  1. Hi Megan, I have exactly the same problem with my 2010 Fusion Sport AWD. I believe it is same Sony stereo. I have found sometimes the HVAC systems also resets back to an initial setup when the car is turned on. (loses the settings when the car was turned off the previous time) I thought it was acting up due to temperature and humidity. Started happening when the temp was near freezing and rainy. But then we had a stretch of extreme cold here in Toronto and it would still cut-in and out sporadically. Lately it has not been as often. But temps are still above or below freezing. In terms of the volume, I find that there is a lag of upwards of a minute before it reacts to your adjusting it. The car is 4 years old (out of bumper to bumper) and the battery was replaced last winter. It's going in for an oil change this weekend and they will have a look at it.
  2. Happened to me once as well - Thule trunk organizer catching the trunk release.
  3. I found this link on an other site. You can find a 2006-09 Fusion in the Stock Cars tab if you want to make use of it as your car on your Garmin's screen. The cars are in alphabetical order. http://vehiclesforgarminnuvi.com/
  4. Actually something like this did happen. The 2nd day after putting on the winter tires/rims, while driving on the hiway, the TPMS light came on. When I went to add air to the tires, I found all were low, well below 30 psi. Probably what happened that they were all at slightly different pressures when cold. Up until that time I only drove in the city. Once on the hiway, they probably finally had time to heat up and that exaggerated the difference in pressures between tires and the light came on. After filling them up, I drove for about ten seconds and the light extinguished. That was over a week ago - hasn't come on since. So the system is working and is recognizing the second set of TPMS sensors. I doubt that there is a different system in Canadian cars. I ordered a 2nd set of TPMS sensors from California for my Honda Pilot and they work the same way - the system recognizes them with no learning required and that is a 2006 model year vehicle.
  5. Well you can call me a liar or dumb, but as I said, I do absolutely nothing on my 2010 Fusion when I swap wheels. Both sets have factory TPMS. Perhaps the factory manual is written in such a way to allow the dealers to charge for something that is not needed. My Honda dealership wanted to charge me to train the sensors when swapping wheels on my 2006 Pilot. I declined and have not encountered a problem either.
  6. You can just swap them yourself. The sensors will take care of themselves. Trust me - I've done it for 2 seasons so far with no probs. Same thing with my Honda Pilot.
  7. Welcome. I have the same wheels on my Pilot, except in gunmetal grey.
  8. Like the the others, how much?
  9. Me too. I had mine replaced on Friday. I hope Ford has now designed a better motor. I don't want to be replacing them every 1.5 years. My Hondas tended to last 4 or 5 years before going. It would be nice if the industry could make a fan motor that would last much longer.
  10. Almost ditto for me. I have no need to retrain them either way and I do not park near my other set of wheels. And I have driven 100's of km away from them with no warning light.
  11. I have OEM TPMS sensors in both sets of winter and summer wheels. The car senses them no problem when changing over.
  12. Per my signature - 2007 Four Winns Horizon 190 - will be put back in the water on May 14. (weather permitting)
  13. From your e-bay listing it looks like you don't ship to Canada.
  14. Who called the Geek Squad instead of a tow truck?
  15. I was also wondering about these wheels, but for my Pilot. So I second your enquiry.
  16. Welcome to the Sport Club!
  17. Sorry I beg to differ ---- I think the Sport AWD is the best mid-size AWD option out there. But then again, I might be prejudiced! Congrats on your car anyway! BTW I traded in 1995 Accord Wagon on the Sport a year ago.
  18. Sorry can't help there. When the dealer gave me the package they had said that the TPMS would work no problem. That satisfied me so I didn't try to find out anything more technically. I figured they wouldn't know anyway.
  19. I have not had to do anything with my free winter tire package from Ford, and this is the 2nd season that I have put them on. I have only had TPMS warning light for actual low tire pressure. I am not sure why you needed a tool.
  20. The dealer replaced my 1 year old wipers for free when I took it in for service a couple of weeks ago. The wiper bounce no longer happens. (so far)
  21. I kept it simple by taking advantage when I bought the Sport last year and got the free winter tire package from Ford Canada. I have been looking for tire package for my Pilot. I did buy Pirelli winter tires off of Kiji. Put them on my OEM wheels. Now I have time to look for summer wheels w/ TPMS.
  22. You shouldn't have to. I switch out the winter sets & summer sets. Both have TPMS sensors. Don't need to do anything extra.
  23. Not sure when mine was built, but I brought it home exactly 1 year ago today.
  24. Welcome to the Sports Club. Blue was my second choice. Nice ride!
  25. Self distruct button?
