The transmission issue? Could be a glitch in the system. The rotary dial has no direct connection to the tranny. It's right beside the cupholders though so very prone to spillage. The complaint also came from another dealer group. Ford's dealers vary widely between owners. The first dealer we went to nagtutulakan pa mga ahente kung sino na daw ang next. The dealer we got our unit from pagpasok pa lang may agent na agad offering drinks.

Natawa lang ako that the engine is based on the Mitsubishi 4g15 that powered the Singkits and Itlogs. I had a 4g92 Itlog so medyo may connect pa din.

Aircon issues. Got the car late 2017. Replaced evaporator and expansion valve 2021. Replaced expansion valve again 2024.

My brother-in-law also had to replace the compressor and evaporator of his 2016 Forester in less than 5 years of ownership. Sadly he did not have time to have it done outside the casa so the bill reached 6 figures in total.

True. I had a cruise control issue where it would blink and stop responding after around an hour in traffic. I brought it to MI on a hot summer day and the SA said it could have been caused by slippery wet conditions while staring at the blinking symbols on the dash.
