Now Recalls to Fix Prior Recalls Repaired Incorrectly

There are two new recalls for Ford vehicles to fix previous recalls that were repaired incorrectly. This one may apply to my 2017 F150. This has become more than tiresome Ford.

2021 Badlands RDU Saga

Took my wife’s bronco in to dealership with 47k with grinding/chattering noise. They did extended the vent tube and fluid swap. She said it seemed to fix it. 58k miles wife takes it in again for the grinding/chattering the tech says it’s the rear brakes making noise and that we can get new ones and it will go away. Now at 72,800 miles the sound comes back again 800 miles outside of our extended warranty. After 10 days of sitting waiting to be diagnosed this is what I got from the service…

How to enable Traffic Sign Recognition and Speed Sign Recognition in 2025 BS Badlands?

How to enable Traffic Sign Recognition and Speed Sign Recognition in 2025 BS Badlands?
I recently purchased a 2025 BS Badlands. I understand Speed Sign Recognition and Speed Limit Assist should be included with this package. The online owner’s manual for my vehicle indicates they should be under the Driver Assistance Menu but, I have not been able to find them there.

Could someone tell me if it is hidden elsewhere and how to enable the alerts? (I can’t afford any more speeding tickets!)

Thanks In Advance,

Mike

Big Bend brake suggestions

I have a 2025 sport big bend and I am going to have to replace my front brakes soon. After the issues I had trying to find an engine air filter that would actually fit and an oil filter that would actually fit that was not FRAM because of there bankruptcy I’m not sure I can trust parts stores for brakes or any parts since they all seem to be wrong for the 2025 model. For my engine air filter and the oil filter all stores websites said the one I bought would fit but of course they didn’t, the…

Auto Start/Stop Technique

Here’s something I discovered quite by accident the other day that might mitigate some of the dislike for the auto stop/start system. I know my biggest beef is the slight delay after stepping on the accelerator pedal (while the engine starts) before I get any actual acceleration. It’s an acceptable delay in my opinion, but if you hate, hate, hate it nonetheless, you can avoid it by giving your steering wheel a slight twist just before the light changes. When you do, the engine will start…

What Was Your Father’s Old Car?

Father’s Day is just around the corner. So let’s talk about dads’ old cars.

Think back to those weekend road trips, grocery runs, and the daily rides to school. Those cars hold the sounds, the laughs, and the simple moments that made us who we are today.

What did your dad drive when you were growing up, and what’s the one memory that still stands out to you?

It would be great if you could share a photo of that old ride!

Enough is enough. Auto stop/start.

Alright I gave it over two months and I hate the auto stop start function. 🤣 I loathe it. Sure it probably saves gas, but I want to get rid of it. It is just simply annoying. If you like it, fine, I don’t. Is there anybody in the Va Beach area that has Forscan and knows how to turn it off? I haven’t found much else that I dislike about the Bronco. (No spare tire is another)However, I can’t see myself buying a laptop and then a subscription to Forscan just to turn this off. Thanks in advance.
