I had the same problem with my 2014 with my reversing camera. I bought a replacement off Amazon for $138. You can enter your car's model year into the site, and it will confirm if the camera or whatever item suits your car. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KL82NVB/ I then installed the camera myself. There are instructions and videos on how to do it online. It took me about 3-4 hours, but I have two left hands, essentially.

Yeah, I find that the door handle sensors fail in below freezing temps, but they start working a day or two after temperatures climb back above freezing.

I can't speak to your specific issue (I had the larger touchscreen, not the Sync 4"), but if you want to replace your headunit I would recommend going to car-part.com, and searching for TV screen for a C-Max or Escape within the same generation as our car.

Congratulations on the Mach-E. Have you taken delivery of it? And now that Ford is gaining access to Tesla's Supercharger network, it should be road trips less of a hassle.

Yeah, I'm sure you could go 10 miles (16km) on a 1.4kWh battery. The best I've managed is just a tick over a mile in my Hybrid, and most of that was downhill and below 35mph. You might want to physically inspect the battery itself. It might have some plaque or label indicating its capacity.

Saw some forum posts about this Roadtop system on another Ford forum. I think the on-screen functionality is fine, but the sound quality from the connected Android phone or iPhone is rubbish because it's going through Roadtop system and the AV inputs.

Do you have a recording of the noise? Or can you describe it?

They're pretty rare at the moment because both the Solterra and bZ4X have been recalled twice for wheels that might fall off.

That GTI (in fact most Golfs and Polos of that age) had wonderfully sharp and precise steering. They just felt so wonderfully agile, even if there was a sluggish diesel under the hood.

No, that seems to be a fairly typical trait of Mercedes of that era. From memory the C- and E-Classes of that ilk were like that too.

I love the steering in this era of Euro-developed Fords. I wish they were a little chattier, but barely anything from any brand in this era is. They're just well weighted, heavy enough without needing build your biceps, just enough feel, and stable at highway speeds so that a slight motion off center doesn't send you careening towards the next lane.

NYer here. The Hybrid will have its best fuel economy in the spring and fall when you're not running the climate control. Mileage goes down a bit in summer because we need it to keep from sweating, goes down a lot in winter because, obviously, I don't want to turn into a Popsicle. The heater uses engine warmth to blast heat into the cabin, so the gas engine turns to stay on a lot to stay warm enough to do that. That said, even at its worst, the fuel economy is still better than you would get in an equivalent, say, Focus. Mileage won't be too bad if you're mainly do suburban driving with decent but not excessive speed. Economy is worst in the city (where I live).

Congrats (belated) on your purchase. Did you sell the SUV and Fit? And how many miles are the C-Max and Model Y doing?

You'll have to do a Sync 2 to Sync 3 swap. As Homestead mentioned youll have to watch some videos to see how to remove the dash pieces and install the equipment.

Congratulations! You've purchased a great and largely unheralded car.
