Yeah but that would take one trip to the dealer to fix... NOT 13 IN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP!!

Rattles won't make me sell a car... 13 trips to the dealer later week after week month after month would. The car I want isn't out just yet and I'm never doing a first model year again. So 2016 here I come Acrua RLX Hybrid.

Tonnnsssss we've seen tons of them. You're probably on these forums more often than I am and you've seen the number of complains about these cars. Headliners to batteries, windows to wheels...

And how many hundreds of thousands of security updates has windows 7 had? LOL KB9808828283903303090.... Also OS X runs Unix under the hood, not Linux.

LOL HERE AND THERE? Oh look at poor JSCullin from this thread http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/topic/56279-dealership-is-inept-ford-customer-care-is-useless/ These cars really do have a crap build quality. The poor guys car is leaking water into the buttons and controls, I'm surprised the thing hasn't shorted and caught on fire.

I gave up... The build on these cars is complete crap. Thinking of buying the service manual and doing it my self. The whole freaking car rattles like crap. Now I know why everyone buys the Japanese auto makers... Ford - been there done that, waste of my eff*ing life. I've personally been do the dealership 13 times for problems with the car.

With the reduction in value of buying a Ford anyways, I would have just ignored this... You can buy the paint your self online. Its on the underside of the car and no one will really notice. Residual value on these cars is going to be pretty bad with all the problems everyone has encountered.

You will need a relay harness as I did. This is how mine is connected: - There is a positive terminal under the hood under a red rubber bobble. Anywhere else will give you negative. - Those two are connected to the relay. - The relay is also connected to the wire coming out from the driver side bulb fixture. The existing bulb connection is sent through the rubber stopper to the relay. *** Be careful, the bulb connector doesn't look like its polarized in any way. Use a multimeter to make sure the black wire going to your relay is negative. - The relay is connected to the driver side ballast and the passenger side ballast. - Good to go.

This is a serious problem on a $36,000 CAD car... Anyways the trip to the dealer did not help, the issue still remains. I will try once more and will gather all the documentation I can and might need to end up going to CAMVAP for arbitration. I am only kicking my self for not doing it earlier, if my car was under 30,000 KM when I started abitration I would have gotten nearly 100% of the purchase price back if they chose to do a buy-back (30% odds). Will probably also try another dealer too, the problem is it only occurrs after the car is cold and has sat for an hour. Otherwise I'm out about $5-8,000 for "Use of the vehicle".

Thanks for the advice! I will contact her on Friday if the issue isn't resolved, they're going to have a new CV shaft tomorrow that will be replace (ie: again, it was their first guess for the cracking noise).

No go jack your own thread.

The amp is in the head unit.

This is kind of a serious topic... Seems like Ford's have more problems left right and center than any other forum I prowl. Even my landlord who drives a fusion has the whole interior is peeling to s*** problem. Headliner (winkles and falls apart on the edges). Brakes (sequeel and click). Transmissions (jerk and break 6F35 anyone?). Rattles (everywhere). Trunks (don't even open). Radios (hiss and sass at you all day). Batteries (don't keep a charge) and Power (don't even charge em). Door Lights (burned out from the factory). Windows (one touch doesn't even work windows stay open). Trim (doesn't fit, maybe never meant to be). Wheels (peel like banannas). Does anyone know if ford actually even does QA before it leaves the plant or is it just "Yup look a car came out!"

Thanks for the reply. They said that also, but its not really on first break and its even occurrs on the street sometime after diring for a while. In the driveway in the morning I can go up and down several times and it will do it repeatedly.

Hmm, did you try changing the prompt volume? If you press the voice command button and fiddle with the volume knob you change the prompt volume.

Espcially one as problem prone as this one!!!

Hi all, I've had this issue for more than I can remeber, the car didn't have this noise until the TSB for the Ping / Click / Pop sound was done. Now ever morning the car makes a vary serious metal breaking sound. Look at these videos below. It happens every single morning, has anyone had any expeirnece? They a the second last time I was there the technician reproduced it. Now they said they can't reproduce it and they need to be able to do it again. The nerve of the dealship is insane, they told me "Could be uneven road surfaces" what a jerk. http://youtu.be/4x6itN2it-E http://youtu.be/V_i318sA3p4

What do you do for a living jinx8402?

I'm CTO of a software engineering company and have done Android Developement for over 4 years and HTML5 development for over 3... Performance is performance and HTML anything is mediocre at best.

So now here is CarPlay... You're really smart

From one half baked solution to another! Really? HTML 5? Come on guys this isn't 2008... 2014 and the future deserve a better offering.

They would be stupid to continue usingFlagh / HTML 5... You can leverage the power of the operating system including its animations, views and layouts easily. I never said you would allow customers to download apps, but including them for Ford would be trivial. iOS is proprietary and owned by Apple and today would never see the light of day in a car. Mr snarky!

They should go with Android... They would have had access to literally millions of apps that are compatible right out of the box... From Pandora and Tune In to Google Maps and Gmail. Its fast, stable and very touch friendly. The license if free as in air. Best of all modifying it and burning it into custom boards is usually a straight forward process with decent amounts of documentation out there. The UI development would be a piece of cake, there are thousands of materials to read online. Going with QNX means you have to re-invent the wheel (again and literally) just to do many of the things you can on an Android phone out of the box. The only real con I see is the fact that current Sync platforms are ~ 400 Mhz single core processors, you'd need something with a little more oomph.
