Default Further bubbling

A quick update on the problem. I am yet to contact another dealer about the problem....usual busy period over Christmas.
With the recent hot weather in Sydney the bubbling on the 3 buttons has increased and now the Demister button has almost completely lost its silver surface. I will contact the dealer after Australia Day.

Ford obviously skipped Oz for the hot weather testing! What some car manufacturers may not realise is it's not just the heat, but also the intensity of the sun, which of course is stronger in our part of the world.

Not sure if we're still adding new issues to this thread, but...

Have noticed on several occasions now, listening to the radio (Nova 91.9 in Adelaide) the Convers+ display in the instruments shows 99.1MHz, then after the screen displays something different, it will flick back to 91.9. The same station is playing the whole time.

Another thing, with the keyless entry on the Titanium, I will pull the door handle and it will unlock but the door will catch on the safety catch, requiring another pull of the handle to open. I have now resorted to a slight pull to unlock, then another one to actually open the door.

Either of these happened to anyone else? Oh and no 'pull' jokes will be tolerated! ;)

Thanks.

My next project is to disassemble the cabin light & try to relocate the buzzer near to the light & clear of the sound deadening material. I let you know of the outcome.

Hi Guys, I did not have time to check if someone else has got the reversing beeper fixed yet, but I got mine fixed on Monday 15/02/10. After 3 visits to the dealer, they located a wiring issue. The beeper is significantly louder. Also had my 15,000k service - $ 285. My average k/l for 15,000 is 8.5. I am very happy with everything.

Haven't noticed this on mine (yet), but I don't like the idea of having to replace bubbly buttons every couple of years. I know its only cosmetic but I couldn't stand that.

My auto up on the driver's window has also stopped working.

I think you can re-set this yourself by holding the button up for a couple of seconds. This happened to me after my battery died, but mine was in not going down, so I just pressed it down for a while.

If this doesnt' work, there's bound to be a how to on the internet somewhere for this.

HI there with your trans issue although i havent noticed it in mine but is new and i am still running the engine in.
Most new cars will hold gears a little longer this is to warm the engine up quicker very normal. harsh gear changes shouldn't happen though, but there is a difference from a harsh(clunk) to a very positive shift. hope this helps if u need any more help just ask i work on alot of late model euro cars.
