I have a set of P Zeros with 15K miles and these tires make a roaring noise at all speeds from 0 to 70+. The tires came on my 2018 GT from the factory and the rubber appears to be rock hard. Anyone else have this issue and did new tires correct the problem 100%. I am ready to go with...
I bought the Ford spare right from the factory for big money. Why? Because just one flat in a sidewall will give you at least a three day adventure searching for a new tire. You have a blow out on a weekend. Next the flat bed comes and damages your front facia loading you up. Now where do...
I believe that Ford runs the cars on a dyno in the plant during final assembly based on several videos we have seen. Could be a few miles added as the various systems are checked out.
You may want to try resetting the BMS set up which is the battery management system. Turn the power on but do not start the engine. Next flash the high beam headlights 5 times and then step on the brake pedal 3 times. If successful, the on dash battery light will flash on and off. May have...
Mine does the same swings and did not change when I put a new battery in last week. I did reset the BMS system and no change. I used an OEM Motorcraft replacement.
Could be the tires.....I would drop the tire pressure down and see if there is any change. They may be balanced but can still have an internal problem like I have had with Pirelli P-Zeros in the past. Also could be the drive shaft balance which is a tough problem to solve at the dealer level.
Yes it is worth it. These cars are so high tech that every repair costs thousands. The electronics alone are a killer. Everything is connected and subject to some issues down the road. The Ford plan had a convenient payment plan to spread the payments over a year on your credit card. Very...
No ADMs why......I am not going to pay sales tax on the dealers profit. Next, if you drive off the dealers lot with an ADM car and it gets totaled on the way home, your insurance will not cover your foolish ADM purchase price. Finally, if you end up with an ADM lemon Ford car, do you really...
I would look at the tires first especially if you have the Pirelli brand. Start with lowing the tire pressure to see if anything changes for the better. You cannot rotate them due to the stagger set up but perhaps some road force balancing might be next. After the tires, I would look at the...
Buy the Motorcraft TPMS training tool for around $30. Next you get in the car and press the power start button but do not start the engine. Cycle the hazard light toggle switch three times quickly and the horn will honk. The dash message center will then tell you to program the left front...
Here is another trick to reset the TPMS in our cars. Purchase a Motorcraft TPMS training tool online for about $25. Sit in the car and press the start button on but do not start the engine. Reach over and cycle the hazard light toggle switch three times until you hear the horn honk. There...
BMS reset.....here we go, Sit in the car and turn on the accessary mode by pushing the start button but not starting the engine. Next, flash the hi beam headlights 5 times quickly. Next press the brake pedal three times quickly. The battery dash light should blink confirming the reset. I am...
I think that I have fixed my car's problem by resetting the BMS after some more researching. Once I reset the BMS , the passenger keyless entry has returned to working and the 10 minute interior lighting timer also works as it should. Two days in a row and all is good. Amazing car and skips a...
I researched the forum here and it looks like the battery saver feature built into the BCM may cut out the passenger door keyless entry when voltage falls below some value. I just hooked up a battery tender to my car to see if overnight charging will again return this function. It has been...
My 2018 GT just started to have a problem with the passenger door not unlocking with the keyless walk up feature. Driver's door work as it should. I tried each key fob but no difference. Any ideas before deciding to visit the dealer?
I currently own a 1988 FOX GT that I bought new. The retail was $15K. The 34 years of ownership have been wonderful and it has 70K right now. I have been to multiple car show, 4 MCA shows with 1st place awards and more. I just increased the classic car insurance to $25K after seeing the...
