    Definitely a problem with some pumps as others have observed.

    Ford should take a page from Audi on hiring techs; http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/audi-begins-program-to-match-us-military-veterans-with-dealership-service-openings-1794614.htm The 'Veterans to Technicians Program' will create pathways for skilled former military technicians to become Audi-certified employees Demand for Audi Dealership technicians is expected to soar 112% by 2020 as the brand continues U.S. market growth The program was developed with CALIBRE Systems, Inc. to support Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs Veteran/military transition initiatives. Audi of America is launching a new program aimed at attracting skilled former military technicians to Audi certified service department roles in dealerships across the country.

    What an example of incompetence, I would post this story on the Ford Facebook page in addition to contacting Ford Corporate.

    There have been a few persons contact me on fuelly questioning my high mileage claims. The number are what they are, my wife does all the data entry and could care less about skewing any data.

    The two times I have mentioned this to the dealer they say its not reproducable. I crawled underneath to investigate and I can reproduce the noise by pusing up and down on plastic aero cover at the bottom of the engine bay. I can find no loose supports but the cover is loose so it will require a lift to reinforce the attachments.

    Yes, for one of these;

    Excellent perspective from a reluctant hybrid owners point of view.

    AC use caused a major hit to my C-Max mpg.

    I vote in the annoying column.

    I am still waiting for Tapatalk for mobile.

    Apple has always been positioned as a premium product so partnering with BMW and Land Rover makes sense.

    You need at least 3 fills before Fuelly will show other users your average and stats. It could be the app isn't properly handling this condition encountered by new Fuelly users.

    My wife drives the C-Max primary, I drive mostly urban with a 500 miles road trip every 8 weeks or so to visit family. Nice having a spare tire for those parts of Texas with a number of miles between towns.

    Since I can reproduce the problem with a large mp3 collection it looks like an array bounds problem to me. They try to loop through more items than the memory or some portion of the kernel can handle and the whole thing comes crashing down. Just speculation on my part but I did correctly guess the DC/DC converter being at the heart of dead battery issues. :)

    Right, but what I see happening on MFT/Sync is the whole kernel crash and reboot (black screen) not just the app. From what I have read on the functional specs I posted earlier one of the approved ways to access the api is with flash lite, which as you know is a scripting language. I haven't download the SDK or played with any MFT/Sync emulators but it would be interesting to see how they are doing their api calls. A stable OS should not crash no matter how bad a call you make, garbage collectors should clean up any apps causing undue resource utilization.

    They have some interesting tech in the pipeline; http://www.valentine1.com/v1info/v1connection/

    Nothing wrong with Willie. :) :)

    I have rarely seen my Unix (BSD) based OSX crash. I have seen apps lock up and you need to option/command/esc to kill the rouge thread but it doesn't require a reboot. I will say Windows 7 x64 and Windows 2008 R2 seem more stable than any Microsoft OS I have ever used. The problems I have seen with W2K8 are related to HyperV VSS issues. That brings the whole server down.

    My wife wants her Valentine1 installed but I have been waiting for some detailed photos of the process on an SEL model.

    If you really want to know what powers MFT/Sync at its core, read this. http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/A/1/0A1E07D6-7562-4566-AACF-E04DF4FF8879/A%20Technical%20Companion%20to%20Windows%20Embedded%20Automotive%207%20(final).pdf

    Automotive.com provides this overview of the process and what to expect after completion. This does not cover the 3.5.1 release specifically.

    I think google has a better approach. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwTsp5eg2iw

    Your buy habits suggest you are an engineer. :)
