| May 202214800 mi | Hard down-shifts. Transmission “hunting”. Transmission over-hauled. | ||
| Jun 202214800 mi | The audio system quit responding to "instructions" during the pre-delivery prep. The car thought it was at the Ford plant in Dearborn. The dealer disconnected the battery for 15 minutes or so and connected the car to their wi-fi. That restored the audio and GPS function (for about a week). The audio would quit responding altogether or it would not change stations or volume. The manual says that the computer shuts some systems down when the battery gets thin and that seemed to bear out (short trips and commute). I put it on a charger overnight and that restored for a while. Then after the transmission failed and needed to be overhauled, the audio quit again. They tested and found a failed Audio Control Module. I think it's still at the dealership unsaleable due to the rear axle bolt recall and failed module. | ||
