Just come out and say it
YOU LOVE TOYOTA'S
You should have lived in Japan!
Won't shift out of gear? The torque converters input shaft on those go out.
We own the 05 Mercury version of this (they finally dropped Nissan for this generation). Bought it around 126,000 miles. It is annoying that many underhood repairs require the cowl to come off. It's plastic on plastic so the fasteners cause wear every r &r. We had water in the computer 90,000 miles ago. Wouldn't shift into reverse so towed to the trans shop and the tranny shop did an honest, correct and thorough repair despite the tranny not being at fault. I reveiwed the service bulletin steps shortly after the repair and reapply low cure temp silicone (Through the Roof) for your house to key points of the cowl area every time the cowl comes off (always happens in winter). We're around 210,000 miles now, just did waterpump and intake gaskets in January. Saw the oil leak with water pump out. Been a decent vehicle for us overall, despite an almost annual surprise repair project (water in computer, alternator, coil pack crack, ac compressor, waterpump..) able to do most at home, so that's a financial bonus
they sell these in canada for 7 grand
I no longer consider Ford a carmaker. Nothing but problems with these vehicles- and that's not hyperbole.
Scotty, the battery light came on when you were test driving it. . . Then it went off.
There seems to be no inexpensive option available for transportation.
Your a genius Scotty! Say it how it is….stupid ford! LOL Always learning from you!
Excellent editing, fun to watch/learn, and volume/audio control. Well done
This is why i don't buy lazy ford's (don't see the ford badge on a Mustang lol)
SCOTTY, REMEMBER WHAT HENRY FORD SAID "IF IT AIN'T BROKEN DON'T FIX IT". LEAVE IT ALONE. IT'S PROBABLY NOT EVEN THE TIMING CHAIN AND NEITHER OF THOSE SENSES. I COULD DIAGNOSE THIS WITH MY EYES CLOSED. THE TENSIONER ADJUSTER IS PROBABLY STUCK IN BETWEEN WHERE IT CLICKS TO THE NEXT INCREMENT TO TIGHTEN UP THE TIMING CHAIN. THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT'S WRONG. GIVE IT A LITTLE MORE TIME AND IT'LL EVENTUALLY FALL INTO ADJUSTMENT AND THOSE CODES WILL GO AWAY ONCE YOU CLEAR THEM.
I have same problems on my 2006 Focus. New battery, new alternator, still wont charge normally. Now I know what to check and how to fix it.Thank you.
