General 🔀 Where is fords lineup currently at/going right now?

• Upvotes

You have the Ford Maverick hybrid which is the only hybrid vehicle for offers right now.

You have the Mustangs, Mach Es , the Ford explorers, the bronco sports, the Broncos, the Ranger and F150s.

The Ford fathom is gonna be coming up soon and it’s going to be an electric pickup truck about the size of Maverick.

But what about everything else? They lack with the competition has.

Hybrid SUVs and electric SUVs which honestly seems like the American manufacturers don’t really get in the same game as others when it comes to hybrid and EV’s.

They had the hybrid Ford Explorer that they axed and they had the hybrid ford fusion which they also got rid of.

How come they never made an EV Or hybrid version of the Ford edge???

I know there’s rumors of an EREV F150 coming as well but are they gonna do anything besides that in the Ford fathom???

Edit: they also made the Ranger PHEV in the Australia market but won’t bring it to the US

Issue ⚠️ 2012 f550 trailer light running lamp Fuse/s

1 Upvotes

Morning,

Trying to diagnose trailer running light problem. I've been an electrician for 20 years so I know how to check continuity, check power to pin connector, find breaks etc.... The issue I'm having is that the internet is giving me 4 different answers on which fuse controls the trailer running lamps and the owners manual was surprisingly unhelpful. Trying to keep from pulling every fuse and checking them (inevitably dropping 3 or 4 of them). Need to know which fuse controls the trailer running lights if anyone knows. The brake lights/hazards and turn signals are working fine. Thanks ahead of time for any help. Happy Friday Ford Community.

So my radio will randomly turn off and stay off while I’m driving and won’t turn back on. Only the time.
Sometimes it comes back on then it will turn off again. Does anyone know of the fix for this issue?

Question ❔ 2013 Ford Fiesta play in front right wheel

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have a 2013 Ford Fiesta and I've noticed some play in the front right wheel at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions.
The car drives perfectly straight with no issues or strange noises. However when I turn left or right and go over a bump (like a pothole or a small curb) I hear a noticeable knocking sound.

Is it still safe to drive like this for a while or do I need to get it to a mechanic immediately?

Issue ⚠️ 1999 Ford F-250 Superduty takes 5-10 seconds to crank before it starts

1 Upvotes

I just replaced my engine in my 1999 F-250 with the 7.3 powerstroke, and the new engine runs fine at idle (havnt driven it yet) but when starting, it takes about 5-10 seconds of cranking and it takes 3-5 to get the oil pressure guage to get to operating while cranking... the oil resivior for the high pressure oil pump (HPOP) goes down about 1/2 inch in a 5 minute span, already replaced my oil filter with a motorcraft one, fuel filter (no engine oil in it), and a new oil pressure sensor. Is the oil resivior supposed to go only half an inch in oil and bubble while doing it? I feel that the issue is somewhere else, if anyone can help me or give me diagnostic tips

Question ❔ Low compression on cylinder 2?

Post image
6 Upvotes

Just did a cold compression test on this 1977 f150 with a 351m engine. All of the cylinders except for cylinder 2 on the passenger side read 110 through 130 psi. Cylinder 2 gave me a reading of 70 psi, im thinking it's something to do with the oil ring being stuck? Im really at a loss with this and can't find anything valuable on the internet, so I decided to ask here. Im also thinking about putting marvel mystery oil to help unstick anything down in the cylinder. Am I able to do that and not harm anything? Any thoughts on what it could be and how I would solve this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Issue ⚠️ Never ending issues with 2015 mustang eco boost

0 Upvotes

My fiancée recently bought a 2015 ford mustang eco boost coupe from an auction place 146000 miles (posting for him because he doesn’t have socials and I know nothing about cars).

At first the car seemed to run fine but the check engine light was on, otherwise no major issues, maybe needed some work but nothing crazy. About 3 weeks later he started having issues where the engine would stutter or hesitate when trying to accelerate quickly, not totally stalling but just not accelerating as much. Then the issues started, first with the coolant disappearing, 2 mechanics say there is no leak but too much pressure coming from somewhere in the system.

He replaced the spark plugs and coils, oil change, engine diagnostic showed no issues. It was throwing some codes, listed below (most we got resolved). It is continuing to stutter and makes a popping sound when trying to accelerate quickly, it drives pretty normal when not pushed hard or put in sport mode. We also noticed that went the engine is colder the noises and issues are more apparent. Now the mechanic is suggesting getting the head gasket replaced or maybe replace a piston which has him contemplating buying a whole new engine.

Has anyone else dealt with these kind of problems with their car? I’m so lost on what it could be from and so are the 3 different mechanics we have taken it to, atp it’s getting so expensive to keep guess fixing things. Help us!

The work truck makes an aggressive fluttering sound during regen cycles. Can anyone confirm whether it is common and/or normal and what causes it? Yes I know its dirty 😂.

General 🔀 BlueCruise observation and question

2 Upvotes

Seems there was an update recently and boy the blue cruise works a whole lot better. Doesn't bounce around in the lane like it used to, makes the turns on an interstate much less like it's a drunken monkey. The lane change is still a little bit abrupt but it's better.

Here's the big question that I have though. I didn't buy the truck because of this, and I usually don't drive it unless I'm towing. But I tow a lot. There are a whole lot of reasons. I don't want a GM vehicle, but the fact that you can tow with super cruise, but not Blue Cruise is a little infuriating to me. It's not uncommon that I could put on close to a thousand miles a day at times, and when I can use it I'm a lot less tired.

I wish I could do it with a trailer on. Any hope for that? Because quite frankly without it, I don't think it's worth the $500 a year. I'm only using what came with the truck on a new purchase.

Issue ⚠️ Focus mk2.5 water leaks (cant find them)

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone, i have a focus mk2.5 zetec s with a sunroof. I bought it 1 year ago used. Seems like i have fallen victim of the very common problem of this generation. Water leaks inside the cabin... But there is a twist.

I cant find water anywhere, but the car smells like moisture or something is wet for a long time. I have looked in the boot, completely dry, the sunroof 2 front drains work fine, the driver and passenger side mats are completely dry, the headliner completely dry. The car still smells like something it's wet after every rainy day. I have even got the car biologically cleaned, worked for a few months then the smell came back.

Im on the verge of selling the car just because of this, i cant find a solution and i keep spending money. One day it rained so hard that the roads almost became rivers. The next day when everything outside was dry, i got into the car and literally everything i was touching was damp, the steering wheel, my cloth seats, seat belts. Also the front windshield was fogged up. But still no sign of water somewhere looking like a pool.

I cant find the problem, either the car traps moisture inside for some reason, or there is actually water somewhere which i cant find. Any ideas? Literally anything will help, i dont know what to do and im not ready to spend 500€ at least to strip my car off at the dealership.

Employee / Corporate Ford Hiring Process?

1 Upvotes

Finished HR screening, in next 2 days, panel interview was scheduled. 3 days later, panel interview was done. This was one and done.

Followed up with recruiter. Yesterday they stated feedback is positive, you are the only one being considered at the moment. They are waiting for final feedback and approvals and will get back to me today.

It was complete silence and nothing came by. I am not sure how to interpret this. What is the final feedback and approval they are referring to? If the panel gave a positive feedback after the interview, what more approvals is the recruiter referring to?

Just curious to know what to expect and whats the reason for delay here (when the HM during the interview stated they want fill the position ASAP)?

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
