    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    Unfortunately I can't see mine anymore because I had my dealer order and install the missing air deflector back in April 2020, which was left out of many of them. I like having the cleaner look behind the bumper with that black deflector but now I can't see what you're showing but I have photos...

    Fordpass or Forscan

    It also tells you if you have a leaking tire before it's too late and totally flat. In the first 3 months of ownership, I noticed on the app that one tire was lower than the others, right when lockdown began in March 2020. I drove straight to the tire place and had it replaced under warranty...

    Windshield

    I've used EZPass in mine and it wasn't even mounted on the windshield. It was in the center console and it still worked.

    High Mileage Explorer STs check in!

    It's really sad that problems like some of the ones I've had in my 2020 11/19 build are still occurring after recalls and repairs on mine and others as well as later model years up to and including 2023 models. For example, the TSB and recalls for the camera issue and exhaust noise doesn't seem...

    Auto Hold System Fault

    I use the remote start at least once a day. I had this happen a few times this past few weeks on a cold start when I let it run for almost 5 minutes before getting in to drive.

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    I've had an automatic e-brake such as this one on my last 2 Ford products since 2015. I always use it when I park and I NEVER use the button to release the brake, ever. It's designed to release as soon as you tap the throttle. My Fusion Hybrid at work also does the same thing. No big deal! I...

    I have 35,000 miles in 3 years.

    Hyperflash?

    All cars do that with DRL and turn signal and it must be federally mandated so as not to distract from other drivers seeing the turn signal clearly.

    Front blue oval cracks

    Quite the metaphor isn't it especially being a lifetime Ford fanboy.

    CV Joint Leak

    My PremiumCare brochure clearly states all axles, joints and other parts are covered. I haven't taken it in yet for repairs but will soon.

    GPS Failure & Sync Master Reset

    Updating to the latest Sync version helps a lot with these problems. Also, I turned off breadcrumbs in Navigation settings. It causes errors and crashes and unnecessary if you're not off-roading in the wilderness.

    What is missing on the 2022 ST from factory

    They're glossy black like your grill and other trim.

    Looking to purchase 2020 ST

    The only major ones I didn't have are the transmission cooler leak, smoke on cold start and the window switch chrome peeling! LOL

    Looking to purchase 2020 ST

    Definitely go CPO or buy a Ford Protect Premium Care Plan. I have had mine over 3 years now and have bought the warranty. Just today I took photos of my CV boots and both are leaking grease and have to be replaced. Just barely 4 weeks outside of the bumper to bumper warranty with 35,000 miles...

    CVT boots leaking grease

    I think I may have both CV boots leaking grease on mine at 35,000 miles and just less than a month past the 36 month warranty. I did purchase a Premium extended warranty for 7 years/84K miles. Hopefully these will be covered under warranty. Does anyone know if this had a recall or TSB on it...

    Name ONE ST Feature others might not know.....

    I carry my keys because I don't have a keypad on the front door of my house!

    The keypad thing applies to all Ford and Lincoln vehicles built over the past few decades!

    Name ONE ST Feature others might not know.....

    This is a safety feature so that you don't accidentally open the hood while the car is moving. It has a 2 pull hood release rather than a one pull and second release lever under the hood.
