    Hard launch transmission disengages

    If you're bouncing off the rev limiter, you're probably spinning the tires and you're not actually going 30-40 mph.

    Hiding in the dark

    To go "total" stealth mode, you'd have to get some assistance from the US Air Force. :cool:

    Explorer ST vs. GMC Typhoon (the "original" performance SUV)

    I know we've come a long way since 1992, but I thought some of you would find it interesting ... 1992 GMC Typhoon Base price: $29,530 ($63,352 adj for inflation) 262 cu in / 4.3L 280 hp / 350 lb-ft Passenger volume: 91 cu ft Cargo volume: 28 cu ft Curb weight: 3,822 lb 0-60 mph: 5.3 sec 5–60...

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    TO FORUM MOD: As I take an overview of this topic, it's apparent that it has nowhere to go. We're not seeing anything close to what some people would have us believe regarding breaks. Feel free to close this thread as you wish, it's played its course. CareerFiremanGuy

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    Okay, if nobody responds I get it. Because the gargantuan elephant in the room is that even if a paltry 10% of vehicles in the recall broke their bolt, that would literally mean 25,000 thousand people swarming the internet with their stories. But the fact remains we're just not seeing it. And...

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    Anybody? Would like to see people's guesses as to what those two "corrective actions" were. And if those two actions are the reason we're not seeing anywhere near the number of reported breaks as some people would have us believe.

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    I revisited one of the first articles that reported the bolt shear and found two interesting items (highlighted in yellow). First, that FORD Engineering was aware of the problem on 8/10/21. Second, that Dakotta (the assembler of the rear module) applied 2 "corrective actions" (in 02/20 and...

    Bad MPG

    Hope you get it figured out. Window Sticker says 20 mpg Combined (18 mpg City and 24 mpg Highway). That's exactly what I'm getting, and it's exactly what you should be getting.

    FORD PERFOMANCE DOOR SILL REPLACEMENT?

    Well, I was going to do it. But $191 for something I don't usually see that I step over with my foot ... nah.

    Heh Autoworker, hope you don't mind I slightly altered your pic for ST forum members ...

    Bad MPG

    Maybe you got the Mach-E's programming and it's trying to read MPGe.;) The lowest I got was when it was brand new and it showed some crazy low numbers. After that, the lowest I've seen is 19.9 mpg and the highest 20.9 mpg.

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    That's 'cause I'm a funny guy, writing such humourous material like ... "I tried to get my ST in for an oil change, but was told by the Service Dept that they're backlogged with all the one bolt repairs." NOT!

    ST vs. The Competition

    Okay, I've updated pricing on the vehicles in the comparison. They are to the right of the original price quote in RED with (brackets). Some changed very little. Some changed a lot. SPOILER: ST remains the performance value leader.(y)

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    Let us know how you do. I've been into keeping my vehicles stock for at least the last decade (Mustangs, Taurus SHO, Stinger GT, etc.). A big change from when I used to bring them home from the dealer and started stripping parts off of them. Lol

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    And it's been proven to you that people have lied about all the supposed rear bolt breaks they've "seen"... so the .09% figure remains legit, using the only concrete information that we have, misinformation coming from deceitful owners hell bent on spreading PANIC on both the 1/3 and 2/4...
