I guess this has sort of already been asked, but what is your personal opinion of the "PowerShift" dual-clutch "semi-automatic" transmissions, as found in Fiestas? As alluded to, there have been a lot of complaints. Some problems may be only apparent, due to naturally different driving feel from more usual automatics with torque converters. But it seems like the concerns extend to reliability and possibly safety too. Yes, it is new tech, and there are software updates, but people should not paying (and risking their safety) to beta-test an unfinished product, and the factory warranty lasts only so long.

Simply put: Would you feel comfortable giving one of these cars to an elderly relative? (Assuming that you don't hate your family.)

Thank you.

Any cheaper 4x4s, either SUVs or pickups, in the pipeline? All of the SUVs went soft and the Raptor, although awesome, is pricey as shit.

I'm hoping with the Colorado/Canyon selling well and FCA doing a Wrangler pickup, it'll shake up the mid-size pickup market enough for Ford to bring the Ranger back stateside. That, or offer a 4Runner/Grand Cherokee competitor to run parallel to Explorer like Toyota does with 4Runner and Highlander.

It probably is because your seat belts are linked to the pcm through the dashboard module and the head lights are also on that module. One of your bulbs must have blown. You have to replace the bulb by using the dealer only tool, buy a new dash board module, and have the module programmed to your vehicle. That will fix your seat belts and cost you about 700 dollars.

Is Ford ever going to make another sport compact that doesn't look like it came out of an alien's ass? I mean, look at this shit. It's ugly as sin and the fucking windshield is practically horizontal, which messes with my fucked-up depth perception.

>>675203540
American I6s are large and heavy? The last one was the 4.2 I6 for Trailblazer/Envoy/Bravada/Rainier/9-7x/Ascender. It had the bore:stroke ratio for trucks and needn't pay terrible attention to packaging efficiencies. I'd wager a modern I6 would be compact.

Nonetheless, with boosting becoming ubiquitous and any engine under 8 cylinders seemingly needing to be able to do double duty in both longitudinally and transverse applications, an I6 doesn't make sense for Ford.

>>675202885
I think so. If your not an idiot you can still drive it. Shit like this does have regulations yet because nobody has dies from it. Thats how all the OEMs operate. Roll it out, wait till people die, then write requirements as mandated by the govt sometimes. This way if they dont meet an initial requirement (not based on data) they cant be sued when it kills someone. the process is fucked royally.

Thanks for answering PowerShift question. I test drove a Fiesta recently and noticed no problems, but backed away after reading all of the complaints on the Web. Part of my "beef" was that Ford would put relatively untested tech in an entry-level vehicle which many would rely upon for basic transportation. Anyway, "all's well that ends well" because I ended up deciding to fix my current ride instead of replacing it (for a while longer, at least).

Tier 1 supply to you here.

Why the fuck are all of you such whiney bitches? You feel entitled because you work for a big OEM.

Hate to break it to you, working for an OEM is the bottom of the pit unless you're a project lead. They hire anyone with a general engineering degree. Your replaceable because everyone is dumb and wants to work for an OEM. And because of this , you get paid less.

Tier 1, smaller group, my work is valued more. More specialized work. Get paid way more. Less people can do my job.

>mfw Ford engineer thinks working for Ford makes them better than Tier 1 supplier

>>675196744
every time I work on any car, I wish cancer upon you guys.

I can't fucking stand automotive technicians, nor the way any of you cock sucking engineers think in terms of design.

Build something that fucking functions, you're not NASA engineers, so stop pretending to be. Especially your toothless inbred automotive technicians.

OP, my warranty on my 2013 Fusion Hybrid is expiring in May. Do you recommend an extended warranty and, if so, what level should I get?
>>
>>675209118
I'm not old, just not stupid like you.

