  1. It normally will show current mileage at the end of a drive (I don't have it open on my phone as I drive). The mileage is there but it is showing the odometer as of 1/19, which is the last date it updated. I've never had even the slightest issue before.
  2. Wierd thing tonight, I was leaving church and I used the remote start on the app and it said it failed to start, but when I walked out the car was running. It also says it is connected to the car when I'm driving, but it's not registering the odometer or anything. Sounds like you guys aren't having any issues though, so it's just me and my car.
  3. My Lincoln Way app has stopped working. Last time it communicated with the car is 1/19. Anyone else having issues? My car is a 2018 and I'm told that uses the 4G modem.
  4. Well, I got sidetracked on ordering tires due to illness, but today I placed my order for a set of Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 all-weather tires. I ended up going with these because I felt they might have an edge in dry road performance over the Nokians and they saved me $120. And they promise excellent winter performance as well. They will go on Saturday morning. And, as with all purchases at Discount Tire, if I'm not satisfied they will exchange them. Good thing, too, because the stock Michelin tires are virtually undriveable right now. Even the slightest amount of slush and you lose all steering and braking. They are down right dangerous, as bad as (or maybe even worse than) the summer only tires that were on our BMW. I honestly can't believe these tires are sold by Michelin and put on as standard equipment by Lincoln. 46 years of driving and over 60 cars and I think these are very likely the worst tires I've experienced.... at least since the 70's.
  5. Very cool video, thanks for sharing. I liked the Callahan Auto Parts shirt, too. Good to see the engine held up so good through 170k miles, other than the leaking water pump (relatively easy fix), sure looked like it could have gone many, many more miles.
  6. Thanks for the update. I haven't gotten around to buying tires yet so still taking in all the info I can.
  7. Welcome to the forum. Seems your questions have been answered. Post pictures when you can, that's very low mileage for 2012.
  8. Yes, the decision to abandon the car segment of the market is disappointing but I think it will come back to bite Ford in the arse. Time will tell.
  9. I think you'll find the same thing with all premium car brands. It's frustrating but seems to be the way of the world these days. Other than the loss of function of my Lincoln Way app, I probably won't even notice when they discontinue 4G support in the future.
  10. Not sure what components you installed, but in the old days when this happened we had to install a filter in the power circuit. Maybe reach out to where you bought the components and see if they can help.
  11. Nice. We won't have any cars shows around here until May. :(
  12. I don't get any notifications for remote starts. Weird. Your app seems to work differently than mine.
  13. Interesting. Mine was shutting off in like 4 minutes but now I think it is going 10 or longer, but I don't see a duration message on my screen like you are showing. I use it all the time, too.
  14. Yep, I agree with that, too. We have to work with the info we have. But I once bought a set of General tires that I was very pleased with, so I had my daughter put them on her car and they did not work nearly as well in her application. Sorry, though, if I wasn't clear that I do agree with your point as well.
  15. Yes, I agree how a tire performs in one application isn't always a good indicator for how it will perform in another. The Kinergy is a similar design to the Cross Climate, so good to hear they are working well for you.
  16. Strangely, the Cross Climate 2 is not coming up in my search on Discount Tire's site (I buy all my tires through Discount Tire). Didn't come up on Tire Rack's site either. DT will, of course, order any Tire I want, but pricing isn't immediately available to me. But from what I've read on line this seems like a good option. Thanks for your feedback.
  17. Thanks for the reply. Don't really need the tire decision guide, I'm already past that point and trying to narrow my choices down. I have read lots of reviews of the Nokians and Hankooks on line but not a one is on an MKZ or even a Fusion. But for the Nokian every review is very good, better than the Hankook it turns out. I was just trying to find someone who actually has experience with them on an MKZ. Based on what I've read, I'll probably go with the Nokian. I really liked the Falken Ziex on my last MKZ, excellent steering feel and handling, they worked great everywhere except when roads were icy, then not so much. If they would have been better on icy roads I'd buy another set. As for winter tires....I already have winter & summer tires for our BMW and I love them but don't have room to store another set of tires. We live in a condo and have limited storage space. In a perfect world, I'd have the two sets for the MKZ and all seasons on the Bimmer since we only put about 1200 to 1500 miles on the Bimmer during winter.....but put more than that on the MKZ in any given month. But the Bimmer came with brand new summer rubber so that's how we got where we are.
  18. Hi Guys, I still have the original Michelin tires on my 2018 MKZ AWD and they are at 6/32 tread depth in front and 7/32 in back. But, these are horrible tires in the rain and downright scary in the snow/ice/slush we see here in Minnesota for half the year. Dedicated snow tires are not a desirable option for me. I'm looking at two tire options, wondering if anyone who drives in winter condition has experience with either: 1) Nokian WR G4 2) Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 Both are "all weather" tires. Anyone have experience with these in winter weather? Thanks.
  19. Yes, I really like the Lincoln Way app. I use it frequently, especially the remote start feature. But it shows me tire pressures, oil life, CEL alerts, odometer, fuel level, etc. Pretty cool.
  20. Wishing you all a blessed and Merry Christmas!
