I had the orange wrench pop up in rush-hour traffic around 2500 miles. Car also went into limp mode. I stopped at a local garage, but it came out of limp mode after restarting, so I decided to just go home and take it to the dealer the next day. The light went away the following morning and...

The two that I dropped eventually found their way to the driveway.

Almost 6 years old, just hit 40,000, had the Ford Performance "CALIBRATION W/COLD AIR INTAKE AND THROTTLE BODY" installed a couple years ago, and still no problems ... yet.

And if you're also interested in trunk struts, I can emphatically endorse the Steedas. I've had them since Jan 2020 and they've been rock-solid.

A problem some folks have with the FP struts is the rubbing of paint underneath the hood or pinching of the windshield fluid hose. It could take several months before you notice it. You'll find some reviews on CJ or AM where folks mentioned it. I had both problems. They were easily fixed...

It was surprisingly one of the easiest things I've installed. I used this vid:

40,000 miles ECM reset at 2500 miles due to random orange wrench. No problem with that since. Front toe links replaced under warranty a couple of years ago probably due to all the potholes.

I know who did this to you:

Thumbs up are easy. I've had 4 occasions where I was getting out of the car and someone pulled up to me and got out of the car to tell me how nice my car is and ask questions about it. This includes a Jaguar and a Corvette driver! :shock:

While I have used Safelite before with no problems, I went with a small but highly-rated local company earlier this year to replace my windshield. Took care of me in 1 hour. They used this brand that appears to have all the advantages of the OEM glass. I didn't notice any difference in sound...

It's especially grippy if you wear gloves. And I agree with the others about maintenance. Can't just wipe it down and no slathering your hands with lotion before a drive! I use Sonax Upholstery and Alcantara Cleaner. I also like it because, no matter the temp, it always feels good. It could...

Same rear end squeak for my 2018 GT started happening a few months ago and was getting progressively louder. For me it was the passenger-side aftermarket vertical link. The metal piece inside the bushing fell right out after I uninstalled it. It was installed 4 years ago with no problems. I...

I always check here first for reported issues and then use their Syn3 Updater to do it myself: https://community.cyanlabs.net/t/sync-3-4-22251-feedback-issues/6515

A few years ago, I was driving to the next town through an area known for radar busts. This was early in the morning and no traffic. Waze showed the way was clear. Then, my Uniden R1 whent nuts. A lady in an SUV sped around me as I moved to the right and slowed down. Half a mile down the...
