Hey everyone...
I had my car stored for 4 months and I'd like to mention one small issue I had that went away after driving for a few 100 kms and other issues after.
Before storage I had no problems except for a small clunk noise coming from the back which I came to the conclusion is a full tank of gas moving around when driving slow in parking lots with speed bumps and/or pot holes.
The car started up with no issues at all after four months of chilling indoors. Right away I noticed the breaks making funny warped sounds. After a few 100 kms breaks were totally fine like brand new.
Afterwards I noticed an issue with my hatch. It seems to get stuck on the way up and you have to wait to get it fully open, very odd I must say. You think I need to oil that up or something?
Couple weeks ago I park up at my friends apartment building and some dude reversed in to my back door. After a few quotes from body shops they said they can make it look new for $550 (the cheapest quote, others wanted $900+).
Another issue I have is when I drive around at slower speeds taking turns or going up a ramp slowly I hear what sounds like to me as the rear hatch door or rear doors or something to do with the frame making a squeeky noise. That's annoying me quite a bit. I even asked Ford about it when I got my oil change and they told me not to worry about it, just turn up the radio in my car. LOL.
Last but not least. I'm hearing this buzzing sound coming from behind the MFT. Kinda like a fan that's extra loud. Any of you guys noticed any excessive noise coming from behind the dash closer to the MFT screen?
That's it for my update for now
