    How many miles do you have on yours? I'm at 480 miles and I see 35-40 on the instant MPG on mile once the engine is warmer up and battery charged. I have to be cruising at ~70MPH to see it and as soon as I touch the gas pedal, it goes back down to 20 mpg. But it will sustain the high speed and get close to 4o mpg.

    Download this to an empty USB flash drive and keep it in your car: http://outofmytouch.com/reboot.html It comes from one of the SYNC updates and has a delayed reboot file on it. It's as good as a master reset without setting everything back to factory defaults. When you download this, remember to extract it directly to the root of the flash drive. Don't extract it to the PC and copy it to the flash drive.

    My lights are two! Seriously though, my Gti has them and I also always turned on the fog lights I'm mostly upset that a car that is 12 years newer doesn't have such a basic feature ....

    I took another look at my steering wheel and have no issues with the leather on it. It's my first car with a leather steering wheel, so have nothing to compare it with.

    This website will tell you what your VIN means, but as mentioned - it doesn't show the color: https://www.fleet.ford.com/maintenance/vin_tools/default.asp Fastronaut, Malibu didn't receive a DORA ... I would go to the dealer and not leave the showroom until they give you the DORA

    Don't worry about it until 4/27 (your ETA). You can also try tracking it through CSX (that's the only way I was able to track mine, even though UP and NS had it).

    Good luck with that one! Check for rolled in fenders, scratches, etc ...

    Someone else on here said each change will delay your build day by a week. I think you can make changes up to the point you have a window sticker.
  12. neod192
    You can make changes, but the actual build date gets delayed. My dealer was afraid to make any changes, because I would most likely lose my spot in line. BTW, if you have a VIN your car also had a scheduled to week date. They're both generated when the order is scheduled.

    Here's what it looks like with adaptive cruise enabled. It's a little blury as I was driving, but you can see ECO and Lane Assist are enabled. Adaptive Cruise adds the white line aboce EDO and the little "car" above that white line. There's also 2 buttons on the left side of the steering wheel that let me select the following distance. I only have one white line in this pic, so that's the closest distance it can select.

    Just heard back from the dealer - they weren't able to turn them on I even asked them if there are any parts we can order and add them, but they said they're controlled by the car's main computer and they don't have the option to turn them on. Bummer!

    Any updates on this "computer update"? I just had my dealer try it and they didn't have the option to turn them on yet.

    How romantic, lol

    Your build date is most likely today. Etis will update tomorrow and you'll be able to see it yourself Congrats! Hope is doesn't take a vacation in Mexico!

    Same here, and the dealer said I'll get any money the dealer gets from Ford. The issue is that Ford will not refund the dealer for the difference! Yup. My dealer says I should get some $ back - I'll believe it when I see it. If they're right, I'm pretty sure it'll be the difference between the new and old price and we'll lose the aluminum brake pedals and the $100 (or x-plan equivalent) that comes with the change. They didn't know how much or when I'll see the refund ... They're estimating 90 days?

    I called Ford Customer Relations as well as the AXZ plan line to see how this works and they have never heard of it. The dealer buys the car from Ford for a price (car's invoice) and sells it to us. Any price discussion happens between you and the dealer and Ford wants no involvement. Ford also doesn't reimburse dealers for the price increase. I'm afraid to say it, but if we signed the purchase order with the new price, we're screwed. We agreed to pay that higher price and we'll never see a dime for the increase.

    There's a way to just restart it w/out losing everything. Remind me to share it tomorrow.

    Getting 35 MPG? Awesome ! I'm getting that in the Hybrid with less power

    Well, I called them anyway and it sounds like they received a bad AAA film from the factory and they're expecting the replacement film on Wednesday. Back-order orders should go out on Friday. What's weird though, is that they already charged my CC on the 9th! I asked them why they charged it and said it was by mistake, lol. I was hoping they would offer free shipping for the delay or something like that, but nope!
  23. neod192
    I was going to call them and ask if my order shipped and just saw the same e-mail .. boo!

    Some of the Ford promotional materials show pictures of the driver's side mirror with the BLIS and Heated mirror picture: My car has BLIS, but not the heated mirror picture: I then found this Ford video, which explains that is you have BLIS, the heated mirror icon shouldn't be there - which makes me feel better about my car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=86pxxRHQf2U So what about you car? If you have BLIS, do you also have the heater mirror picture or not? I also have a small (half inch?) border on my mirror - what is that? Is that what makes the mirror auto-dim?

    Any changes in HD radio reception? I already have a hard time acquiring an HD signal.
