    pre-collision assist

    They probably improved the software in the refresh. They upgraded co-pilot 360 to BlueCruise so maybe they improved the rear brake assist and collision braking feature. In the 2020 they are way too sensitive and overreacts or is slow to realize the threat of collision has passed.

    Smoking on startup after sitting

    My 2013 Lincoln MKZ turbo started doing that but so far my 2020 ST hasn't at 63K miles.

    Exhaust Leaks from Flex Pipes and Catalytic Converter 57K Miles

    I didn't opt in on those things but recently did replace both key fob batteries for the first time after almost 6 years.

    Exhaust Leaks from Flex Pipes and Catalytic Converter 57K Miles

    Ford Premium Care covers most repairs but a few things it doesn't cover. I know lighting has a separate coverage.

    Rear differential noise on decel

    The D.C. area PD's aren't ordering them anymore. They have purchased new Chargers and Durangos instead. My local PD fleet manager told me recently. They're getting Tahoes for K-9.

    Emissions error

    I have an extended warranty until the December 2026. I should be ok.

    Rear differential noise on decel

    The Explorer's warranty repairs are bleeding Ford! I'm told local police departments stopped ordering them because they've been so unreliable especially the hybrids.

    Rear End Failure

    Last year I had my differential replaced twice in a few months and also the transfer case twice. They didn't find anything wrong with the driveshaft. Most recently they replaced the AWD module under warranty. It drove better after that repair. Recently I have noticed in extreme hot weather it...

    Low pressure fuel pump recall.

    I know that and I've learned to live with it. There have been other threads about that. I don't want to end up with another burned fuel pump or get stranded somewhere. It's been years since I've seen a low fuel warning! LOL My previous cars I would wait too long to fill. With this thing, 5-6...

    Low pressure fuel pump recall.

    Mine failed within the first year. I was 65 miles from empty on my way to the gas station. Engine stalled and pump had to be replaced. Another time parked on an incline, it wouldn't start. I had to add 5 gallons to start it. Since then I never let it go below a 1/4 tank before fillup.

    2020 ST Transmission being fully rebuilt

    MIne was rebuilt at about 25,000 miles and was driving better than new. They did the TSB for it and now I'm at 62K.

    Knocking out a pile of stuff this week.

    The dash display doesn't seem to know it's full time AWD. Mine shows rear drive until you jab the accelerator then the front drive shaft also displays. At highway speeds coasting it shows RWD until you accelerate hard to.

    2020 Explorer ST

    There are several different OBD codes for the same warnings which will result in different repairs. I've had the half-shaft speed sensor replaced, then the FADA TSB and most recently the AWD Module replaced. All were either under powertrain warranty or extended warranty. My advisor said they...

    2020 Explorer ST - Lots of hassle and work done at 35k miles - any success stories welcome

    As a fellow owner of a 2020 and I've had more than my fair share of major warranty repairs. Nevertheless, I have to admit that I still love it. All of my repairs have been covered under warranty and I still have 1.5 years left on the extended warranty. It will be 6 years old in 5 months! I've...

    6 Faults and AWD Module

    6 Faults and AWD Module

    UPDATE: Got my car back today and they replaced the AWD Module, which was the first time for this part. So it drives really well now!

    Lift gate chime

    I would never turn my warning chimes off. That hatch has always had a mind of its own and opens when you walk by the foot sensor for the hands-free liftgate and sometimes even closes while you're standing in front of it rearranging cargo! OUCH!
