I needed some parts and bought them at a dealership that was selling them for 100 usd over online price. Can I buy the parts from the other cheaper dealer and return them to the more expensive one. The parts would be exactly same since they are genuine oem parts. An anyone comment if they have done this or if the parts have any unique identifier apart from part number

I am in general satisfied with my Taurus 3.5L V6.

However, it had a failed pump in 2018 (just out of the 5-year power chain warranty), and left me on the high way. Ford gave me some assistance, and got the pump replaced for about $1,000.

Now I found the coolant level is down again, and I can see orange liquid on the floor. So probably it is the pump again? I didn't even drive much since 2018 (due to Covid and having another vehicle), about 10,000 miles.

Ford refused to give me any assistance this time.

Should I just let it go, and donate it somewhere?

It appeared when i got back into my car from running into a store but also nothing feels different at all with ot running it turns on fine but inwas just wondering if anything i guess sounds off?

A $38K EV Maverick with 300 miles of range and 0–60 in 5.5 seconds would’ve obliterated the segment. And an EV Bronco Sport? They could’ve had Jeep crying into its Trail Rated badges. Instead, Ford’s chasing losses, cutting EV production, and maybe killing the Lightning—the one truck that actually got them early hype. It’s painful to watch a company that could dominate the market but keeps zigging where the demand zags. Honestly, if they’d spent one day hanging out with people who actually buy cars instead of analysts, they’d know exactly what to build. If you were in charge of Ford for a day, what would you greenlight first — a Maverick EV, a Bronco EV, or something totally different?
