    It finally happened............

    So, just like I thought might happen, the tow truck driver got in it and it started right up, and all the electronics worked. It's on his flatbed anyway, headed to the dealer. They said they still wanted to look at it, and I sure don't want it to happen again on the road.

    Will do. The service department says they are full, so it may be a day or two, but I think I already guessed that.

    It finally happened............

    After exactly one year and 11,000 miles mine developed "the troubles". Yesterday about half of the electronics stopped working, cameras, driver alert, even the clock. I parked it overnight and this morning the battery was dead. When I tried to jump start it every alarm on the dash display...

    Can't decide, ST or Platinum?

    I traded my 1017 Platinum for the 2020 ST and haven't regretted it for a minute. The Platinum is nice, a fie attempt at a luxury car, but the ST goes in a different direction. It's a high performance SUV, something you don't find very often. If you want luxury and comfort go with the Platinum...

    Extreme cold issues

    I haven't seen it in the book anywhere, but using the stalk switches the "auto" icon on and off. Now, how did you activate navigation in motion?

    Extreme cold issues

    My auto high beams take a vacation every so often. They usually start working again all by themselves. Do you know you can turn the auto function on and off with the high beam stalk? Push or pull it and look for the "auto" icon with the other light icons.

    Name ONE ST Feature others might not know.....

    I'm pretty sure it does both. There are several places where it changes the speed limit well before I pass a sign.

    TPMS programming issues

    I read somewhere that Ford uses 2 different frequency TMPS. If your new ones are Ford takeoffs that might be the problem. I recently switched to a set of takeoffs from another ST and they linked up within 5 minutes

    Let's See Some Photos From The "Rich Copper" Gang

    It's the only one in this color that I've seen. We walked into the showroom and there it was. My wife, who's not a car person, looked at it and said "YES"'

    Forscan code

    There's an option in Forscan, it think it's called Secure Idle or Police Mode or something like that, that won't let you drive it without the key fob. You can leave it running but it won't go into gear.

    How to clean/treat dashboard?

    Mine had the same problem when I picked it up. I used whatever leather treatment I had on hand and it's looked fine ever since.

    ST Experience

    The only thing my wife couldn't ride along in was the skid car. The instructor rode shotgun for that one. She rode with me for everything else and loved it. She could have driven most of the events if she had been able to. When she didn't, they let me take the extra turns.

    Parking brake auto setting in Drive

    I really don't remember, but I don't recall any circumstances that stood out as a reason for it.

    Parking brake auto setting in Drive

    Mine did that once. I figured I must have hit the switch accidentally. I never heard of it happening before to anyone else.

    It was unexpected, running into you this afternoon. I've more or less stopped looking for other ST's on the road, there are so few of us. We were running late for an appointment or I would have suggested we pull over and talk. Maybe one of these days we can get together for a cup of coffee or...

    Unexpected auto braking with nothing behind vehicle

    Mine does it occasionally if while backing into the garage I get too close to the side of the door opening.

    What I like about my ST

    When you get the chance, go to one of the Explorer Experience events. Pushing one of their ST's hard is even more fun than doing it with your own.
