Ghosts in the Machine

[RobertGoodrich40]

I have only had my 2019 Bullit for a couple of days, but it was 115 yesterday while driving, and I had no issues.
I will watch for any sign of roughness at idle. Thank you for sharing your problem with the idle.

Let it sit in the sun in 115degF heat for a few hours, then start it with A/C on Max. My car comes back to 'normal' after I've driven it on the highway for 5-10 miles. It also has over 6K miles on it.

Hi Bullit0819. We obviously share very similar tastes. Mine is living outdoors at work and here. Any of my vehicles get heat synced. I worry more about my a/c’s performance. I go back to work Monday. We’re starting the week at 111, rising to 115 by midweek. So I should have plenty of opportunity to check it out.

The issue is now more common in my Bullitt. It's only been in the low- to mid-nineties, I'm able to keep my car at least partially in the shade and for less time, but I get the 'ghost' every time I start in the afternoon. I can live without the nannies but, much to my surprise, I've come to rely on the gear indicator--I occasionally hit 3rd instead of 1st--and, worst of all, I can switch to Sports+ mode out of the gate (I assume I'm stuck in Normal Mode). Everything returns to normal after 7 or 8 miles on the highway.

My guess is this will occur every time eventually, so at least I can get the dealer to reproduce it.

My Bullitt only has 400 miles on it, but it has been 113-118 degrees here for the last week. It only burps at idle when the compressor kicks on. Otherwise, smooth as silk.
Hope this helps!

And then sometimes the rear camera view stays on long after pulling out forward, as well.

In my 2015 with manual, the rear camera will stay on until I hit ~5mph. Seems to not have a sensor to tell it when you have shifted to forward gears, so it relies on the speed sensor instead. My wife's Explorer and now our F150 which are autos will change off or rear view camera just as soon as the selector is out of reverse.
