    Throttle Body Malfunction

    My 2020 ST broke down about 2 weeks while going down the highway. Wife said there was no power and she felt that transmission was acting up. Waited for the tow truck for 3 hours. I was hot. Dealer informed me yesterday that the ST needs a new throttle body and also a catalytic converter (all...

    Anyone else have mismatched trim fitted to the doors?

    Did you buy it used? I would get it replaced under warranty if you are under 36k miles.

    Exhaust smell inside vehicle

    Well last week the ST broke down completely when my wife was driving it on the highway. I had to call Ford for a tow truck. Wife said it had no power, I told her to shut it off and restart, she said it still wasn't right. So the ST is at the dealer for that issue and I explained that another...

    Door keypad issue

    This cannot be possible that they designed it to shut down over time with non-use, as I believe that they designed it for the keys to remain in the vehicle at all times. So if I didn't use the ST for several days I would not be able to get in. Of course my wife can use her phone as a back up and...

    Turbo Issues/No boost

    I had this happen to me 2 days ago. Sat waiting for a tow truck for 3 hours. ST sitting at dealer. They tried to not to give me a loaner, so I called Ford Customer Service and they made dealer give me a loaner, as it is covered during the warranty period. Basically Ford covers the cost of the...

    Exhaust smell inside vehicle

    Okay, just took my ST into very reputable dealer with a great Service Dept. Got the screen update and had them take a look at the exhaust smell issue. Service Advisor was at first telling me had never heard of this problem, likely really I say to myself. About an hour later he comes to me...

    Rear end damage

    The person's insurance company that is at fault should provide you with a rental vehicle. They cannot say that you have to drive an unsafe vehicle.. Be persistent if necessary, you should already have the rental by now.

    Rear end damage

    From your descriptions I bet it will be at least $10K to repair it right. Don't accept it from the body shop until you are satisfied. Hopefully his insurance pays for your rental car.

    Catalytic Converter Cracking

    I also just started a new thread a few days ago indicating that I have the exhaust smell inside my ST. Wife and I are are really upset about this issue. Taking it in to dealer next week. I will take to multiple dealers if necessary, but trying the one with the best known Service Dept first.

    Exhaust smell inside vehicle

    Well guys, this may do it for me. At about 20K miles my wife and I have noticed an exhaust smell inside the vehicle. Not willing to keep the ST with this issue. Taking it into the dealer to have it looked at next week along with the recall on the screen. I might see what they will give me for it...

    How many people warm up their Explorer ST before driving?

    Start and go, in my opinion. Wife uses it a lot more than I do, so she may start it with her phone to make it comfortable for her, but not for the sake of the ST.

    What kind of washer fluid are you using

    I just get the Walmart fluid and usually have no issues. I put new Michelin blades on, but OEM were actually better. I was a diehard Trico fan, being a parts pro at PepBoys in my former life, but feel that Bosch and some others have caught up in quality. Also, try cleaning your blades with...

    Wider tires on the ST's 20" wheel

    I won't need tires until later next year, but seeing if anyone has put a different size tire on their 20" inch ST rims to get a sportier look, say a size 275/50R20?

    Anyone ever made a SPORT button?

    A little off subject, but if all those lights start flashing on my dash again I will just cover them up with black electrical tape like we had to do with the Chevy's, but at least it was not untill 100K miles.
