    Rough Idle When A/C On

    That reminds me of my 1983 Ford LTD and 1985 Tempo! My ST hasn't done this...Knock on wood!

    Infotainment wont stay in dark mode

    Yeah mine was built in Nov. 2019 and had a slew of problems the first couple years.

    Infotainment wont stay in dark mode

    For me, the experience was tolerable because I had a good dealer service department, Sheehy Ford in Gaithersburg. No matter how catastrophic the failure they always came through to make it a better experience despite Ford never having a permanent fix for some things like the camera issue. So a...

    Chirping sound in drivetrain, feels like its binding?

    If you still have powertrain warranty it may be covered.

    Infotainment wont stay in dark mode

    This is ridiculous and Ford should be fixing this free of charge! I refuse to tinker with this any more or ask the dealer to look at it.

    New Sync 3 Version 3.4.22251

    I agree with the above. These problems are persistent, sometimes intermittent, sometimes more severe. It varies as time goes by. The past 2 days I've seen the top half of the map several times after weeks of only the bottom half of the map showing on start up. Ford better fix this soon. I am not...

    Infotainment wont stay in dark mode

    How do I get the older version of Sync 3? I still have 22251 on my USB drive but that's the bad one.

    Infotainment wont stay in dark mode

    Mine is so bad I can't complete a master reset. I tried several times.

    Infotainment wont stay in dark mode

    The display and background setting is the most subtle symptom which starts the ordeal of no retention of many settings due to lack of memory. I've been dealing with this for almost 2 months. A master reset helped at first until the memory got full again. The most annoying things are radio...

    Shaking and vibration while braking at high speed

    Mine just started doing this the past few days. I have almost 40K miles. Weird coincidence!

    Radio going crazy

    Warranty or not, I'm reading that the fix that Ford does now is replacing the APIM but many have said that is the same as reflashing the APIM and and software. But the flaw in the software causes the rwdata folder to get full and run out of memory. This is why the problems get worse and worse...

    Radio going crazy

    There are many discussions on this online for all version of Sync 3 with the latest software 22251. My problems started in April and have gotten progressively worse. Now I have no FordPass at all and the bottom half of my map is gone. Master reset helps initially until it runs out of memory...

    New Sync 3 Version 3.4.22251

    2024 Explorer refresh will have gigantic screens across the dash! Back in early 2019, the current screen was considered oversized. Now the screens go across the entire dash. They've gone screen crazy! Honestly I'm so fed up with this latest software glitch and memory loss that I may never update...

    New Sync 3 Version 3.4.22251

    I'm really getting fed up with mine. I did one Master Reset about 3 weeks ago and it only got better for about a week until it ran out of memory. I get half the map every time. Last Friday, I did 4 or 5 soft resets while driving for the map to come back gto full screen. Every time I start, my...

    Auto Start / Stop

    Auto-hold, now that's one feature I can never live without! Whenever I drive another vehicle, I am annoyed to have to remember to keep my foot on the brake so the vehicle doesn't roll! LOL
