    Brake lights won't turn off.

    2011 SHO Got home from night shift. Snowplow had gone by and piled snow in front of driveway. Was giving it the ol back and forth treatment (backing in). After a few back and forths, when I rocked back forward it got a bit hung up. So I increased throttle to keep it moving. Now this routine...

    Cv shaft

    I tried searching and, surprisingly, didn't find anything. Anyway, my 2011 non PP has the front driver's side cv joint going out. The dealership wanted almost $500 to do it, so I decided to do it myself. I figure it should be just like a FWD cv shaft, but not positive. Going to order the part...

    PTU oil capacity

    Planning to change oil in my ptu soon. Fill until overflowing? Or is there a specific capacity? Also, has anyone drilled and tapped the bottom of '10-'12 ptu for drain plug? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    A/C compressor

    So the other day was the first time it's been warm enough to test a/c since I bought the car. I turn it on and..... Nothing. Ambient temp coming through vents. Pop the hood and see that the compressor is not spinning. Anybody know of a common problem with the compressor/clutch not engaging...

    Oil change

    Time for my first oil change. Now, before I get attacked for beating a dead horse, I have searched and read through about 10 threads without finding what I'm looking for. All they have is members arguing about oil weight and warranty coverage. I need to know the oil capacity of my car (11 non...

    Roof strips

    So I noticed this whole getting gas the other day. Plastic strips running along the roof are all discolored, looks like they might be starting to dry rot. Anyone ever remove/replace these? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Buzz/whine when open door

    When I open my driver door to get in the car (2011 non PP) it makes a buzzing sound, like an electric motor running. It actually sounds a lot like the fuel pump coming on in my 98 Chevy 1500. Anybody else experience/notice this? Maybe it is the fuel pump building pressure to start since, with...

    No key detected

    I've had this happen a few times. I'll get in the car when it's really cold (<15f or so) and it says no key detected. But I put it in gear and the message goes away and it lets me drive. Do you think this is just from the fob being cold, the battery in the fob starting to die or a combination...

    Steering wheel

    So I've got an 11 and tbh I don't like the steering wheel. The spoke at about 4 or 5 o'clock is right where I want to put my hand for relaxed driving, and its wide enough it makes my knuckles sore after a while with my fingers either side of it. From what I've seen the 13+ steering wheel looks...

    Nannies

    So I did some searching on here and anything on this topic is kind of old. I'd really like to be able to turn off all the nannies. Traction and stability control and advance trac. I have an 11 non pp. Is there a way to do this? I did find a thread where Jamie from livernois was saying they...

    Remove front driveshaft

    Was asking a buddy of mine here in northern Michigan if he knew of an awd dyno closer than Detroit. (He has a Chrysler 300 awd 5.7 with 500+HP) he said Detroit is the closest. But he said he has taken the front driveshaft off his car to dyno it in rwd. Is this something we can do, or will it...

    Fed up with Ford

    Bought an 11 SHO on Dec. 9th. Check engine light came on Dec. 10th. Dropped off at local Ford garage on Dec. 14th. They said it should be a couple days to get parts and a couple days to do the work (cam phaser). Hadn't heard from them by Dec. 18th so I called. Ford had moved the shipping fat for...

    Lug pattern and wheel size

    Found a good deal (too good?) On some interceptor wheels. They are specified as 5x4.5" lug pattern. Is this correct? Also, tire rack's website is telling me 17" wheels will fit. True? I have an '11 non pp. Looking to do a winter wheel/tire setup. And 17 or 18" snow tires will be MUCH cheaper...

    ? For livernois/anyone who knows.

    I have an 11 non pp and will be buying a 91 octane tune, 3 bar and t-stat soon. Have been running regular 87 octane since I got the car. So. Should I fill up with 91, run it down, fill up with 91 again just to remove all 87. Or, say I have 1/8 tank of 87, can I just fill the remaining 7/8 with...

    Mobsteel/Tommy Design 2010-2012mesh grille

    I just recently got an '11 SHO and don't really like the base Taurus style grill. Looking around the internet it seems that the only decent mesh grills are the mobsteel/tommy designs. But there don't seem to be any. Anywhere. And it seems a fair number of people are looking for them. So. Let's...

    Blind spot system fault

    I've got an 11 sho non pp Every time I drive, after about 5min it pops up on the display "blind spot system fault" and the light on the driver's side mirror comes on. At first I thought "well, I'll never really trust it anyway, so I'll just turn it off". Which worked, fault message went away...
