For me, when I first got my bronco it had been sitting around for awhile and I assume there was a bit of a battery drain. Also, as most of you probably experience, there are a good number of electrical gremlins in these (my left headlight stays on longer than the right one on shutdown...
I don't want a full EV, but I was hoping on trading up to a Bronco PHEV if they released it soon. I don't plan on waiting until early 30s, so if Ford doesn't do anything, I'll probably switch to a Jeep PHEV in a year or two.
Good luck. I hope it's just that they were busy with other things. Unfortunately the way this all works, the dealer technically 'owns' it until you go in to sign and such. I found that out the hard way.
I get a whistle when the heater is on. It's something with the air going over the driver side rear window. When I put the window down it stops. I think it just needs adjusting. I mentioned it to the dealer and they sorta brushed it off. I know how to do it, but my laziness about it wins out over...
Nah. I don't bother in my Jeep anymore either. Back in the late 90s early 00s when I had my TJ, almost every other jeep waved. Now, it like 10% or something. People don't get the memo, or they're the 'get a jeep to be trendy' crowd and dgaf.
I will keep an eye out when I drive my 95 YJ. The...
I'm starting to be convinced of that. I read an article today about how Kia and Hyundai are starting to do it better. I'm not saying I'll never go with an EV, but for sure not interested in a Tesla. I've driven one. Fast, yep. I don't need any other speeding tickets. I already had to retake my...
This happened a few times to me over the last year. The other day it happened when I pulled into my garage and was shutting off the vehicle. I also several times have had the infotainment system shut down and restart while I was driving. It tells me first, seems like it thinks there is low...
Hmm, I wonder if there was a switch over sometime at the end of 21. I have a FE that I purposefully bought on a build date after what I hope was the end of the valve issue. I'll take a look tonight and post.
Yah, only had about 50k on it as well. It was tough. I lost a decent amount on the trade in.
I was considering keeping it, but it would just sit around. To be honest, I got it because I always wanted to have an FJ. As cool as it was, it just wasn't quite what I wanted. I figured someone else...
A similar thing happened to me when I first got my FE. I was at a busy intersection first in line. I went to go when it turned green. The ASS tried to kick in and everything shut down. No power to anything, nothing.
Everything came back on after about 2 minutes. Since then, I've had once or...
Kinda cool. My thoughts on the design is it looks like those motortrend concept things of cars of the future I'd see in the 80s/90s. This looks like those. Unfortunately, even though they were autos of the future then, the designs look like a car of the future designed in the 80s/90s instead of...
When I first got mine, I was at a busy red light. Similar thing happened except everything shut down. I didn't even have instrument panel power. It finally let me start back up again after about a minute. I think my issue was batter charge. Either way, the A.S.S was not smart enough to disable...
My area in PA has gotten better with using more gravel instead of so much salt. They come around in the spring with road cleaners to get the extra.
Picked up a FE used almost a year ago. Other than an initial drained battery (had been sitting) and the dead modem and split steering wheel hub...
Got a used FE about a year ago. Had a modem issue and steering wheel issue when I got it. Battery was low too(from not being driven).
After those initial things, I haven’t had issues. Would buy again.
I would. I have the top off in the summer, but I'd love to get as much natural light in as possible during the fall to spring months. For me it would be less about opening it to get air in and more about just getting more light in the cab.
Edit: Didn't read the OP correctly. I would only want...
