    Are you out of warranty?

    Theft

    I haven't had the club on a vehicle I've owned since 2002!

    Back-up Camera Issues

    That was before the camera replacement for me. For almost a year, I've never had to restart the vehicle to have the camera come back. It comes back on its own. So it is "better." It's good enough that I haven't asked them to look at the problem again. The software update was Ford's BS solution...

    Back-up Camera Issues

    Mine was not fixed by the software update from the recall so the camera was replaced almost a year ago and it works better. I get blue screen occasionally but it only lasts a second whereas before it would stay blue until you restart the vehicle.

    Autostop and heat shutting off

    It's supposed to turn the engine back on or stay on if engine warm up is needed. Also in summer when AC is running it's supposed to keep the engine running to keep the interior cool. I would recommend setting the temp higher on the HVAC to keep the engine running longer. I am more annoyed with...

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    Unfortunately I can't see mine anymore because I had my dealer order and install the missing air deflector back in April 2020, which was left out of many of them. I like having the cleaner look behind the bumper with that black deflector but now I can't see what you're showing but I have photos...

    Fordpass or Forscan

    It also tells you if you have a leaking tire before it's too late and totally flat. In the first 3 months of ownership, I noticed on the app that one tire was lower than the others, right when lockdown began in March 2020. I drove straight to the tire place and had it replaced under warranty...

    Windshield

    I've used EZPass in mine and it wasn't even mounted on the windshield. It was in the center console and it still worked.

    High Mileage Explorer STs check in!

    It's really sad that problems like some of the ones I've had in my 2020 11/19 build are still occurring after recalls and repairs on mine and others as well as later model years up to and including 2023 models. For example, the TSB and recalls for the camera issue and exhaust noise doesn't seem...

    Auto Hold System Fault

    I use the remote start at least once a day. I had this happen a few times this past few weeks on a cold start when I let it run for almost 5 minutes before getting in to drive.

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    I've had an automatic e-brake such as this one on my last 2 Ford products since 2015. I always use it when I park and I NEVER use the button to release the brake, ever. It's designed to release as soon as you tap the throttle. My Fusion Hybrid at work also does the same thing. No big deal! I...

    Hyperflash?

    All cars do that with DRL and turn signal and it must be federally mandated so as not to distract from other drivers seeing the turn signal clearly.

    Front blue oval cracks

    CV Joint Leak

    My PremiumCare brochure clearly states all axles, joints and other parts are covered. I haven't taken it in yet for repairs but will soon.

    GPS Failure & Sync Master Reset

    Updating to the latest Sync version helps a lot with these problems. Also, I turned off breadcrumbs in Navigation settings. It causes errors and crashes and unnecessary if you're not off-roading in the wilderness.
