#7421 of 7456 Re: Status of water leak issue? [cmuniz] by snorkelbobby Oct 17, 2008 (5:24 pm)
Replying to: cmuniz (Apr 16, 2008 5:23 am) the moon roof water leak ocurrs when you park the car facing uphill when it rains. The 2 rear drains go slightly uphill and that causes water to back up in the moon roof trough and overflow into the car. The drains run all the way back to the rear and route around the side air bags causing the uphill routing. There is a TSB to fix the issue and it was fixed in production in 2006 sometime. If you park facing downhill, the water drains easily down the 2 front drains.
#7422 of 7456 Watching dvds & listening to music at the same time? by nelsont Oct 20, 2008 (4:59 pm)
I'm a new owner of the 2007 Freestyle Limited. I'm waiting on delivery of my owner's manual, but I have a question now that I'm hoping some can help me with. The car has a factory installed dvd system that we love having. I'm wondering though if I have to listen to the dvd movies the kids are watching while I want to listen to music? We have the wireless headphones, and they work well, but I cannot figure out a way to listen to the radio or cd while the dvd player is showing a movie? If it's not possible, I understand...just hopeful.   Thanks so much in advance. Replies to this message: larryqw (Oct 20, 2008 7:38 pm) dgmac (Oct 21, 2008 12:01 pm)

Replying to: nelsont (Oct 20, 2008 4:59 pm) On my Taurus X with the DVD, I just hit the Rear Headphone button on the Nav screen, and then set up what media goes to Channel A and B. Channel B can only do the DVD or Aux input jacks.   With the headphones engaged, the sound only comes out of the front speakers so the rear isn't bombarded with sound it doesn't need.   To engage your system, I suggest you read your manual. If it's missing, you can get it from the Ford site. Go to the Myford section using the tab at the upper right.

Replying to: steve_ (Dec 05, 2008 8:50 am) TaurusX cancelled. We saw that coming. Ford has the Flex, which is really a bigger, enhanced TaurusX/Freestyle based on the Volvo-derived chassis, and the Edge, slightly smaller and based on the Mazda6-derived chassis. In addition, Ford wants to completely change the Explorer soon to make it a Volvo-derived chassis like the Flex/Freestyle/TaurusX. Who needs the TaurusX with all that going on?

#7427 of 7456 TaurusX - any known problems? by vrm Dec 11, 2008 (11:21 am)
Does the TaurusX have any 'known' problems? For example does it also suffer from the rear brake problem in the 2005/2006 Freestyle?   Thanks. Replies to this message: larryqw (Dec 11, 2008 10:45 pm) coldcranker (Dec 13, 2008 9:19 pm) vrm (Dec 15, 2008 12:22 pm) coldcranker (Dec 17, 2008 7:34 am)

Replying to: vrm (Dec 11, 2008 11:21 am) No problems whatsoever, other than it's not selling well. I've had my T-X for about a year now and it's still working perfect.   The rear brake issue with the Freestyle was fixed about three years ago, even before the conversion to the T-X.   Consumer Reports surveys show the Freestyle/T-X as being well above average for reliabilty in all categories.   I get even better milage than the official number - more like 25-27 MPG if I stay at 65 MPH.   It's a superb vehicle. I still can't believe what a nice crossover I got. Replies to this message: coldcranker (Dec 13, 2008 9:19 pm) vrm (Dec 15, 2008 12:22 pm) coldcranker (Dec 17, 2008 7:34 am)

Replying to: larryqw (Dec 11, 2008 10:45 pm) larrygw, I agree, the TaurusX is excellent. I sometimes think its the poster boy for a great American car that people seem to have overlooked (sales). Image problems. In reality, TaurusX performs very well in nearly every category.

Replying to: larryqw (Dec 11, 2008 10:45 pm) I am convinced that the TX is a good car! This car offers very good value and safety.   Its too bad that the TX got a bad start when it was introduced - the marketing and sales positioning suffered from the problems facing Ford.
