  1. Anybody know insurance?

    We live in California. So, my wife was in an accident and her Pilot was totaled. Right now, the insurance companies are in the process of assigning fault. The other party has retained an attorney and all communication with our insurance has to go through him/her. It’s looking like a portion of...
  2. Track mode with Sports+ steering

    I was messing around with MyMode after being informed that I could use it to change my drive and exhaust modes (duh). I like Track mode for its shifting and overall performance and Sports+ exhaust for its better sound without giving me a headache. So that's how I set it once I realized how...
  3. Kind of makes me rethink my use of FordPass

    Not that avoiding FordPass probably makes much difference. https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/carmakers-fail-privacy-test-give-owners-control-personal-102950437
  4. Throttle/transmission response delay

    Okay, so, since getting my car back from the dealer after the first attempt to fix the evaporative emission system problem, I've noticed that I'm experiencing more throttle and/or transmission lag than before. It's intermittent but consistent. It continues to occur after the second (and...
  5. Okay, guys, I need your help

    So, here's a pic of one of the front tires on my son's Mazda3. The other one is just as bad. We're having the hardest time convincing him to 1) get these replaced and 2) stop driving on them unless absolutely essential. And certainly, don't drive fast on them. Will you guys weigh in and help...
  6. Accessory mode shows SES light flashing and battery indicator, goes away when car starts

    So, while trying to diagnose why my old SES warning is in FordPass, I noticed that when I put the car in accessory mode the SES light is flashing and my battery indicator is on. But, both go away when I start the car. ???
  7. FordPass hasn't cleared Service Engine Soon warning

    So, I just had my 2022 GT/CS in for service, twice, for the same evaporative emission system SES that popped up (twice). Fingers crossed that they fixed it this time. However, they cleared my vehicle from FordPass for some reason, and now that I've reconnected the SES from July 4 is still...
  8. SEL - Evaporative emission system

    Got an SES notification "your vehicle has detected a concern with the evaporative emission system." Any quick thoughts on what this usually refers to?
  9. Stupid question of the day: how to remove engine cover to check oil level

    So, I'm at about 2,500 miles and figured I should check the oil level. I can't get to the dipstick without removing the engine cover. However, given my non-mechanically-inclined nature, I couldn't figure out how to remove it. It seems stuck on there pretty tightly. Is there a trick to popping...
  10. Phone GPU signal in '22 GT cabin

    So, my LG G8 smartphone seems to have a rock-solid GPS signal everywhere except inside the cabin of my '22 GT. So far it seems worse when the phone is placed in the cupholder or under the dash. Has anyone else experienced this, and perhaps found a place to mount a phone where it gets a good...
  11. Any way to fix these rim scratches?

    So, I was an idiot and was parked too close to the curb. It was angled, which I didn't realize, so I pulled out and scraped along the concrete. The results are the scratches on my rim that you can see in the pic. I doubt it, but is there any way to fix these? The surface looks textured so it's...
  12. Four-month review

    I just realized that today is the 4th anniversary of my Mustang's purchase on September 23, so I thought a four-month review might be worth a few minutes. Overall, I'm very happy with the car. It's faster and quicker than I need it to be, and it handles as well as I'll ever require. It's gotten...
  13. Reset my phone, now the FordPass app won't login

    So, I reset my phone yesterday for a variety of reasons. Trying to login to the FordPass app using the same credentials as my Ford.com account (assuming they're the same). Won't login using those credentials. I tried resetting the password, and got an error. So I can't even reset the password...
  14. Revved a little against parking brake - problem?

    So, I was an idiot. I was in Track mode and had just backed into my driveway. Still in reverse, put on the parking brake. Next door neighbor, who I can't stand, was standing in the next driveway over, and so I thought I'd rev just a little to bug her. Unfortunately, I forgot I was in reverse...
  15. Tire inflator and sealant kit - standard equipment?

    So, I noticed that a "tire inflator and sealant kit" is listed as standard equipment on the 2022 Mustang GT Premium. Did everyone get one, and where is it located? I can fine no such thing in my Mustang.
  16. Automatic shifting really harshly in Sport mode

    I posted this in the transmission forum as well, but I was hoping to highlight it a bit and get a quicker response. It's bugging me on this Thanksgiving Day (and a happy one to you!). I just passed 1,000 miles and so thought I'd give Sports mode a try. While my transmission has been a little...
  17. Automatic Sport mode harsh clunky shifts

    So, I finally passed 1,000 miles and decided to give Sports mode a try. Shifted into S and expected crisper, faster shifts. What I didn't expect were incredibly harsh, clunky shifts that felt like I was going to leave the transmission behind me on the road. Same thing in Sport+ mode. Clearly...
  18. Reset transmission after break-in?

    So, pardon this question if it's stupid. Many of you have forgotten more than I know about modern automobiles... I'm wrapping up my break-in period (currently at 941 miles) and plan to get my oil changed right after. I'm not 100% happy with my transmission (auto), particularly some harshness at...
  19. Creepy copper

    So, my trip to Anaheim the other night was interesting. In addition to almost getting sideswiped and appreciating my Mustang's performance, I was also close to being a victim of mistaken identity. As we were driving back, at about 10:30pm, we were on the I-5 and a black, modded Mustang GT with...
  20. Pretty good

    So, I was driving to Anaheim last night and some idiot was merging onto the I-5. He came in at high speed directly into my path and I just caught him in my peripheral vision as he was about to sideswipe me. I reacted instinctively, braking and pulling to my left. Fortunately, we were in a...
