Every so often (i would say 2x a month) on start up the time on the clock displays "12:07" no matter what time it is. Nothing has been changed. It eventually reverts back to the correct time later in the day after a new start up. Any ideas? Dealer is 45 minutes away so I don't want to go...

Releiable Thanks. My 09 had 76k miles with no issues other than one rear door lock mechanism had to be replaced. I never even had to replace any headlight or tail light bulbs. Great car.

Took delivery of my new baby last week - traded in my 09 4 cylinder GT. This car is incredible. Too many people complain of a lack of a v-6 or a turbo but this baby moves. True, 0-60 is not outstanding (like the rest of the car), but I could care less. I prefer driving fast on winding roads...

My 09 used Ford brakes (calipers and pads, at least) what does the new 17 use? Thanks.

New battery worked. I had no idea that a battery testing fine could lack the needed amps. Thanks.

Hi - the spare is kept in the house. I can certainly put in a new battery but, as mentioned, the key seems to "wake up" after the car is activated with the main key or I futz with the existing battery in the spare key.

The key used ever day works fine. The spare seems to loose its ability to unlock or start the car if not used often. However once the car is opened and or started with the main key, the spare works fine. Also, if I open up the bad key and test the battery it will work fine. Battery tests at...

Vinylex for vinyl. It is a cleaned and protectant - been around for a long time. Lexol for leather - again been around for a long time and found almost anywhere.

Loaded question - it is like asking what is the best oil to use?! How much time do you want to spend? Where do you live? Color of the car? I used to baby my bars (all dark) back in the 90's and 2000's. No time now (house, kids, dog, job...........) so I go to a decent local car wash...

Anyone have one? Opinion? I like the look because it if offset to the side, but concerned of it getting bent in a parking lot.

@yrwei52 - I hope not. I don't want the knuckle daggers at the dealership messing around inside the car!

@ mazdadude - yup first time. Label up, shiny side down. As mentioned, it starts to "read" the CD but then nothing happens and no CD appearance on the display. Will try voice command tonight as suggested by tomcat1446.

Correct tomcat1446. I will try voice command this evening. Thanks.

Odd problem (3 day old car). When I insert a CD it says "reading (or something like that)" but CD does not appear on the menu so it cannot be played. Everything else seems to work fine. Any advice? Waiting foe dealer to call me back. FYI - 3 different store bought music CD's tried.

Just took delivery so I have not investigated much yet. Are any of the interior lights LED's? The domes seem to be a bright white while the visor and hatch seem to be a dull yellow. Looking at the kits from Precision LED and prices have gone down considerably. Thanks.
