You bought a car with high performance Brembo brakes that are track ready; hence the "Performance Pack". They are going to make some noise during daily driving due to the pad compound and caliper design regardless of the type of vehicle that they are installed on. It's 100% normal, no need to...

Because the tires compounds on the Performance Pack cars are not designed to be operated in low temperatures. Anything 40 degrees or below will cause the tires to skip/slip on the asphalt due to the change in the coefficient of friction, especially when you're applying power to back up or pull...

I didn't know providing people with unbiased information was "busting balls". What "internal Ford postings" are you referring to? There was an SSM released which details how to repair the concern. I've now seen it repair multiple vehicles; the critical aspect is that the technician knows...

The instrument cluster has various fuel gauge strategies that are employed based on the current conditions. They are dependent on the level of fuel in the tank, driving conditions, ignition mode, and various other factors. Since you only overfilled it once, you will most likely be fine...

It has nothing to do with a fan bearing. The noise is caused by the brushes rubbing against the commutator within the electric motor as the fan slows down; it's not detrimental to performance or longevity whatsoever. My Edge had the noise, it was intermittent and decreased as the brushes wore...

I can't believe the driveline vibration is still being discussed. Ford narrowed the issue down to driveshaft runout, which was a result of QC at the driveshaft supplier. Hence the reason that they released an SSM with the fix information. All the dealer needs to do is use the driveshaft...

People....be more like Kachow. Enjoy your car and stop looking for things to complain about. I own a car with a T56...one of the most heavy duty transmissions you can get in a performance vehicle...and guess what? It makes noises - whine, clack, clunk, you name it. That's the price you pay...

The "noises" you're hearing sound normal for a drivetrain on this type of vehicle. Perhaps you've never owned a vehicle with 435+HP, but the driveline components (transmission, differential, axles) need to be heavy duty in order to handle the horsepower and torque output of this powertrain...

Typical Wal-Mart....

People only started to notice this "discrepancy" when digital speed readouts became commonplace. All analog speedometers have a built in tolerance. At 60MPH, its acceptable for the analog gauge to display 58-64MPH. It's not a matter of opinion; it's a matter of industry standard...

- Remove the ignition coils and inspect for coolant in the spark plug wells. The presence of coolant indicates a cracked head. - Have the dealer inspect the IMRC (Intake Manifold Runner Control) for proper operation. An issue with the IMRC can cause poor performance and will cause a random...

How long ago was the exhaust installed? New exhaust systems will emit a burning odor until they are fully broken in. If something were actually burning/melting, the odor would not dissipate within 10-15 seconds.

Yes, it is normal for the charging system voltage to fluctuate between 12.5V and 15.5V. It's called Smart Charge; the PCM communicates with the generator on a LIN bus and commands the regulator to charge at a commanded voltage based on various conditions. Those conditions include temperature...

A leaking rear main seal has nothing to do with "build quality". It's called a DEFECT, and that's why you have a warranty. A small percentage of any mass produced component will be defective or experience a failure, it's simply reality. That goes for any automotive part regardless of brand.

How does a broken camshaft bolt shoot down into a piston.....?

A dealer or aftermarket shop crushing a wire harness is not a warratable defect. You simply got lucky that your dealership covered it;,unfortunately for your dealer, they will be getting charged back for the repair and the wire harness. No manufacturer covers damage caused by an outside source...

Wrong. Stop misleading people and encouraging them to apply for a "buyback" based simply on buyer's remorse. The customer's "liking" has nothing to do with it. You bought a mass produced product designed to appeal to millions of people; not a one-off custom vehicle. If the vehicle is...

That's IMPOSSIBLE. It either was there or it wasn't; once the paint dries at the factory, it doesn't change unless it's damaged by an outside source. The fact that the manufacturer is still willing to correct the issue after 11,000 miles speaks volumes in terms of their dedication to...

That is clearly damaged caused by an outside source; it's not "defective leather". If the seat pulled apart at the stitched seam, that might be plausible. However, the damage you posted is not a manufacturing defect anymore than a dent in a body panel would be.

You can think of as many examples as you want, it doesn't change the facts. Do you even know what an FET (or any transistor) does or how it works? I suggest you spend some time researching how they work and how they can fail before you make baseless statements about "software errors" and...
