    Freaking Catalytic Converters stolen!!

    So sorry to hear it. I've heard reports of this happening to a few Toyota Prius' in our neck of the woods in North Seattle. I'm a little nervous since our 2nd car is a Prius. It's especially amazing they could even get under the prius to cut them out - that car is so low I have to drive up...

    Beware - Titus Will Ford Tacoma, WA

    Posting this in General for more visibility. Hoping someone related to the dealership reads it. If they address the damages incurred the last time they had it, I will take the post down. TL;DR salesman didn't stick to his promises and service department doesn't know what they are doing and...

    Pissed over new aluminum wheels in winter

    Interesting, I've been up in the snow a few times and that's not happening to my 22"s. I'm not sure here in the PNW, I suspect they might tend to use less salt and more sand and other stuff. How did the Blizzaks handle?

    Interior water leak?

    And the drama continues. NOTE: Titus Will Ford Tacoma, beware. Went to pick it up and noticed the flap inside the passenger wheelwell was missing?! WTF. Got the guy to come and he haphazardly said, oh, lemme go check if it's on my workbench... minutes later it was in, but really?? Here was...

    Cell Phone Holder recommendations?

    I saw another thread about switching the coin holder to a magnetic phone holder. Cool! I do have that type of cell phone holder, but it's a suction cup that sticks to any flat surface. It worked great on my last vehicle but there is no flat surface on the Expy dash! I have the tow package...

    2017 vs 2019 Interior Panel

    I believe that's accurate. Our 2018 had a problem with the spring and it was slightly raised when we bought it. The salesman said it would get fixed, along with a few other minor issues. After the service, the flap still is not perfect and when I asked to have it replaced with new, they said...

    Interior water leak?

    Yes, that is true. Fortunately, it's just a little water in the floor, so if it gets fixed, I'll be fine. But I have been reading this forum too much. I did notice the startup rattle and after reading through all 12 pages of that thread, I'm a little paranoid. But, I have the extended...

    Interior water leak?

    Wanted to go skiing today so I threw a rocket box on the Escape. Small, but a nice ride considering it is 1/3 the cost of our leaky Expy! Dealer called Friday and the report is interesting... Ford instructed them to replace some kind of Evaporation module related to the AC? They had to pull...

    22" All Season Tires

    Thanks for posting pics. How is the ride noise? And how is the snow traction. I too am disappointed with the Hankooks. I was embarrassed to have to switch to 4x4 low just to traverse a relatively flat ski area parking lot! Do you have a pic of the vehicle with the Conti's? Traction and...

    Hot Cargo Area with Seats down

    Last night after returning from a 2hr trip skiing, the skis and other items at the bottom of the pile were really warm. Not a big deal, but when I had trouble holding the them due to heat, I got worried the wax might be affected. After getting all the gear out, the heat seemed to be coming...

    Interior water leak?

    Good question. The previous two times, no. This time I insisted (since it's ski season and I know they will need it for many days again). This time they said they will provide an AWD Escape. Not comparable, but it will do. Just have to wait until Monday for the service manager to get in and...

    What coolfeature have you discovered recently?

    I know this is an old thread, but seriously!? I was banging my head in the snow at the ski area last night, afraid to leave the vehicle. I was sure there was a way to turn off that ridiculous light. Thanks to the geniuses here for the info, now I can sort of relax. FYI, in my scouring of the...

    Interior water leak?

    Ugh, wife and I took a nice relaxing drive on Christmas only to discover the passenger floor is soaked again!! This is maddening! Texted the salesman and service manager. Hoping to bring it back ASAP. Fearful we got a lemon. I really hope Titus Will Tacoma can figure how the heck to...

    Question about Canadian Import Expeditions

    I've had our Canadian model back to the (US) dealer twice now. Both times when I get in to leave, I noticed the display is back to Km/h, Celsius, and 24 hour clock. So odd!?! The first time I had to call the tech back out to help me restore the settings! First time was for servicing the...

    Interior water leak?

    Good news, got our Expy back. They had found mildew on the pad so Ford Replaced the pad and carpet. The dealer redeemed themselves by detailing the vehicle AND filling the gas tank, since they had it for a week!. Crossing my fingers it stays dry. Interesting side-note: I've left it with the...

    Interior water leak?

    Good news, sort of. The dealer called back to let me know it was taking longer than expected to dry out the pad. They pulled it completely out and found mildew. Ford will be replacing it, it's just going to take 5-7 days. I really hope this gets resolved...

    Do you really need an extended warranty?

    Follow up question - Do dealers give you a bad time if you do your own regular maintenance, like oil/filter changes? I would hate to drop $1700 bucks then tell me I voided the warranty by putting in a non-Motorcraft oil filter.

    Do you really need an extended warranty?

    It just occurred to me the max ESP is 8 years since purchase. I don't drive that many miles so I only need a 75k mile plan, and that is a stretch. Brings the price down quite a bit. Thanks for the suggestions - likely going with Flood Ford for about $1670 with key coverage. Gonna sleep on it.

    Deep sleep mode

    Interesting... haven't run across this app in anything related to our 2018 Expy yet. Not sure its available on the earlier models in this forum.

    Do you really need an extended warranty?

    So where do folks recommend 'shopping around', other Ford Dealerships? I was offered I believe a 10 year bumper to bumper for $3400 (I think?) from Titus Will in Tacoma, WA and declined, merely because I've always heard they are a waste of money. However, after the water leak issues I'm...

    Interior water leak?

    From the dealer, "There was an elbow shaped hose for AC drainage that was causing the leak". Funny, that sounds just like the technical bulletin the salesman found and they supposedly fixed the first time I brought it in! I'm eager to clarify what the heck happened the first time, when I go...

    Question about Canadian Import Expeditions

    @EngRWW33 you can change the display units. There is one option in the driver display and another in the center display. Unless you are talking about the Analog Speed Gauge - but doesn't that have both anyway?

    Interior water leak?

    Got it back to the dealer today. The tech was confused since he had already done the 'technical bulletin' work and he said the sunroof only drains down the A-Pilar and the rear of the vehicle. I requested to stay so I could see what they find. They weren't sure when the work would start but...

    Rear cargo trunk pic needed

    Correct, it does fold one more time. However the second fold stops in the 'up position'. I haven't had any problems yet, but as you can see I'm hardly using it yet.
