I have no issue with paying for road maintenance. I, and the OP have an issue with EV’s being charged more than gas cars.
the proposal for pay per mileage would be great. Most California EV owners also have a second (gas) car in the family used for longer trips, so theoretically our costs...
Last year at this same time I posted about the same thing : https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/vehicle-registration-costs-and-fees.12443/post-303679
In summary, it’s tragic, it’s unfair, and it’s the way it is.
Oh and by the way, my registration this year in California is almost $800. I’d...
So, no, I haven't received any OTA updates... unless you mean the failed attempted update.
So my car has been at the dealership since Wednesday. They are doing a better job of calling each day with an update, but they are saying they got locked out of the VIN and need to reach out to a Ford...
Just dropped my car off today to get it across the finish line. 30 days ago I had all modules updated via FDRS except the APIM which failed using FDRS. The service department applied the windshield recall and then held my car for a week without telling me they needed to order adaptors.
So it's...
Isn't there a way for you to make this an actual poll with votes tabulated?
My answer: C

Just finished speaking with the service manager from Sunnyvale Ford.
They gave my car back today without applying the TSB or updating the APIM. They claim that they did not understand what I was bringing the car in for, even though it's listed on the service notes. Says they are waiting to...
Tomorrow marks 5 days at the dealership. As far as I can tell their schedule was:
Monday : Nothing (dropped off 8am but they didn't touch it for the entire day)
Tuesday: Windshield and Roof recalls
Wednesday: APIM module update
Thursday: ?????
Friday: ?????
I will be calling them mid-morning...
I have been lurking on this thread for a while now. My car has never taken an OTA update (built 12/2020, delivered 02/2021, OTA failed once 11/2021) but I thought I could get around it by updating all of the modules via FDRS.
I was able to get all of the modules updated except APIM which...
If someone is in the rear seat while the car is running, and you get out of the vehicle, there are no alerts or car horns happening UNLESS you close your driver door after you get out with the key. This is TOTALLY annoying and I totally understand this issue.
But this issue has nothing to do...
Maybe I'm missing something.
1. The alert that displays when a person gets out of the back seat while the car is running shows up on the driver display as a seatbelt warning. This is easily remedied by pressing the OK button on the steering wheel.
2. The Rear Occupancy Alert option in the...
I leave my rear occupant alert set to on. You never have to worry about it if you don't have rear passengers, and the few times that you do might prompt an alert that easily goes away with one press of the "OK" button on the steering wheel.
What's the reason to turn the alert off?
Yea sadly I haven’t crossed that finish line yet. My USB port would not read the USB drive created by FDRS (after a 3 hour file download/transfer). I’m proceeding as if I need the TSB process done at the dealership in order to bypass the gateway module.
This should be the last step before I get...
...Was just about to point out that there are no Rapid Red Mach E's in this photo and that I could remedy that by heading to the next meetup in Richmond.......
Until I realized this is Richmond Virginia and not Richmond California 😳
This is not my experience either.
My dealer service department (Frontier) straight up told me that they would not be doing the windshield or any glass recalls because they don't have a glass guy/gal. Told me I had to find the next closest dealership to schedule that appointment.
It's taking...
