    2020 Explorer ST starting problem

    That pretty much sums up everyone's feeling on here. This is the support group for the trauma and stress of ownership woes.On the other hand, think of all the other owners who don't belong to these forums. For them, ignorance is bliss but then they can't recognize warning signs or have an...

    USB ports in center console stopped working

    I have the latest Sync update and that's it. I'm so OCD that I regularly check my oil life % and tire pressure multiple times while driving and look at FordPass readings many times a day. Not many other owners could confidently say they have in fact observed 96% oil life displayed on the IP? I...

    2020 Explorer ST starting problem

    My 11/19 build at 10,800 miles stalled and had to be towed and had fuel pump replaced.

    USB ports in center console stopped working

    It's unbelievable the number of electronic gremlins this thing has! Most are intermittent, inconsistent and frustrating to diagnose it seems. My one consistent pet peeve is every time the oil life percentage hits 96% it goes to 0% on the dashboard display and then at 95% down to 60% on down it's...

    What’s that smell?

    It will be gone in about a month or 1000 miles. This is totally normal.

    What don't you like about your ST?

    Wow that is a great deal! I can't believe that ST was at the dealer lot for a year and only driven 7 miles. Mine was built 11/19 and bought on 12/4/19 so in stock less than 3 weeks and had about 15 miles on it before I started test driving it and purchased with 42 miles on it. Congrats!

    Sport Mode - Maual Always on / available?

    That is correct! The 6 speed in my 2013 MKZ did the same thing with paddle shifters. In sport mode, it would stay in the gear selected and was in manual until you put it back in D.

    What don't you like about your ST?

    Auto high beams work very well and I always appreciate when they activate on darker roads!

    What don't you like about your ST?

    I have no complaints about my headlights. I drove a 2013 MKZ with adaptive LED projectors and I like the ST better!

    400 miles and towed

    Many Audi owners have switched to the ST so they should feel right at home!

    Anyone get frustrated with people thinking you are a cop?

    Love that architect Calatrava! Great view out!

    Touch screen stopped responding to touch

    As far as I know every time you stop and restart the vehicle, the Sync also reboots. The shortcut is to avoid stopping the engine and everything else while also moving. FYI, the ambient lighting turns off every time you hard reboot the Sync system. You have to go to settings and turn ambient...

    What don't you like about your ST?

    Actually that was the other theory on mine. I had a flat tire back in March and maybe the spare wasn't secured in the trunk after the new tire was mounted.

    What don't you like about your ST?

    I have a hunch my creaky squeaky noise is from the cargo area floor cover shifting in place. Because after I have opened that compartment under the floor, the rattle noise seems to go away until it's shifted again.

    What don't you like about your ST?

    If a CPO ST were close to low 40K then it would be a sweet deal with less than 15,000 miles. Honestly haven't looked but that's how I would shop Lincolns, 1-2 year old, low miles.

    What don't you like about your ST?

    Certified Preowned, low-miles vehicle would've been a sweet deal on an ST if it were available to me.

    What don't you like about your ST?

    It's worth a look at 2021 but others on here have said the deals on 2020's are too good right now to ignore! A year ago I didn't have that option. In early December 2019, I got 8,000 off MSRP but no 0% financing deals available then. COVID-19 changed that as well, a mere 3 months later.

    What don't you like about your ST?

    Like many reviewers have said, Ford has built their own version of a BMW X5 for tens of thousands less! At least in the way it drives, it matches much more expensive European sporty SUVs.

    What don't you like about your ST?

    Many others complained about about rear door panel noises and dash noises especially in extreme heat. Maybe if yours was built in 2020, they resolved some manufacturing issues. Or maybe the sound from your aftermarket exhaust covers up other minor noises!

    What don't you like about your ST?

    Agreed and this is my first ever SUV after many years of sport/luxury sedans. I feel like this has the perfect balance of luxury, looks and performance. It excites me on a daily basis. It is my daily relief and oasis from COVID fatigue!
