have you guys encounter this problem before?

once i turn power off, the display lcd and speedometer remain lit up. It only switch off once i lock the car

i might be wrong but i think the display is draining the battery. my car is barely 2mths old and i have to jump start it twice already. 1st time is during installation of tinting, the car engine is off but the doors remain open during installation and when i tried to leave after installation, the engine couldn't start. 2nd time was when i left car at car porch without locking the doors, the next morning the engine couldnt start.

dont know whether is a battery problem or ignition problem

yesterday right after heavy rain i took a rest at RNR Mex highway, and then a red fofo parked beside me. I can see clearly the LCD remain on but engine is already stopped.

yesterday was my second day of driving focus, enjoying it very much, the solid feel going through bumpers, thanks to the independent control blades and also the sport tuned suspension.

However, I realise a few things:
1) there's bad jerking when jam at steep up hill (example in a shopping mall parking)
2) the smart entry delay about 0.5 seconds before it unlock the car, meaning if I approaching my car, I can't open my door immediately, I have to put my palm in the door handle, and open it slowly (not immediately, wait about 0.5 seconds)
3) There's delay in picking up, about 0.5 seconds before the power kick in, example if you wanna accelerate further when you're in speed of 60-80km/h
4) The steering a bit too light during low speed, and a bit too heavy at high speed (this maybe personal preference tongue.gif)

And today when I drive my Vios to work, I realize Vios is so much more responsive (feel lighter, in fact it is lighter, Vios kerb weight around 9XX KGs and our beloved Focus is around 13XX KG) and smoother gear changing, maybe I dare not push the Focus too much yet, (scare of the jerk, so just go smooth, be gentle on the pedal).

In resident area, Vios's steering is so light and easy to turn, the handling is not too bad either.

Overall, still loving my focus very much, after all, it's my choice!

Oh ya, one more thing, the Ford Sync, it was working fine on day one, and yesterday, don't know due to what command it received wrongly, it went to a mode call "line in" and seems like it trying to play music from my phone device, and ever since, my bluetooth phone never work, it just keep disconnect ever time I try to pair it, and even when I try to delete it and reconnect, it doesn't delete...

Should I do a master reset? Will my radio setting all gone, or it just reset the BT device?

Last few weeks really decided to buy focus but then my wife dont really like it. After that we went to test drive cerato and found out my vios handling better than cerato. Feels like not worth to trade in our 7 years old vios. In the end no focus no cerato tongue.gif