My dad is a mechanic and following his "old rules" I've never had a problem with vehicles breaking down as quickly as you seem to. Universal rules of up-keeping your vehicle will give your car eternal life. Also you must be some kind of mechanically challenged person like my grandma to not take care of your car stupid ass.
>>
>>675208441
Dude, I've got government plates on the back - only an idiot would drive that like a maniac. In addition, getting an oil change (!) every 3,000 miles has little to nothing to do with the tranny slipping in 1st and 2nd gear BRAND FUCKING NEW.

That's why I posed the question to OP, not your retarded ass.
>>
>>675209749
OP has an ME degree. Probably thinks he knows his shit but in reality is part of the problem.

What is the absolute worst car you have to deal with made by ford?
>>
>>675208586
We had a service bulletin for our Focus' last year for the fuzzy shit that covered the back speakers, anyway while we where at the dealership I asked the Service manager about the Transmissions plauging every vehicle we've been issued and his response was "eh, it's a common issue. No big deal you can bring it in and get it tuned up but that's just how they run." These vehicles are brand new. What the fuck is going on at Ford...

F.O.R.D= Found. On. Road. Dead.
Enough said fucktwat.

V8 7.3 550. theres a knock in the engine and it isn't injector 8, it sounded like it but it isn't. dont know what it could be, but i might just transplant the engine entirely, shit's been a pain in the cunthole.
>>
The MTX75 in my '14 Focus frequently grabs from 1st to 2nd. When under hard acceleration the car bucks noticeably when 2nd is engaged. I've taken it to the dealer twice but they insist that it's behaving as intended. Is this in fact normal behavior? Thank you!
>>
>>675208586
I had a neighbor with a Fiesta, and one winter's day, as I watched, his transmission went out while he tried to back out of snow that wasn't even deep enough to touch the exhaust. Sure he's a fat fuck who's too physically lazy to shovel, but I've never seen any other trans get wrecked from such slight abuse of it, not even with really old and badly maintained cars.

Fuck this guy

Foot to floor every chance I get
>>
>>675209959
government sticker doesn't entitle you to having a lead foot. Also after about 5,000 or so if you take it in to the dealer, you should change your transmission fluid, which I doubt you did because you think these vehicles run on magic.
>>
>>675210945
Yes. A Quick google search will turn up thousands of people with the same complaints. Service technicians will tell you this is normal because it can not be fixed.
>>

In your opinion, did Ford build old muscle better than old-muscle Dodge, Chevy? If so, why?
>>
>>675211090
So edgy. Foot to floor while at work in a tax payed for Ford Focus.

Get this guy a Fedora and samurai sword.

BW engineer here, how much does it suck to get all of your variable cam components from companies outside of Ford?
>>
>>675211615
I grew up around cars and fixing them, rebuilding them. I could work as a mechanic too if I weren't in school already learning engineering. So yeah I know how to take care of my babies.
>>
>>675211251
That particular tran was outsourced to japan. Same factory the 3000/gto/stealth was produced, so go figure
>>
>>675211118
He's probably never take. It to the dealer because it's a fleet owned vehicle and they follow all the recommended maintenance policies.

You know 3k is t the recommended oil change intercal for almost anything right? My Volvo is 10k miles.
>>
>>675211118
Holy shit you're an idiot. I just said I WOULD NOT have a lead foot because it HAS a government plate. Not to mention it's a god damned Four Door compact piece of shit Ford Focus, why the fuck would I ever floor it?

If you weren't a god damned retard you'd know that a Government vehicle won't be serviced on my fucking dime - it'll be on yours. In addition, it will be done when the Goverment decides it'll be done - and changing the Tranny fluid at 5K brand new is the least retarded thing you've said, which is actually pretty astonishing.

Hopefully that problem doesn't affect Honda? I've read that their manuals are usually pretty solid. My next car is probably going to be a EX-T with a manual.

My ford edge's heater went out at 100k miles. My mechanic couldn't fix it, the tool to fix it was only available at ford dealerships.

I feel like the heater was engineered to fail. Is that true, does ford engineer parts to fail after the warranty?

You say change the transmission fluid at 5k? What, do I need to drain my fucking windshield fluid as well? Did it get a tad cloudy??

More like 50k miles, retard
