put ant pressure on it (laying it upside down to put anything on the seat) while it's out of the car; unless you check the recliner synchronization, or it may fail later on. Service manual makes a "big" deal on this. -

13N02 - Extended Warranty Coverage on Brake Booster
enigma-2 replied to omar302's topic in Recalls, TSBs & Warranty
I have an 09 MKX, and had the booster replaced. Nope, not covered under recall. I used the extended warranty but still cost $100 oop. -
I hate menus. Give me knobs and buttons. Dozens of knobs and buttons to play with. At least I don't need to take my eyes off the road to read the menus when using knobs and buttons. Sync is "nice" but I can't begin to remember all of the commands.

Have the dealer remove it at your next oil change. -

That's great, easy fix. Good to know, photos may help someone else with this problem in the future. This post will describe how to add photos (I use Photobucket). http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/13034-how-to-use-this-site-post-photos-your-control-panel-etc/?do=findComment&comment=101627 -
How does this work. If I read the manual correctly, you flip the stalk up one position ( and this turns on the intermittent wipe AND the autowash. What do you do to choose between the two functions? (Don't think I would like the little wash button at the end of the stalk however. I would probably end up accidently washing the back window when I didn't want to).

Believe they have to declare this before the sale and required to be on the title.

Just out of curiosity, what exactly is a "thank you" sticker? -
Vibration/shake in steering wheel and cabin
enigma-2 replied to garhof's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
If you are feeling it in the steering wheel, and rotated tires (front to rear) the vibration *should* switch to the back. Only takes about a 1/2 oz of unbalance to feel vibration. I would also ask the dealer if they balanced at 100 mph or 60 mph. There's a lot of testers that can't actually check above 60, and/or shops that only go up to 60 when balancing. -

enigma-2 replied to garhof's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
New tires can be bad. Had a set put on the tire store were unable to balance over four times. Finally switched to a different brand (higher cost) and they ran smooth as glass. They thought the tread was not running true???? -

Did you have the alternator checked? Good battery can't stay charged with a bad alternator or regulator. -
"USB requires too much power"
enigma-2 replied to Groundpounder's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Oh, ok. I've had trouble using USB 3 drives in my Dell's USB 2 ports (don't work and Dell states USB 3 drives 'must' be used on USB 3 ports.) Wasnt aware that a USB 3 drive would change to USB 2. (USB 2 works ok on a standard USB port, but it slows the entire USB system to standard USB. In my curreny comuter, I have this problem, ran out of USB 2 ports and had to use sto USB ports. Everything on USB 2 system switched to std speed. Didn't think this could happen with USB 3 drive. -

enigma-2 replied to garhof's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Sounds like tire balance. One reason they may not have found the problem is most balancers only balance up to 50-60 mph. Never had anyone try to balance at 80, I imagine that you would have to ask for it specifically. (And then the balance could be off at lower speeds like 40-50. Always a compromise.) Also, tires tend to go out-of-round and still balance ok, from making a hard, panic stops. (Even a singe panic stop at high speed can burn off tread in one spot enough to cause it to run uneven.) This would be more prevalent with old tires, those that have less tread depth to burn off. It may be you just need new tires; how much tread is left? -
For years our local Ford/Lincoln dealer sent all the alignment service diwn the street to a lcoal professional alignment shop. They finally invested bookoo bucks in a top of the line alignment machine and now do their own. Agree with burrcold, dealer had his chance, go with a local professional. One that has "alignment" in their name.

"USB requires too much power"
enigma-2 replied to Groundpounder's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
I could be wrong, but I didnt think that you could use a USB 3 memory stick in these audio systems. USB 3 is a much different animal than the older USB 2 and 1 memories. -
Back seat wont fold down/un-latch
enigma-2 replied to az_edge's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Honestly I don't know if they come with instructions, but I doubt it. You really need a service manual for this, should be able to find a software version on Ebay for cheap. -

Some brands of jump drives have LEDS that draw too much power. -
