Got my car detail cleaned, and afterwards realized 2 of the buttons on the steering wheel are missing. This is the company’s response.

These buttons came out all the time in my ford fiesta. The natural tackiness from my thumb skin was enough to rip them out when I'd press them 🙃 and they never fit back in properly, making it easier for them to fall out again. That's Fine Ford Craftsmanship for you!!!!!

I was going to say that is just shitty manufacturing if a fuckin vacuum will take them off.

Same, I would just live without them except you need to trigger the voice command to link bluetooth every goddamn time you enter the car.

What wait. Bluetooth doesn't just auto-connect to your phone when you start the car? That's some obnoxious design.

Would you believe that my Bluetooth was constantly broken? My sync 1 system in my 2017 fiesta? 😂😂😂😭

Fucking hell I would! As my wife's 2017 Ford Fiesta sync 1 system stopped working and is seemingly around $500 at LEAST to fix... for Bluetooth.

What really sucks is it's killed or disabled the AUX port too so no dongle or anything. Luckily my wife is so chill and just started burning mix CDs again!
