My new engine is finally in and car is back. One hiccup when I first picked it up. Shifter was rattling/buzzing and check engine light was on intermittently. Turned it around and gave it back to the dealer. The shifter was missing a piece when they reassembled, and they needed to reflash the...
I just had my engine replaced under warranty. My 2017 was burning ~1qt per 300 miles. Note that my warranty was coming up in March. With a 2016, depending on purchase date, you may be past the 5yr window.
You can look into a factory extended warranty. Note that they do an inspection on the...
And FWIW, I had my stereo/electronics guy try to do it with a relay and it didn't work out.
It is like new cars that turn off your car at a stop and you need to hit the button to override and leave the engine running. WHY control me, give me FREEDOM!!!

Without getting political... There are many ways the government encourages and helps kids financially to go to college. These days a good chunk of them get out of school with a degree that doesn't get them...
My 2017 has 12k on it. Burns 🔥 a quart of oil every 250mi (got progressively worse to get to that point). Piston slap at 2k RPM 🙌 . Did the oil consumption test thing.
I have a great dealer (grew up with the general manager and have bought many Fords and referred countless customers)...
While I don't daily drive mine because I work from home, I wouldn't have an issue. Only issue is you need all season tires for the winter, even if it is just driving in the cold.
