Lately, I've been having a lot of trouble with multi-day waits at central NJ Ford dealers to get recalls or updates handled. I dropped my car off at the dealer last Wednesday for the HVBJB recall. I'd been told when I made the appointment that it should be an overnight job. Instead, the front...

I've had a problem over the last two or three days where the cabin heat is very loud. There's a loud mechanical whirring coming from behind the dashboard that gets louder in proportion to the target heat temperature. It stops if you turn the cabin heat off. Temperatures have been pretty mild...

I gave in and signed up for the paid BlueCruise subscription (it was an easier decision because I get 3 years for $600 as the owner of a Job 1). I entered my payment info, and the message suggested I was going to be charged on or before December 31. But no charge so far. Has anyone else been...

The last I heard, BlueCruise is going to become an expensive monthly subscription in 30 days or so. Has anyone received any communication about exactly when this will happen or even where you would enter payment information?

Last week, the TPMS sensors for all four tires went off, so I brought the car to a nearby dealer to get the tires checked out. They checked for leaks, re-pressurized the tires and sent me on my way. I didn't notice it when I first drove away, but ever since that visit, the car no longer unlocks...

For the two years I've owned it, if I approach my Mach-E with the key in my pocket, I can just press the open button on the driver or passenger doors to unlock and open the car. After getting a tire pressure warning and bringing the car to the dealer, it no longer does. The dealer doesn't know...

Driving home from New England back to central NJ this weekend, I hit a new efficiency record. This was highway driving with BlueCruise on, after an hour and a half or so behind the wheel. Gotta love the CA Route 1.

Is there any information about whether the Tesla charges will be supported through Plug & Charge? Since all Tesla chargers are about to be CCS-compatible anyway, I’m wondering if the point of the deal is that Tesla chargers will be usable without the Tesla app, etc.

Just brought my '21 MME in for its 20k service. The guy at the service desk told me a BlueCruise recall was showing up for my car, but it wasn't available yet. He didn't have any more information about it. Does anyone with FDRS know if this could be the BlueCruise 1.2 update? I realize it could...

Currently my 2021 MME has a theoretical max charge rate of 150 KW. In practice, it doesn’t usually get higher than about 110 KW at a DCFC station. But the newest EA chargers now have max rates of 350 KW, and you can guess that future EVs will be able to use all of that. Is it possible that a...

I've never been a person who cared a ton about keeping their car in perfect shape. But when I got the MME, I became a changed person: I had ceramic applied, I had some PPF put on, I only do hand washes, etc. The result is that the car's exterior is in near pristine shape after almost two years...

Can anyone recommend a good hand car wash in central NJ (Mercer County)? There are one or two detailers here who will do it, but you need to get an advance appointment and it can take over an hour. I know of a dedicated place in Eatontown where you can just drive up and get the car hand washed...

Over the last week or two, my rear window has not been dispensing washer fluid. There is fluid in the car, and the front windshield washer works perfectly. Anyone had this happen? If so, what did you do? The front and rear wipers both share the same reservoir, right?

I have a lot of FordPass points I got from the purchase of the car, and I think I'm supposed to get a few more from my 10k service, but I don't really have any good ideas about what to use them for. Has anyone bought anything really useful with your FordPass rewards?

I just took a road trip that went pretty well. But now I'm thinking about how this trip would go in the winter, when range is reduced. Is there a rule of thumb or multiplier for converting summer range to winter range? Or maybe for converting summer mi/kWh to winter mi/kWh? How do you plan a...

We just got back last night from the first road trip we took in our Mach-E. Prior to this trip, the longest we'd driven the car in a single day was 200 miles. We took the car to visit family in North Carolina for the July 4th weekend. Overall, I would say the trip went very well and exceeded my...

Last week, I got the free BlueCruise software update and tried it out for the first time. When I got on the interstate and I turned on lane centering and cruise control, the entire instrument cluster turned blue to indicate that BlueCruise was on. It was great. However, since that first trip...

My wife diagnosed a new condition we're calling "Mustang Neck." It can strike both passersby and nearby drivers - symptoms include sudden involuntary swiveling of the head to track the car as it passes and potentially involuntary gaping. Often the victim is not even aware of their actions...

I'm taking a road trip in July and want to join the Electrify America membership in order to get the discount while fast charging on the road. But currently, as soon as I plug into an EA charger, the charger uses Ford's Blue Oval Charging Network and charges to my credit card on file with Ford...

I’m sure this question has been asked before but I haven’t been able to find it. The MME has a max charge rate of 150KW. I went to an EA charger today that had a big sticker that says “CCS up to 150KW.” However, the EA console mostly shows around 90KW during the charge session. Occasionally, it...
