    A New Sync Issue

    I've never owned a vehicle with so many gremlins that come and go, [emoji23]. I'm not sure they are electrical issues but are software bugs that Ford fixes then breaks in these updates. Maybe they hired some old Microsoft engineers. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

    Ford Performance skid plate kit

    Well, called Ford Accessories yesterday for the bi-weekly follow-up. Seems the order was cancelled last week and my Ford points and credit card charge was reversed. Not a peep from anyone at Ford, not even an email, that the order was cancelled. They told me to order it from the dealer...

    REAR BOLT FRACTURES: Numbers/Percentages/Facts

    Cool info. When it happened to mine (bushing broke), Ford replaced the entire rear subframe. Told dealer not to replace the bushing only. And the wanted the rear subframe back for analysis. That was a much higher cost repair. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

    Disappearing coolant?

    Not sure of your mileage, but ever Ecoboost I've owned used coolant (1.0, 3.5, 2.7). I keep some in the garage and top them off twice per year. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

    Ford Performance skid plate kit

    I just called Ford again.... My order was placed on 10/30, fulfilled, and then lost. Like others have said, they apologized and said to call back in a week if I don't hear anything from them. They tell me my credit card wouldn't have been charged, and the status wouldn't have updated to...

    Transmission Whine

    Mine only whines on WOT in sport mode 'sometimes'. A friend says it sounds like a supercharger, ha. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

    Ford Police Interceptor Protects Officers After Being Hit In Accident (everyone's okay)

    Yep, the last gen was based on the Taurus. Back in 2009, there were several articles about the Taurus being purpose built to withstand impacts for safety (recall the Crown Vic rear impacts on interstates, thus big trunk). Gotta think the newest gen Explorer would be better. I've not seen any...

    Window close issues

    This stopped working for me... Took to the dealer who said they had to "update the modules". [emoji19][emoji6] Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

    Forscan Issue with Driver Window

    Took mine in last week as this has been a common problem for me. Dealer told me Ford issued software update for this controller... We will see, but so far so good. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

    Infotainment wont stay in dark mode

    I really really like my ST. However, for my 2021, my pains are the front windows that keep losing their programming for auto up/down, the sunroof rattle at 40F temps, and the rear subframe/diff issue. These are enough to question my continued ownership. Maybe these are addressed in the 2024...

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    The dealer took the software recall off mine a few months ago. Said folks were complaining about the emergency brake and related issues, and that Ford was working on it. Meanwhile, the rear bolt bushing has failed yet again...(click/clank between drive/reverse with brakes applied) Yes, I will...
