Re: Vibrations @55-80mph

Have had the same thing here in the U.S. with my T5 Inscription Service managers does not dispute and calls it body resonance which I feel is likely the result of the production on the new frame.

Chirp from I-phone when charging via USB

Anyone notice a chirp every 10-20 minutes from charging the iPhone from the USB port???

Have had my T5 Inscription for nearly 5-months and it just started a few weeks ago.

Perhaps a faulty USP port in the car, or yet another crazy apple update?

Re: New from Sarasota, Fl

T5 Inscription from New Jersey 1200 miles, some minor fault messages, but no major problems, with the exception of the loose steering at lower speeds, which has been well documented in many reviews...

Re: New Update for XC 40

Looks like I spoke to soon!

"Service or Repair needed" on the top of Sensus is back!

No messages, as of now, dealer thinks car wants me to message dealer for service?

Re: New Update for XC 40

It is and its been 1-week, and so far, fingers crossed, no more warnings! So, the only "gripe" I have is the losseness of the steering, at lower speeds...When they did the update last week, I asked the shop foreman about the steering and he said, it is what it is... Hopefully, they will fi...

Re: Ride Quality - R Design Pro on 20" Wheels

I have a T5 Inscription, and insisted on the 18" wheels, and can truly tell you the ride is really smooth! Dealer inflated to 44 psi, placard stated 33 and I adjusted to 34 psi, reset the TPM and its really nice and smooth. Bottom line you are correct with respect to a slightly firmer ride, but...

Re: Hard Choices, T5 or T4 with “extras” ?

In the US most popular are R and Inscription, T 5 AWD

I have an Inscription with all packages available which ran 45k USD before taxes and title etc

Have yet to use the ACC or Pilot but love the 360 camera

Biggest disappointment is the loose steering noted in many reviews
