    Sorry. We did buy it new. Never wrecked.

    Thrust angle was out? Does this seem reasonable? He said he has an older alignment machine that does not measure thrust. He took it to another place and said it was out. If thrust angle was out, how does this happen and is this normal? Thank you

    My local shop who installed the last set of tires, checked the suspension parts and all seems fine. They are offering to take it to a frame/alignment shop to double check his work, at no cost to me. :love_shower: I will let you know what they say. They are doing it on Monday.

    I replaced my rear shocks about 90k. I then had new tires and alignment done. I rotated the tires about 10k later. Forgot to do it at 5k. Miles are mostly highway and we don't drive it like a racecar. Today I pulled rear tires off to check suspension and bushings and everything seems seems to be fine. I noticed the driver side seems to have a little more wear on the inside. I attached a picture of it. Any suggestions? Thank you
  7. Hammerle9 started following Heat NOT working, ONLY works on HI setting, 107k and need 5th set of tires...WHY and Serpentine Belt 2013
  8. Hammerle9
    Ha. I wonder what they are talking about. I asked the wife if she had the letter and she said she threw it away. Anything I should do for my 100k service?
  9. Hammerle9
    I have 101k on my 2013. My wife said she just received a notice from Ford that it is time to replace the Serpentine Belt. Is this something I can do myself? Is there any tips or tricks? I replaced it on my minivan and had no issues. I haven't inspected it for cracks or signs of wear yet. Thank you

    Road tested it today and we have HEAT again! Hip Hip Hooray!!!! THANK YOU SOOOoooo MUCH!

    I pulled the negative terminal and left it off for about 20 minutes. It did give me the sound on the buttons back. I did NOT have a chance to road test it...but I think it might have worked.

    We have owned it since new. We currently have 98k on it. Is there a way to check this? Why would it work when placed on HI setting?
  13. Hammerle9
    Just checked. It might be 2-3 ounces low. I will top off tomorrow and check again. My wife also said that it doesn't make a sounds when pushing the auto button. It will make the noise when selecting it from the touch screen, but NOT when selecting the Auto button below. None of the other buttons make a sound also(defrost, rear defrost, etc.) Not sure if this is related.

    It blows cold. It is not warm at all, maybe same as outside air temp? Fan speed adjusts up and down normally.
  15. Hammerle9
    2013 Hybrid with 98k. It blows out warm air only on HI setting. This is the same in electric or gas mode. If I lower the temperature to 85 or below, the temperature of the air coming out is drastically cooler. Any suggestions? Thank you

    Yes we bought it new. The loose nut from the factory seems logical since we have been going through tires so quick. Brake pads seem fine and we do not brake with left foot or drive it like a race car. We try to get a 100% brake score all the time or as close as reasonably possible. We also do gentle accelerations, it is not a drag car. I will take it into my local shop to double check shocks and struts and then have it aligned. Not sure of alignment numbers until I get it done and then I will report back. How do technicians diagnose a shock that would need to be replaced? I would post pictures of tire wear and video of loose nut, but I don't know how. :)

    I tightened the nut on top approx. 1 full turn. SURPRISE = no clinking noise and the wiggle has gone away. Called Ford and asked them why they recommended me to replace the shocks and said they would ask the technician that looked at it. I wonder how often is stuff like this going on? Am I making a bigger deal out of this than I should be? Should I call the Better Business Bureau and file a complaint? Thank you

    I just picked the car back up from Ford. I started looking around and bouncing up and down on the car to test the shocks. I heard a rattle noise I thought was coming from the trunk. I started to look at the shocks, starting with the passenger rear. I wiggled the car and saw the top of the shock moving around making a clunking noise. I jacked the car up and got the wheel off the ground and tried to shake the wheel again. It appeared that the top of the shock did not move. I also checked the driver side rear and had no movement. I climbed in the trunk and had my wife drive me down the driveway to verify that this was the rattle noise we have been hearing and it did not take long to confirm this thankfully. I don't recommend trying this on public roads. There isn't much room. :) It looks like there is a nut on top of the shock, can I just tighten this down or do I need to replace it like Ford wants me to at the cost of $390.00? Also the tread does seem to have some uneven wear only on the passenger side rear. Thank you
