I was just thinking the same.

I like it... why would you want it on all the time anyway? I use it to prevent the diesel stink and cars that burn a quart of oil while in front of me on the freeway... other than that why do you want it on all the time?

You're telling me! I am constantly hearing about "the vibe." This really gets me. Even if you did pay $40k for your S'crew Lariat 4x4, it's still a ****ing truck, it's gonna vibe, get over it. That's the one that really baffles me! Who gives a **** if the re-cicrulate mode on the A/C shuts off and/or on after turning off the truck. So reach your lazy *** finger over there and push the ****ing button again!

My b!tch to Ford is the seat heaters that don't stay on. I have to take my hand off my twinkie to push the heater for another 10-15 minutes. That's crap!

I hate Ford! Every time I use my wipers I can feel it in my brake pedals!

Now that one was classic.

Live in a hot and humid climate and you'll understand why we leave it on - much cooler air that way.

I spend equal time in Michigan and Tennessee...In Michigan, I don't have seat heaters, for those of us working folks, we have what's known as a COAT. In Tennessee, I'm just glad I have A/C at all...it really gets embarassing when you get pulled over because you're naked due to a lack of A/C. I don't have auto A/C (finger works fine), auto wipers (finger), auto headlights (eyes, then finger), auto traction control (foot), auto stereo volume/speed adjustment thingy (finger to max), auto mute for my cell phone (finger to min), auto navigation system (map), auto auto auto... What really gripes me, though, is not having heated and cooled cupholders...Imagine my surprise when I found out that my truck couldn't keep my Dr Pepper cold...

Bad Ford!

Does anybody remember the thread complaining about the keys? If that wasn't complaining for the sake of complaining then I don't know what is!

Because here in Texas it's very hot. It's already aproaching mid 90 degree temps and will only get hotter. It'll be 100 plus very soon. Trust me, the recirculate is a very welcome feature that gets a lot of use. I've always just left it on with all my other vehicles, I've never owned a car or truck that reset itself to off when the vehicle is shut down.
