Here's the funny thing, at least on my particular vehicle. The Pre-Collision Assist turns back on every time you turn the car on. Strangely, on mine at least, the Reverse Brake Assist does SOMETIMES but not all the time. There have been a few occasions when I started the car after several hours...

Buy yourself a set of ramps and do it in your driveway.

I might do this if not for the numerous times I’ve taken a trailer hitch/attachment to the shin when I wasn’t paying attention. Too many painful memories.

After seeing so many complaints like this, I’m a lot less annoyed with having to turn it off every time before I drive.

Keep an eye on your drainage holes and whatnot. Ziebart clogged up a bunch on an old van of ours and it ended up rusting out from the inside.

Just take it elsewhere for undercoat. You’ll probably find it cheaper and better quality elsewhere. Krown, for instance. My dealer tried to push an undercoat on me and it was going to be a tar-like undercoat, but that stuff just plugs drain holes and creates more rust than it prevents (ask me...

Delete the capless fuel filler. Most infuriating thing I’ve ever used. Not so “Easy” when the pump stops 27 times during a fillup.

One thing I’ve learned in all this - many dealership staff know nothing about their own product.

Confirmed this morning that the outer seats are heated, the bench center segment is not.

I’d have to check to be sure but my rear climate controls have heated seat buttons.

It’s in the settings menu on the instrument cluster. You can also view it on your Fordpass app.

Just having another look at the pics, man that string actually gouged the plastic on the mirror and everything. Wow.

What's the rule these days, 25 horsepower per stripe/per graphic? :-D

Yeah that would have been a damn good garrote wire had the car(s) not taken the hit. Ouch.

Jurassic Park trim package! Hahahaha. But on a more serious note, speeding up the lag between drive mode changes would be one; stopping driver assistance settings like pre-collision and reverse brake assist from defaulting to 'ON' every time the car is turned on would be another.

My old car (2009 Pont. G8 V6) meeting his successor a day before I took delivery.

I have reached the conclusion that it will not stay off unless programmed out. Not sure if that’s something this Forscan everyone talks about can do. I will have to look into it; meanwhile, I have got the process down to a few seconds now so I’m not too bothered by it anymore. Had to do a couple...

I found it to be very abrupt, so I prefer to operate without it. I’ve heard a few horror stories about the brakes applying when not needed. I don’t trust that kind of thing.

The only issue I’m having is the settings reverting. Since they’re safety settings I’m starting to think they may not be the kind of settings that stay off permanently.

Thanks, and I doubt it. I had the misfortune of a pandemic happening in the middle of it. If I hadn’t, it would have been right in line with the 8-12 weeks they said it would be.
