Having recently leased an EV9, I was really impressed to learn about the manual locks hidden in the retracting door handles. I'd love to see Ford adopt this approach, or perhaps a pop-out panel on the a-pillar that would expose a keyhole.
Bumping this up as I only have one wheel & tire left.

I wanted to drop a note of appreciation for this community as I move along away from my 2021 Job 1 MME and into a new vehicle. Thank you all for your tips, tricks, and collective therapy over the past 4 years. Many of you made a huge difference in the way I...

This entire BC journey from promised pricing getting revoked to paused updates for my 2021 job 1, the terrible brakes and pad binding, HVBJB recalls, the abysmal dealer and service experience, no nacs port in 2025, thermal throttling and below average l3 charging has absolutely taken Ford out of...
For the record My vehicle is parked indoors and well maintained, during the week I might have the car out for 20 or 30 miles, but on the weekends I tend to put 200-300 plus miles on.
I just hit 50,000 miles, and I've spotted paint coming off of the island around the shark fin. The paint warranty is only covered by the 36,000 mi bumper to bumper warranty against manufacturer defects, so if you haven't hit your 36,000 mi I would encourage you to check the paint around this edge.
Lashing out?
Exactly. Did you read your own post? ? Pot, meet kettle. I didn't say everyone had problems with BC.
And I have, many of us have, many times. Hence the question if yet another beta experience is something that Ford expects us to pay for.
