    wind buffeting with sunroof

    In 36 years of driving I've never had a fuel pump fail, rear window defroster peel, transmission A clutch and support break, rear camera defect (I've owned 3 cars with cameras since 2010) and a battery that only lasted only 18 months! All of these things have been repaired or replaced in a...

    wind buffeting with sunroof

    True but this vehicle is very cheaply made. So many people have had their driver's seat fall apart, window switches peel, rear defroster peel off, camera fail, transmission fail, front suspension boot come apart, catalytic converter crack. On and on and on... I've personally experienced most of...

    Also, someone had the rear door sun shades break off when driving with the windows open and shades deployed.

    wind buffeting with sunroof

    Someone here had theirs break off when driving at highway speeds. It is very flimsy and cheaply made and weakly attached.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    The sunroof definitely adds to the noise but I love having one so it's worth it to me. Yesterday it was covered in ice and squeaked horribly over bumps until the ice melted today.

    Back-up Camera Issues

    There's a recall and I discussed it above. The software update for IPMB didn't fix the problem so now they put in a new rear camera last Wednesday. Let's see if it happens again! The recall was issued back in November. I had it done mid-January then a month later it acted up again. Some here...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    The wind noise is horrific at those speeds! It sounds like the roof is gonna fly off it. Sitting in the car wash too when it's going through the dryer there's a draft coming through. I guess I got used to the super quiet Lincolns I owned before this ST. I will admit though that after driving a...

    Transmission issues update

    After 11 days at the dealership, all the parts came in and the tech performed TSB 20-2337. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10186386-0001.pdf The transmission seems to be back to normal operation. I also had the rear camera replaced under warranty after the recall didn't correct the...

    Speakers Not Working

    Are you on the latest version of Sync 3.4 21194? Software updates fixed some of these problems in the past.

    Transmission issues update

    This happened to me today and luckily I was near the dealership and the service department was still open. The transmission technician test drove with me and confirmed that it's the transmission. He told me to leave it and they arranged for a loaner car from a rental car agency which was also...

    Back-up Camera Issues

    I'm no engineer or technician, but if they update software, replace the camera and IPMB, then what's left? It should work like new. Oddly, mine was great for about a year and then started acting up at around a year of ownership and has progressively gotten worse.

    Back-up Camera Issues

    Interestingly, when I called Sheehy Ford Gaithersburg today to tell them the recall didn't fix the camera issue, the advisor told me they have a camera specialist. Also, I had a problem with part of my rear defrost grid not working and the elements are peeling off. He also said they have a glass...

    Back-up Camera Issues

    Same with mine just rear image is blue and sometimes image is there but there is a Reverse Backup Assist fault message on the instrument panel. The fault message also appears when the camera image is blue.

    Back-up Camera Issues

    I read on here that others have had their image control module replaced but don't know if that resolved the issue.

    Back-up Camera Issues

    I had the recall service for the camera software update done on January 14. I had not had the blue screen for 2 months. Today it happened for the first time since a month before the recall work. Now the dealer said they will order a camera and replace it. Let's see if that takes care of it!

    When did Ford remove the temperature display from HVAC controls?

    Despite not having the temperature displayed at the top of the screen, when you change the temperature the large numbers for temperature appear briefly in the middle of the screen for a few seconds and disappear. Just like when you adjust audio volume. So I really don't miss the temperatures at...

    When did Ford remove the temperature display from HVAC controls?

    My 2020 is the opposite after about 6 months a Sync 3 update removed temperature from top of the screen. Now only on HVAC LED display.

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

    Mustang had that feature (also ambient lighting inside) for almost a decade before any other Ford or Lincoln. I had a 2013 MKZ which didn't have that sadly and instead had ugly halogen puddle lamps when the entire vehicle inside and out had LEDs. They added that feature around 2014-15 to all...
