I find FordPass confusing. When we bought our 2021 ST we started our account with FordPass and could see both our vehicles on there, the 2021 Explorer ST and 2015 F250. While the App has more functions available for the ST due to its overall connectivity....start/stop, lock/unlock, view tire...

Passenger side outer seat panel replaced once under warranty so far. Same replaced panel also broke, just haven't said anything to dealer yet.

I just don't understand the logic behind having the e-brake reprogramed to come on all the time when park is selected. Ford concerned about a roll away vehicle if the axle bolts breaks. Won't one notice there's an issue right away. Wouldn't one use the parking brake on their own at this time...

Part re-engineered? What part was that? Do you have the part number?

In that case it sounds like Ford has an assembly line issue imo. When I tried calling Ford Customer Service about it, they couldn’t of cared less. I wonder if Ford gives a damn about this issue. They would if it had been 2 warranty claims for blown engines due to coolant starvation.

Did they document it with pictures? Curious if it actually was the “same” thing being an improperly tensioned clamp and to what connection? Mine was to the oil cooler.

Happens twice?? You had a hose come off because of an improperly set hose clamp twice now? What hoses came off.

Happy Canada Day Mobius87 you’re parked up the street from my parents. Had to leave the ST at home, too much to bring, took the truck.

Thanks for the link, an interesting read. Most people will want to take a simple and cheap approach to sound "improvement". And if they follow the link and read it, they will see that: "Attempting to reduce road noise by only doing a few areas (like just the doors) is usually a waste of time...

If Explorer ST owners in the United States and Canada worked towards creating a unified voice (if possible) expressing our discontent as a whole to Ford with respect to the performance model of the Explorer, the ST. It is being manufactured with an inferior rear subframe, when a superior rear...

Will changing your rear subframe from the one bolt that was installed on the vehicle to the two bolt rear subframe that wasn't going to affect the vehicle's overall warranty? For installing a part that wasn't on the vehicle at build with another part substituted?

Can repaint either bar any color you want. I purchased the Steeda strut tower brace & rear stabilizer bars last summer and had both powder coated red, like the brake calipers. The design of the AFE strut tower brace looks good. I doubt either is better than the other ultimately. Go with...

I don't understand why Ford is putting the rear 2 bolt subframe assembly in their Lincoln Aviator while the ST gets the single bolt subframe? I've driven the Aviator recently, it is of no comparison to the ST in terms of performance. Why won't Ford beef up the performance model to handle hard...

Those with failures, what's the build date of their ST? Curious if they failures occur in a short production run.

Purchased winter tires & rims. Nokian R3's and Fast FC04 in 20". Wheels have been ceramic coated, just waiting for temps to drop and snow to come to put on the ST.
