How much miles do you have on your vehicle?

[JaredGBrock]

I bought mine CPO in Feb of 2013 (Build date of Feb 2012).  It had 9000 miles on it then.  I'm now sitting just below 35,000.  Have gone through all 3 recalls (just the half-shaft check, not repaired).  The only things I've had to do besides oil changes and fluids at 30k is replacing the tires at 21k, having the windshield replaced, and getting a new battery.  For the tires, the car is equipped with the PP but when I got it it had the MXV4's on it instead of the summer tires.  So I don't know 100% where those came and how much tread was left but they were getting low on depth when I replaced them.  Had the windshield replaced shortly after I got it due to there being a manufacturing defect right where the driver looks out at.  Like some little bubble and it bugged the hell out of me.  And lastly had the battery go ka-puts at 31k.  No idea why.  Car barely started going to and from work, took it to the dealer after work and they had to jump start it in the quick lane bay.  Tested it and it failed so they replaced it.  All this work for me has been done under warranty so I haven't had to pay for anything yet.  All in all, I've loved driving the car every day I've had it and wouldn't give it up for much of anything.

first off thanks for commenting it means a lot 😃. Second off my battery went about the same time yours did, around 30k or so. I had the warranty until 50k until I started paying off the car, so I had to buy the extra warranty. I've loved my car and I'm so happy I am paying to own now. 😄 thanks again

Here's what took a lot of effort at my dealer to get done but stopped the tranny problem that sounds exactly like mine. mine never threw a code even with me making it happen & tech onboard & plugged into OPD.
orginally serv writer gave me one of those may have to live with speeches, that i refused & told them & had a letter all written that car was unsafe with that happening. i was going around a corner & a guy following me really close almost rear ended me. if they give you trouble pm me & i'll send you my vin so your dealer can look up my file. 

Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) Sensor

This Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) sensor is a Hall-effect pickup that sends a signal to the PCM that indicates transaxle turbine shaft input speed. The TSS sensor provides converter turbine speed information for TCC strategy. Also used in determining static LPC pressure settings.

Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor

The Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor is a Hall-effect pickup, located on the transfer shaft drive gear, that sends a signal to the PCM to indicate transmission output speed. The OSS is used for TCC control and shift scheduling.

I have a '12 SHO w/pp that I bought in Sept 2011, has been tuned since March 12. JUST turned over to 50k, the only non-self induced issue (I hit a raccoon and did 1k damage to passenger side bumper) is replacement of tail lights due to peeling. This car has truly been trouble free, as honestly have been most of my recent Ford products since the mid 90's. That includes 2x explorers, 2x expeditions, 1x edge, 1x escape, 1x F-150, 1x SHO and 1x Explorer Sport - yeah the wife likes to buy cars. I only got the F-150 and the SHO

Bought my 10' Sho back on March this year with 51k miles.  In just about to roll over 65k. All highway miles using WOT At almost every on ramp. Only problem is once a week the car will do that neutral drop at random stop signs.  Ford refuses to do the TSB until it happens when a mechanic drives it.

Thanks Mike for commenting, I may have you do that, because some service guys like to tell you the typical," everything's fine, didn't feel a thing." I will get back to you on that and that was very nice of you to offer me the vin just in case. Never had somebody do that for me before. That's why I love the EB community. Thanks again and thanks for going in to detail just for my problems.

I think I may have had that happen to me before when it neutral drops, but I've got to say I love doing WOT on every ramps it's so fun. Thanks for commenting again 😃

Thanks for commenting! Ford cars have been good to me ever since, my Taurus has been mostly trouble free, the transmission and shocks have been my only problem, my struts went bad at about 70k miles but that's because I drive a lot of the unavoidable bad roads, I really regret not getting performance suspension since the roads have been replaced. I should've gone aftermarket suspension to try something different but the car is the best car I've ever owned, it's been super reliable, and has caused me 2 problems the whole time I've had it, glad you're enjoying your car, and I hope that continues. Thanks again 😃

65,333 for me right now.  All troubles have been electronics.  2 door handles because the sensors failed, power lumbar wires chafed somehow, power steering gear, and keyless entry pad once.  Never seen a check engine light and mechanically has been absolutely awesome.

Thanks for commenting, that's not fun, glad nothing major mechanically has happened.
