Does it require premium or premium is just recommended to get the advertised performance?
-
Forscan is the only way as far as I know.

Don't go by the app or anything online. There is a sticker in the driver's door jamb that tells you the correct pressure for your vehicle. I think it is 35 but you can normally run anywhere from 35-40 usually with no issues. If you run higher than 37 keep an eye on tire wear.
-
It's possible - maybe it overheated? Can't think of anything else that would take out the engine oil seals and ptu coolant seals at the same time. I was thinking more of an environmental issue with the engine at the factory. But who knows. I agree that Ford should just replace the vehicle no questions asked.
-
That’s not QC - something catastrophic happened with that engine for all those seals to leak at the same time. Or sabotaged.
-
Also post a video of the lights moving at startup so we can see what it looks like.
-
They did (see video above) but they're illegal in the US right now. DOT has said they're looking at changing the regulations to make them legal but I haven't seen a timeframe.

Ford has been misrepresenting the adaptive LEDs on the MKX for at least a year if not two. I think they were planned but the way they work (turning on and off different elements) runs afoul of hopelessly out of date DOT regulations. Why they can't get this right in the marketing and order guide is a mystery.
-
Or the idiots who put LED light bars for off roading on their trucks and use them on the road. Makes me want to throw a brick through them.
-
I agree they're useless in fog and at speed but at lower speeds especially when turning I like the extra light.
-
There are many reports of MKX owners with the "adaptive LEDs" saying they don't do a light sweep ever (including startup). The LEDs don't move like the HIDs do - they're supposed to just turn on different elements that point to the sides.

2019 Owners initial impression review

Only if you pay extra for that feature. -
A plan is for active employees. Z plan is for retirees. I think it’s the same price.

Seems to be set up for questions only - don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.
-
Yes they can detect a previous tune although it's unlikely to be an issue unless you blow an engine or tranny.
-
All of the cases I can remember were the booster and/or the master cylinder (barring an actual fluid leak somewhere). There is an extended warranty on the booster. Just because they said they replaced something doesn't mean they did it correctly.

I thought there was a display that would show you the torque distribution.

Answering Incoming Phone Calls
akirby replied to alblundo's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
There is no easy way to switch between phones but letting the driver use bluetooth is definitely the best solution. If the passenger gets a call they can always switch phones and put it on the speaker. -
Any modification can cause denial of a warranty claim (but not voiding the warranty). But it has to be something related to the failure. If you use a tuner and your radio stops working they can’t deny that claim. But if your transmission fails and it appears to be too much torque and you have a tune they probably won’t cover that.
-
The best way to describe it is to kick your foot up and touch your shoelaces to the bottom of the bumper on either side of center. At least that always works for me.
