That was quick. Thank you! I will quit looking. Kind of odd "feature"

This is straight from the online owners manual. Opening and Closing the Moonroof Touch (A) to open the moonroof. It will stop short of the fully opened position. Note:This position helps to reduce wind noise or rumbling which may happen with the moonroof fully open. Touch (A) again to fully open the moonroof. Touch © to close the moonroof. Simple question of if I can change the setting so the moonroof opens 100% when i hit button A. Obviously not a huge issue, but id like to personalize it if i can. I tried to ask on the owners.lincoln website but didnt have any luck.

When you say "same rattle' do you mean the same as mine near B Pillar? Or are you dealing with a different issue? Good Luck!

I guess im going to bite the bullet and drop the ~$600 for a new rim. I have tried over the past month to "live with it" and its just not gonna happen. Im in a 2014 "luxury sedan" and constantly have clients in my "luxury sedan" that sounds like a complete P.O.S. that is going to fall apart. I know I can probably get a whole new set of rims for the same price but I've never been a "rim guy"...

So "bent wheel" which was on driver side front, is now on driver side back. Rattle, which is on passenger side B-Pillar is still present at the exact same circumstances as before... Why do i think this will be a long and drawn out purpose trying to resolve? First trip for service had me sitting an hour for my "lincoln loaner" (which turned out be be an 11 MKZ) because my appointment (which i had for 2 weeks) was only added to their schedule that day at noon and they had no loaners left. This dealer is about 45 mins out of my way and the I cant see me dealing with this for repeated visits. I have a lincoln dealer about 5 mins from my house, wondering if I should start servicing there?

well hate to say it but not off to a good start with Lincoln or my dealer. Just heard back from the dealer and they say it is a bent wheel, on a 2 week old car... which the "bumper to bumper" doesnt cover. Would make sense to me if I honestly felt like i hit something at speed or impact to bend a wheel but I cant make sense of it. If normal driving will bend these wheels i will have 4 bent in no time. They are putting the wheel on the rear in the hopes that the vibration will go away. If not, its ~$600 for a new wheel. not much else to do i suppose than feel disgusted.

Anything specific to look at? It does seem like the rattle is coming from this area, but i dont see any visual problems with the trim (interior/exterior) and I tried to reach over and grab the seatbelt retractor while driving but it didnt seem to help. It is hard to do this at speed while in the car by myself.... It is such a sporadic problem that I have a feeling it will be tough to nail down... I had to push my dealer appointment back to next week (due to my own schedule)... would be nice if this works itself out as the car "breaks in" as i have no faith in them realistically being able to diagnose an issue that only happens @~80mph.

Hah, i havnt filled out their sales survey yet (telling them i wanted to see how the service went first)... The salesman tells me, and i agree, that the service department has nothing to do with my sales survey... but this guy sure is on the ball with getting me in and setting me up in a nice loaner... Side note, i have never seen such obsession with a survey. During the sale, it was mentioned a good 5-6 times and explained to me that anything less than 5 (on a 1-5 rating) is fail for them... even though "4" is "exceptional, or whatever, it still is a fail for the salesman... I have heard grumbles from salesmen for many dealers about how they dont really get rewards for good surveys but get punishment for bad surveys... I guess I never realized it was important to them though... pretty funny.

Ill try to pay more attention to the feel of the wheel when it happens, but to this point, i havnt noticed anything other than the loud rattle from passenger side of the car. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. It is odd as if i accelerate past 80 it seems to stop. So it is a somewhat violent rattle only at 79/80/81 mph... good luck diagnosing that! I roundtrip commute 80-90 miles / day and just so happens that most of that is at ~75mph. It is common for me to cruise up a bit when passing and such so im experiencing this rattle many times per commute. Could be a minor issue but hearing this is not what a "luxury sedan" should sound like!!!

Hi all, I purchased a new 14 MKZ 2.0 ecoboost last week and have put about 900 miles on to this point. I just returned from a long trip that was mostly highway. TBH, the car does feel like it is "breaking in" a bit as it seemed a bit bouncy and tight the first week. Also, my first two tanks where around 22-23mpg (with lots of highway driving) and now my current tank seems to be getting 30/31 highway (again? breaking in?) Anywho, the reason im here is: I noticed at almost exactly 80mph there seems to be a rattle/vibration from (what sounds like) the front or rear passenger side door (perhaps near the top of the windows). With any vibration/rattle it is hard to narrow down, especially at speed. This happened enough for me to notice both going and coming on this trip. It seems be be almost exactly at 80mph and feel like it happens right after i stop accelerating. So perhaps im going 81/82 and coasting a bit lower when it happen. It doesnt seem to happen during acceleration which would seem to make more sense. Car does have a moon roof (non-panoramic) but doesnt seem like the rattle is coming from that. I have some VM from my dealer checking in on me and ill be sure to mention/ask when i talk to him, but wanted to see if anyone else had anything similar??? Something like this will be tough if not impossible for a dealer to troubleshoot as it would even be hard to replicate cruising @ ~80 anywhere near the dealer. Thoughts? Thanks edit, dealer hadnt hear of this specific problem but said it could be lots of things re: alignment/wheels/trim/etc. and set me up for a drop off and loaner lincoln next week. Has anyone experienced anything similar with 2014 Fusion/MKZ? Thanks
