    Strange tire wear issue?

    Yep. Your run of the mill alignment assumes the structure is perfect. Although it would be highly unlikely you could get a spec alignment if the frame is bent.

    problems associated with fuel pump replacement?

    Also consider the fuel level sensor is not working correctly. They are integral to the fuel pump nowadays.

    Strange tire wear issue?

    A loose or worn suspension component can allow the tire to lean one way and then the other. Anything that can cause/allow the front wheels to point in different directions is suspect, including the bearings. It doesn't take much. Toe, camber, and castor are the 3 dimensions that must be...

    Strange tire wear issue?

    Thats a toe issue. Since you say it was in an accident and apparently passed an alignment, I'd take a look at the tie rods/control arms to see if they're bent (just to be sure). Bad ball joints can also cause accelerated and uneven tire wear.

    2017 Expedition Sync 3 travel link issue

    I recall having a similar issue on my 2017 when I bought it new. There is a procedure to reset the Sirius system, don't remember off the top of my head what it was. Also, it can take a minute or two for the apps to "hook up" when you turn on the system. The icons show "?" until they get...

    Looking to buy soon with lots of questions

    Now that its been 11-12 years since the last of those plugs were originally installed, any car still using those factory plugs should be just a piece of crap, indicating an extreme lack of maintenance.

    Looking to buy soon with lots of questions

    The issue is that in the mid 2000s, Ford used a two-piece spark plug in several engine designs. It didn't take long to discover that the design of the head, coupled with the design of the plug, was poor. The plugs were collecting carbon in the plug well which acted like a glue between the head...

    Water condensate dripping

    The AC compressor will cycle on and off when you're in Auto. Its function is to dehumidify the cabin....even when its cold outside. You can turn the compressor off by pushing the "AC" button (indicator light OFF) if you want. You'll notice the difference in the cabin atmosphere pretty quick.

    Towing problems

    I can vouch for the bobbing. Had a 31' motorhome (Class C), and at the right speed on the right road (usually I-95 in SC or GA) it would literally be jumping hard enough to launch dishes out of the sink, or turn the rear bed into a trampoline. All I had to do was speed up or slow down by 2-3...

    new owner of 2017 expy el platinum- the horn goes off intermittently

    In your example, the issues were 1) breach of contract (assuming a "we owe you" existed), and 2) the dealer agreed to give you your money back for reasons other than law, and not because 'I don't want it anymore'. I don't know of any state that requires a "cooling off" period but, certainly, no...

    Second Battery Location

    I recommend you read up on installing batteries of different design and capacity in the same electrical circuit. It can be done safely; just a tip for your consideration. Can't help with the location, though.

    Sure it did. From all the "investors" that bought into it. Now, how did the investors do? And where are the products?

    When an agenda-driven government puts itself in charge of social engineering with causes such as AGW/Climate Change, you get lots of Solyndras.

    Energy Star is pretty much a scam. Its a self-reporting/certifying program, has no verification requirements, and there are no penalties for lying. https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=125912545
