THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A DAILY DRIVER AND VERY DEPENDABLE. I PURCHASED A NEW F-150 3 MONTHS AGO AND CAN'T STAND TO SEE IT SIT. I START IT ABOUT EVERY OTHER WEEK AND RUN IT FOR ABOUT A HALF HOUR JUST TO KEEP THE ENGINE LUBED UP. IT NEEDS TIRES IMMEDIATELY, AND THE LAST TIME I STARTED IT, I NOTICED THE WATER PUMP HAS A LEAK, SO IT WILL NEED REPLACED SOON, PROBABLY FROM SITTING AND GASKETS DRYING OUT. I AM SETTING THE RESERVE PRICE WITH TIRES AND WATER PUMP IN MIND. IF I REPLACE THEM BEFORE THE END OF THE AUCTION I WILL RAISE RESERVE. THE REASON I BOUGHT THE F-150 WAS BECAUSE I BOUGHT A LARGE BOAT ON EBAY AND I REFUSE TO ABUSE THE EXPLORER BY PULLING IT. BUT NOW THAT I HAVE THE NEW TRUCK THE EXPLORER IS JUST SITTING BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR IT. A CLEAN CAR FOR ITS AGE AND HAS ALL THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE AT THE TIME, INCLUDING REAR AC. MOST OF THE TIME THAT I OWNED IT SINCE 2004, THE REAR SEATS WERE FOLDED DOWN, SO THEY SHOW NO WEAR. THE FRONT IS IN REALLY GOOD SHAPE AND THE CARGO AREA IS AS WELL. SOME IDIOT HIT AND RUN THE DRIVERS DOOR AT MY WORK PLACE, AND AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICS, THAT DAMAGE IS SO MINIMAL THAT YOU CAN GET BY WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING FOR A WHILE. I PUT A COAT OF PRIMER AND A COAT OF SPRAY PAINT ON IT TO KEEP IT FROM RUSTING UNTIL I HAD TIME TO DEAL WITH IT... OBVIOUSLY I NEVER GOT THE TIME TO DEAL WITH IT. THE GADGETS ALL WORK, BUT THE LEATHERETTE COVER OVER THE SWITCHES (ON THE STEERING WHEEL) HAS CRACKED AND SOME PIECES HAVE COME OUT (ALSO VISIBLE IN PICS), BUT THE SWITCHES STILL OPERATE PROPERLY. PLEASE EMAIL IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR WANT AN APPT TO DRIVE OR LOOK AT HER. GREAT CAR, BUT NEEDS SOMEONE THAT WILL DRIVE HER.

Ford announces fix for 2021 Expedition and Lincoln Navigator fires
Sat, Jul 9 2022In the middle of May, Ford announced a recall of around 39,000 Ford Expeditions and Lincoln Navigators from the 2021 model year due to fires starting under the hoods of the SUVs. At the time, Ford had received 16 incident reports, 14 of them happening with rental vehicles. The automaker cautioned owners to park their vehicles outside and away from structures while engineers figured out what was happening and how to fix the problem. Since that May announcement, five more fires have been reported, four of them rental vehicles, and there's been one burn injury. The company announced it understands the problem and has a fix, at the same time widening the scope of potentially affected vehicles. Instead of recalling 39,013 units built between December 1, 2020, and April 30, 2021, the recall now includes 66,221 vehicles assembled from July 27, 2020, to Aug. 31, 2021. The suspected culprit is a circuit board provided by a supplier that changed manufacturing location during the pandemic. Ford's press release on the matter stated that "circuit boards produced at this facility are uniquely susceptible to a high-current short." The affected vehicles are fitted with either an 800-watt or 700-watt cooling fan system. About a third of the recalled population are fitted with the former, and should get a quick fix at the dealer. On these SUVs, techs will inspect the battery junction box. If they find evidence of melting, they'll replace the whole box. If not, they'll simply remove the engine fan ground wire that runs to the battery junction box; since this ground relay is redundant, the change doesn't alter operation of the fans. Owners with the 700-watt system might need to wait until September for a fix. These vehicles need an auxiliary relay box with a wire jumper, but the parts aren't available now.  Ford's notifying all owners via the FordPass app, and will follow up with owners of the 700-watt cooling system once the parts are in stock. Until their vehicles are fixed, Ford says the SUVs are safe to drive but that they should still be parked outside and away from structures. The somewhat mixed messaging — 'Yes, your cars are safe to drive, but they could catch fire so don't park them near anything flammable' — encouraged a group of owners to file suit against Ford. Owners with questions can contact Ford customer service at 866-436-7332 and reference recall No. 22S36.
Google's new Android Autos OS unveiled, will be in cars this year [w/video]
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Connected cars are coming en-masse. We know this much. How, though, remains something of an open question, especially as two of the world's largest tech companies are preparing to battle for control of your car's dashboard. On the one hand, we have Apple and its CarPlay system. And now, we know what Google has been working on with Auto Link.
Its new name is Android Auto, and yes, it's based off the Android architecture that is the primary challenger to Apple's iOS mobile operating system. Announced at Google's I/O conference today, Android Auto functions similarly to CarPlay - owners will need to plug their smartphones into their cars to access the full breadth of capability.
In Android Auto's case, that means a wealth of voice controls to limit distracted driving. Google's marquee apps will be available when the interface arrives in production models later this year, including Google Play Music, Google Maps and voice-activated texting and text playback. Meanwhile, developers will be able to begin designing custom apps for the new system via an upcoming software development kit.
Court puts kibosh on apartheid lawsuit against Ford, Daimler
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Ford and Daimler have scored a major victory in a long-running lawsuit filed in US federal court by unnamed South African nationals. The suit alleges that both manufacturers and their subsidiaries sold their vehicles to the South African military, despite knowing that they'd be involved in violently putting down anti-apartheid protesters.
According to Reuters, South African plaintiffs filed the case under the 223-year-old Alien Torts Statute, a law which allows foreign nationals to file charges in US courts for perceived breaches of what was originally international law, but now more closely relates to violations of human rights.
And while the case - which also involves computer manufacturer IBM - has been tied up in federal courts for years, a recent case from the Supreme Court struck down a similar suit against Royal Dutch Petroleum (Shell), arguing that the ATS doesn't apply to corporations or to conduct if it occurred outside the US. In short, the law applies to individuals, but not corporations like Ford or Daimler. A US appeals court ruled that the conditions apply in this case, potentially drawing this long-running saga to a close, as the defendants will now be allowed to request that the case be dismissed in district court.
