    6 Faults and AWD Module

    It has to be programmed. Mine keep going out. Now my explorer feels like it wants to shut off. After time i ⛽️ fill it up. While it's running. Great don't know if it's the fuel pump or something else. Almost didn't turn over on my fill up this morning

    My 2020 ST started knocking 2 days ago on morning cold start.

    The factory warranty on the powertrain for the 2020 explorer ended December 2024. Know I get to take my explorer to my buddy at Goodyear to fix now. Since I don't have extended warranty. Might be trading this 2020 in for 2025. Gotta save up a big down payment again to bring that payment down in...

    2025 Explorer Teaser Ahead of Tomorrow's Reveal

    The Platinum comes with a paddle shifter (at least mine does). And also when you put it in sport Mode. The gear shift ratio gets higher. Makes the suv feel like a sports car. The suspension gets tighter, the gear changes quicker. And the suv will not take going below 60 as an speed.

    6 Faults and AWD Module

    Here we go again. So what ya say about me going back to the dealership to fix the AWD module a second time. The service write-up tech. Was not happy the first time with my explorer.

    Ford should replace everything for you and give you a loaner. Fixing on cars is going to be very skeptical in the up coming future. As we know auto strike is still going on. As everything does the ripple effect. animals could be chewing your wires. Or your wires was exposed to high heat. Or...

    New SYNC Update 23188

    My bad on that response. Didn't see you used the USB feature. Until I hit post. Just think if we all could get the new and improved Sync 4. Which I Don't think it's called Sync anymore. The whole system is run by Google

    New SYNC Update 23188

    Yes I would get 22251 first. Then wait a day or two until ford recognize your update. And offer you the 23188 update. Also very important make sure your location and sharing options are on. So ford knows what your sync version is. My sync wouldn't pull the 23188 update over the air (wifi)...

And also it applied the parking brake automatically when vechile is put in park. Which is niffity since ford has a upcoming...
