    Driver Lower Seat Panel - Outboard Side

    Does anyone know if they have to remove the seat to install the broken part or can it just be replaced while the seat is still mounted?

    Driver Lower Seat Panel - Outboard Side

    Mine is still under warranty. Yours isn't?

    Intelligent Cruise Control not functioning

    Try pushing the button to re-engage lane-centering. Like the previous poster's pic shows. That button probably has been reset to off position and needs to be turned on again. If it doesn't reappear then turn green when lock-in at speed then something is wrong.

    Best Fuel?

    The most I paid this year was 4.99 and yesterday I paid 3.98. I still always get 87 octane.

    Back-up Camera Issues

    How petty for them to take a few dollars from the customer. Either cover it or don't!

    Transmission Grinding?

    It's probably a version of the same 10-speed transmission we have!

    Transmission Grinding?

    It is pretty obvious Ford has used lower grade materials for many components in this new design. They are not as durable as the previous generation. Just look at the interior plastics that get wear and tear and you'll see what I mean. Hold a Tupperware or Rubbermaid container next to it for...

    Driver Lower Seat Panel - Outboard Side

    Mine just broke a few days ago for the first time. I will have to have it replaced soon under warranty. I'm at 30,500 miles and almost 3 years of ownership.

    Moonroof wind deflector pics

    For 20 years I've had 4 vehicles with sunroofs. All except one were problem free. My 2013 MKZ had the big panaromic one piece glass roof and after 4 years started making a grinding noise. The dealership sent it to a specialist shop and it took 42 days for it to be diagnosed and repaired under...

    Real world mpg

    The more city driving you do, the more optimistic it is. The more highway driving the closer the estimate seems to be to reality. This has been my experience.

    Rattle Diagnosed: Not what you think ...

    Yep I've given up on the idea of fixing any random rattles and squeaks after almost 3 years of ownership. If something breaks I get it fixed.

    Back-up Camera Issues

    Back in March, my dealer flat out said if the software update doesn't solve the problem they will order me a new rear camera. So far for the past 4-5 months that seems to have been the solution, a new camera and updated software.

    Back-up Camera Issues

    It rarely goes blue anymore or get the message and if it happens it's only for 2 seconds. It has been almost 5 months for me since the camera was replaced.

    Anyone get frustrated with people thinking you are a cop?

    Yet they still slow down or get out of my way!

    Anyone get frustrated with people thinking you are a cop?

    Not necessarily, the largest suburban city police department near me uses silver cruisers and have done so for a while. The county uses an off white cream color and D.C. uses white. Some nearby jurisdictions are black or dark gray.

    2020 Explorer ST starting problem

    There is a difference. This problem is not cranking at all. It seems like an electrical or electronic/software issue. My problem with the incline and less than a quarter tank was fuel delivery. So it cranked but wouldn't start. Another time it stalled up hill with 3 gallons left and burned the...

    Anyone get frustrated with people thinking you are a cop?

    I'm noticing it more and more lately and mine is bright red!? I think they only see the black grill and think it's a cop or fire chief.

    Real world mpg

    That number is always over by 1.5-2.5 MPG than the actual MPG. You really maxed out at about 23 MPG.

    POLL: OEM 20" or 21" Wheels

    For me the 21 inch black wheels were a key selling point! I absolutely love the way they look. The street pack models are easier to recognize as an ST than the other ones.

    Auto Stop/Start in Sport Mode?

    What's funny is a mini-van even has a sport mode!? LOL
