Anyone else feel like their Tesla took out their older Ford?




Sorry for your loss, man. It was a good-looking car. I’m dealing with an airbag light issue myself… hoping it’s a quick fix.

Could be a fuse problem. Sometimes the system doesn’t know which seats have people, so it might make all airbags deploy in a crash. Worst case, it could mean the crash sensor isn’t working, which means airbags wouldn’t go off at all.

@Zuri
Yeah, I think it’s the fuse, cause it comes on and off randomly.

Had the same airbag light issue. The dealership told me it was because the battery was too weak to power it right.

How long did it take for your settlement to come in? I hit a deer with mine in late September, and still no payout. Finally got fed up and took out a loan last night. Thankfully, my bank will rework my loan if I use the settlement for a down payment.

@FordWorrior
I had my accident at the start of October and got my settlement about two weeks later. Was stressing out too, trying to find a replacement car. Fingers crossed yours comes through soon.

How did you get that interior lighting setup? Just got a 2018 Titanium and want to start adding some upgrades.

That’s probably a factory option from Ford.

Wonder what year his is… mine has some ambient lights but only in the cup holders, doors, and footwells.

@Hazel
His is likely from 2013-2016. Maybe it’s an aftermarket setup. Could be different lighting options too.

It’s aftermarket. Had it installed at a wrap/paint shop. My car came with just the footwell lights.

I’ve got the 2014 Titanium and it has the factory lights but no light strips along the door.

Pretty sure your car will show up on Copart eventually. Looked like a nice ride. I’m in NY, and yeah, some Tesla drivers here drive like it’s a racetrack. I steer clear of them too.

Same here in NY with a Fusion… the roads are a mix of first-time drivers and speed demons. It’s entertaining but also nerve-wracking.

That’s tough to lose it. That color was really nice on it.

Love that color. I’ve got a '17 hybrid, and while I like it, the gunmetal color doesn’t come close to that burgundy look.

I had issues with my AdvanceTrac system too. Ended up just needing a software update after they replaced my gauge cluster, which didn’t actually fix anything.

My 2016 Energi does the same with ABS and AdvanceTrac warnings. Backup camera also has issues, but they all disappear randomly.

Same color and model here. Just got mine back from a small insurance claim after a hit-and-run. Allstate loaned me a noisy Mitsubishi that felt like it’d explode if I stepped on it too hard. Backup camera’s also acting up now… annoying, but it’s still working.
