    Roof Rail is fading

    Do you guys go to the carwash? My last vehicle 2013 MKZ had gloss black trim on the roof which started to fade in less than 3 years. I noticed on my 2020 ST, my wheels are losing their shine and getting minor scratches from the carwash.

    My tailgate is possessed. I need a priest.

    Welcome to the Worrier's Club! I just had my 2 year anniversary with the ST this past weekend. I still love it but long-term reliability and durability worry me!

    Back-up Camera Issues

    What's interesting is I traveled twice in November leaving the car parked for 5-7 days each time. I noticed I could drive it for several days without having the blue screen problem. Today is the 5th day of driving since Thursday, when I returned after 7 days away, and still no blue screen. Let's...

    Problems with Radio, GPS, and Collision Assistance

    My GPS failed last summer and I had to do a factory reset. So far it works fine after several months.

    I have always not liked molasses but love both honey and maple syrup. I'm equally obsessed with cars and food.

    GPS Failure & Sync Master Reset

    A soft reset is anytime you power off and restart the vehicle or when you press and hold the power and >> button down for 5 seconds, Sync resets. But a factory reset is done through vehicle settings menu.

    dumb question, whats button below park brake do?

    The dangerous thing about all these features is once you are left without them either because you're driving another vehicle or the system fails, you don't remember how to drive without the features and safety systems.

    dumb question, whats button below park brake do?

    I like to use everything on the vehicle I paid for. Unfortunately I don't get much use of the second and third row seats, cargo area, towing or off-road capabilities but that is not by choice.

    Headlights turn on while parked at night

    Mine did this about once a month for several months and hasn't happen in long time.

    Exhaust Recall?

    I suspect I have the same problem with mine. Which would explain not only the rattling noise but also the exhaust fume smell.

    Scratched black wheel

    These wheals look great but very easily scratch at the car wash or the slightest impact!

    Rattling noise coming from underneath new Explorer ST!

    The amount of flaws especially noises, rattles and vibrations both inside and out are unacceptable, I agree. The good news is most non-enthusiasts don't know the ST MSRP is over $60K. All they see is a Ford Explorer with blacked out trim. The average person wouldn't know the difference between...

    Wheels and Tires

    They also changed the hard plastic on the front seat backs to stitched vinyl. Unfortunately they removed the lights in the glove, armrest and center console compartments. Also, discontinued the front camera washer and windshield wiper defrosters.

    Battery replacement? UGH

    Why replace it yourself if it's under warranty??

    Battery replacement? UGH

    Mine failed under warranty and was replaced for no cost by the dealer.

    GPS Failure & Sync Master Reset

    For me the soft reset didn't work. Hours later after arriving home from the city and restarting the vehicle and several soft resets, my maps showed I was still downtown. So I had no choice but a master reset. The other issues were resolved however after a restart.

    GPS Failure & Sync Master Reset

    The only annoying thing is losing all your presets and favorites. Also it took almost 2 weeks for all the Sirius station logos to download.

    AUTO HOLD FAULT

    I use auto-start with keyfob and auto-hold hold is on at all times and have never had this fault in almost 2 years of ownership. I wish I could say the same about the reverse brake-assist fault and blue rear camera which in the past year has gotten worse. I used to happen less than once a month...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    I've had 3 of those in less than 2 years. First was near sidewall and had to be replaced under road hazard warranty at just 4,000 miles. The last 2 in the past 5 months. One was plugged and the one this week I had to buy for over $300 at the dealer. UGH! 20,000 miles and 3 tire punctures!
