    Lemon Law

    Hi All . I have been reading ongoing for the last while yet not posting. Not to Hijack this thread in any way.

    Door trim misalignment with the dash

    I had two different 2013 EXP XLTs last week as rentals, both of the cars have the same mis alignment as my 2011 LTD , as well as huge gaps between the door and dash. This is not as much an assembly issue as much as a design issue. I am looking at getting a 2013 MKX as I will not need as big a...

    Consumer Reports Article on MFT

    Cant argue to much with what Consumers report says here about MY FORD TOUCH. I have had the update , and while touch commands are much better still not great , the voice recognition for commands etc still sucks large, and does not recognise what is said 80% of the time . I was at the GM dealer...

    Cleaning & Conditioner for Leather Seats

    The leather that is used in our explorers is what we call in the shoe industry corrected leather , or PU leather. This is a very inexpensive piece of leather with a coating , that gives the leather a much higher quality look to it than it really is. You can use either a leather cleaner on it or...

    Explorer A-Pillar Rattle/Noise

    I finally got my car back to the dealer this afternoon.

    AWD vs FWD

    I live in Toronto and drive a 2011 FWD LIMITED, standard 20 in tires. I have never had an issue with FWD and have never used snowes either. Just drive within the means of the weather and you will not have an issue. Also had a 2009 FLEX LIMITED FWD, same thing.AWD and terrain control is cool, but...

For the door alignment he took off the...

    General Motors My Link

    Thx Sarg. Yes you are right . There are a few videos out there , it was the Caddy system that I was looking at. And yes this does at the moment seem to be a much smoother system from the short video.

    General Motors My Link

    I agree that I like the screen and ability to change functions with MFT. My link as well is not voice control as Ford Touch, just stating the swiftness of the system as shown on the video, when touch screen is utilized.

    General Motors My Link

    I just watched a short video on GM INSIDE NEWS.COM on their new my link system. This system is as fast as an i pad in terms of connectivity and reaction to touch on the screen, this is what my ford touch hopefully will be like with the up grade in the next 2 months or so. If not Ford will...

    FWD vs. 4WD

    Prior to my new X FWD I have owned FLEX FWD ,and ESCAPE AWD. When driving the Flex I never had a REAL issue with it being FWD. Moral of the story being if you drive careful in rough weather, you will be fine with FWD. It all comes down to being a careful driver or a road jockey.
