I mention no names in this thread, except for Jesus.

Yeah, My grandma had feral cats that found their way into the radiator shroud. good warm place to sleep but once you turn the engine over, not so much.

I really miss the high beam foot pedal. I guess I am now considered old

It was great.

But I keep getting my foot hung up in the steering wheel.

OP, must be going across the line-up. My '11 F150 has the easy start. The Wifey's '10 Mustang doesn't.

Answer: VERY FEW...

Why would anyone beyond crazies like us care about that? That's like being mad the salesperson didn't explain the speed compensating volume deal in the stereo.

Got a link? I don't remember seeing a TSB about that before, but mine's done it probably 6-8 times with for no rhyme or reason.

I've flipped through it a time or two to look up how to do something with the sync or electronics package but that's about it.

My 99 MB had this feature.

My wife's 2012 Honda Odyssey also has the feature.
