The Map View has been working fine until this weekend. During a long drive (400 miles), I had the destination set and standard scale map view. After about an hour of continuous driving the map view went black! The destination directions display continued to work fine. I first shut off the...

The American GPS system is based on a 10 bit time calendar. The calendar timing runs out on 6 April 2019. Many, if not most, GPS units have firmware that requires a reset to prevent positioning errors. I have several handheld GPS units. Those companies have already contacted me about...

I was in a parking lot. I tried to start my Ecoboost convertible. I pressed the brake pedal and hit the start button. The engine immediately began to over-rev. I tried several more times and it still happened. I got out to look at the engine to try to figure out what had occurred. After awhile...

Sudden unexpected accleration!!! This afternoon I started my 2015 Mustang Turbo convertible...as I put it in reverse, the engine sped up to nearly 4000 RPMS, without my foot on the gas pedal. I put down 20 foot long burn marks in the pavement before I could stop the car and shut off the engine...

My stock 2015 EB /auto convertible typically gets about 31-33 mpg on open roads going at a steady 55-60 mph. Every so often, my mpg rating jumps to 40+! At first, I thought I might be going down a very long descent with a stiff tail wind. But I have gotten this higher efficiency quite a few...

I just found out that my Mustang may(?) have 'Deep Sleep Mode'. Does DSM shut down all battery draining functions? I put my convertible into winter storage and have to use a battery minder to prevent the battery from completely discharging while it sits for several months. How completely does...

Sometimes I get a strange jump in mpgs. A few times a month my mpgs seem to jump from a nice 32-34 mpg to a unbelievable 40-42 mpg. I cannot explain it as being a long coast downhill or a very strong tailwind. The rpms also decrease noticeably. When it first happened when the vert was new I...

My dash cam got knocked away from the windshield mirror. The two power wires were pulled out of the mirror sockets. I cannot find the Forum discussions on using the mirror for dash cam power. Which sockets on the mirror are used for ground and switched power leads?

Every so often, I am cruising at about 40 mph, <2,000 rpm. I accelerate moderately and a chime starts up. My rpms are still <3,000. I let up on the accelerator and the chiming stops. Absolutely NO dash announcements. I've tried to reproduce it by stomping hard...but no chimes!?! Can anyone tell...

What happened to the Door Latch Recall? Months ago, I received a recall letter from Ford: RN 16S30 for a recall of the door latches. I called my dealer and was told to wait for a second letter stating that the new latches would be available. I did not receive a second letter. When I talk to my...

Check out the photos for the pre-production convertible debuted at Barret-Jackson Palm Beach: 1) Dual pipes 2) Really angular front end panels 3) 12 inch LCD screen. Just Google Barret-Jackson Palm Beach 2018 Mustang for photos.

Last Monday I was driving through Birmingham, Alabama on the Interstate when a heavy rain squall hit. Heavy traffic slowed to about 50 mph. I proceeded down a gradual hill to the bottom. Hidden from view by vehicles in front was a pool of standing rain water. When I hit, about 3 inches of water...

Of the ten cars sitting on dealers' lots the longest...the Camaro and Corvette are sitting for about 8 months. No Ford models in the top 10 list.

Spring is coming soon. I will be clay barring, and putting down sealant and wax. What is the best/safest chemical to clean off last year's protective coatings? A friend said to use isopropyl alchohol.

Has anyone else had their car have a fit while being washed? At a do-it-yourself car wash, the lights flashed on and off whenever I hit the sheet metal with the high pressure wand. It didn't matter where I sprayed...as soon as the water hit the car the lights would flash. I did have the key fob...

Under what driving conditions would you expect maximum amounts of oil to be caught by UPR dual Catch Can system with UPR Crankcase Breather in an EB? I have had the UPR CC for several thousand miles and there has been little or no oil residue captured. I did check the one-way valves and they...

Several times in last few weeks, when I am accelerating to get up to street speed, a chime starts to ring. The turbo kicked in but I was nowhere near red lining. RPMs were still in the 3-4K range. There is no dash indication while the chiming is occurring. My dealer has no idea why the chiming...

How do you know if you are in 6th gear if you have an automatic? No indication as far as I can determine. Is there an info screen? I know that the auto trans can learn from your driving habits. My tach, until now, usually ran at about 2,200 RPM while driving at 70 mph while averaging 32 mpg...

Car & Driver did some sound checks using identical cars other than rag or hardtop. The Mustang exterior noise level was 2 dB lower for the convertible than the hardtop. Only two Porsches were slightly quieter. All other convertible brands were noisier than the equivalent hardtops. I noticed the...

I am curious about how high a corner can be lifted before the tilt alarm sounds? Has anyone actually jacked up their car to see how sensitive the alarm actually is?
