I’m trying to figure out if you’re being an a$$ or just trying to be funny? Getting a video of the condition is about the only way you are going to show what’s happening to the service rep. It is random and cannot be duplicated on demand. Every time it happens I try to Record it with date and time stamp so I can work with the service writer for a solution.
Haha, sorry for the confusion...I was totally going for humor. When this happens to me I just hit the preset button to correct the issue without remembering to take a video or don't have my phone available. I have been trying to get a video since it first happened as it's a condition that's impossible to replicate on command and my dealer just keeps telling me to bring them something showing the problem.
All is good, Happy Thanksgiving!
I got one too...Ford didn't care. They said "You have plenty of warranty...if it stops working all together we can work with you on fixing it." SOOOO COMFORTING to hear this when you paid 70,000+ for a vehicle...
A quick way to make it stop is to push the button that folds the mirrors in, it’s right next to where you adjust the mirrors. It takes all of half a second: if the mirror begins to pop push that button and then push it again as soon as the mirror starts to fold in. It’s stopped it every time for me. Of course the car knows when you have clients to embarrass you in front of just as it knows when you take it to the mechanic it begins to quit making that funny sound or whatever you’re taking it in for.
The last 3 threads I’ve seen have you as the most recent comment with a complaint, man I feel bad for you. You may have a potential lemon. So far I’ve seen a transmission shift issue, mirror freakout, seat Lester issue... totally sucks! Your dealership service department sounds awful.
It’s hard to say if the Navigator has less issues or if there are just so many more Expys on the road compared to the Navigator. That being said the service with Lincoln is, in my experience, worlds better than I’ve seen reported here. I’ve had the mirror pop some and the heat shield by the spare tire rattles if I slam the right rear door or drop heave stuff in the back... I consider neither a big deal.
I’m sure they can work on the Ford but seeing as it’s a step up in service that wasn’t paid for in the cost of the car versus a Lincoln stepping down in service going to Ford I’m go out on a limb say no.
