  1. Was thinking about something like that, but too intellectually lazy to do the research. Thanks for doing the heavy thinking for me, and just bought one on eBay. Will let you know how it works.
  2. There is no lock button in the back doors. Can only lock all four doors, which will unlock if the fob is in the car. Even closing the rear door or trunk last.
  3. Wish i could do this with my 2017 Fusion with external keypad. Would like to lock the fob in the car while at the beach, then use the keypad to open. However the doors refuse to lock with the fob inside, even when stored in the trunk.
  4. My butt instinct from driving the TC and Wikipedia both agree: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_PowerShift_transmission My daughter has a 2014 Focus and has the same bucking transmission. She is part of the lawsuit, and supposedly will receive a freebie replacement clutch.
  5. It bucks just like my daughters Focus PowerShift. Would be surprised if its a conventional torque converter transmission.
  6. Would be nice to add the XLT light. This can turn on the local light, turn on all lights, or prevent all lights from turning on.
  7. Just purchased a 2016 clean XLT LWB. Has the 2nd row buckets and rear liftgate which I really wanted. Neat feature is the huge moonroof with power sliding cover. But the radio has no Sync to connect a phone? Odd combination of options. Would like to swap a basic SYNC unit, or even better swap an aftermarket Android Auto head unit.
  8. Nope 2012-up has the PowerShift dual clutch transmission. I am a smart butt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_PowerShift_transmission My daughter has a 2014 Focus PowerShift and is having slipping issues. Ford plans to replace her clutch.
  9. No dipstick. I mean the TC does not have a dipstick, not a personal comment toward you. Might as well change the fluid if I'm going through the hassle of pulling the side plug.
  10. Does anyone have this carbon fiber looking film above the windshield and the front portion of their roof? Image attached. My recently acquired TC has the neat big moonroof with power sliding cover. However the film prevents you from seeing in or out. Kinda defeats the purpose of the glass, unless there is some other hidden button to open. I suspect the film is aftermarket, and there was a leak around the moonroof that the film effectively sealed.
  11. There is no Sync badge or functions like my former 2013 Escape. I push the phone button and there is no response on the screen. No menu function for Bluetooth® or to pair a phone. There is a USB port in the console, however could be broken as it won't even charge a phone. Least of my worries.
  12. Good idea of checking the fluids and resetting the computer. Your grasp of the obvious is obviously more advanced than mine. Next step is a fluid change and reflash the computer. Purchased a 4-year 50K-mile powertrain warranty so I have plenty of time to totally trash the transmission ?. Price was $9500 for a clean XLT LWB. Has the 2nd row buckets and rear liftgate which I really wanted. Neat feature is the huge moonroof with power sliding cover. But the radio has no Sync to connect a phone? Odd combination of options.
  13. Engine jumps a bit, however cannot determine if the motor mounts are bad or simply being flexed by the harsh shift. Not nearly as bad at the one on the other posting
  14. Just received a 2016 wagon with 106K miles. During the test drive the transmission worked smoothly. After a couple of days I noticed when shifting to drive and accelerating the transmission will shift/clunk hard. Then the 1/2 shift is fine. Have the option of returning the TC however I really like it. Otherwise can receive an extended powertrain warranty and hope the transmission fails and is replaced under warranty. Question: is the transmission like the Focus (problematic dual clutch) or like the Escape (torque converter)? Butt instinct says dual clutch.
