    Anyone else getting crazy good mpg?

    Today I observed the best fuel economy since December 2019, when I purchased the ST. I drove 192 miles mostly highway speeds and the Trip Odometer displayed 25.2 MPG. The real MPG based on my calculation at fillup was the same for the first time ever, and even slightly higher at 25.33 MPG. My...

    Guidance please. Sun Roof Track Replacement

    My 2013 MKZ Panoramic roof made a noise. It took over 40 days to repair it by an outside shop who specialized in roofs. They had to take photos and send them to Ford before they could get replacement parts under a warranty claim. It probably sat for about 2 weeks before any work was done on it.

    Battery Replaced at 19 Months/19K Miles

    Yesterday at a red light, the Auto Start/Stop cut off my engine with AC and radio running. In a couple minutes instead of the engine restarting (it was a 95 degree hot/humid day) I lost all electrical power. The engine would not restart and could not even flash the hazards! I opened the hood, a...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    I've had my cupholder hero kit since September. Recently I noticed several of them are warping from the heat and sun and underside is all greasy! It's mainly the ones in the front and rear consoles that are affected. The ones in the cupholders and doors seem to not have this problem yet. When I...

    Sunroof Windscreen Failure

    Those accordion like flaps on the sides of the glass are really flimsy and poorly fitting too! We should be grateful that unlike many cars with large glass roofs these days, we have a retractable shade which is opaque. Some have no shade or a uselss translucent one which lets a lot of sun in...

    Back-up Camera Issues

    Those are preferences in your display setup using your menu buttons on the steering wheel. You just have to select them again. Often when you have updates or a factory reset it goes back to default settings and your preferences are lost. This has happened to me more than once.

    Malfunction indicator lamp

    Is the check engine light on? Mine did this at 2000 miles and the dealer reprogrammed the PCM and updated it. Now at almost 18,000 miles it hasn't happened again.

    Sync 3.4 Update (Build 21020) Now Available on the Owner Site

    I used the USB to install the updates. But the system was also updating for over a week over WiFi after the initial USB installation. So it seemed to be having trouble completing the installation.
