    Several warranty issues- have you had the same?

    No ST replacement for us. We've been getting strung along by Ford for months now and my wife is over it at this point.

    Several warranty issues- have you had the same?

    Just got the offer from Ford Reacquired Vehicle Headquarters on Friday. Signed and sent back. Waiting on them to schedule a closing date at the dealership so we can officially give it back. On a side note, they still haven’t been able to determine what is actually wrong with our vehicle...

    Buyback Data

    No idea about getting another ST yet, as my wife is more than a little pissed at Ford (not that I blame her). The dealer’s service department has had the vehicle since February 15 and still has no clue what is wrong, nor have they been able to fix it, which is pretty concerning. Buyback is...

    Buyback Data

    Still waiting for the actual buyback from Ford. Everythung is supposedly approved, but they haven’t actually given us the final buyout number. Just made another loan payment today on a vehicle that we haven’t seen since February 15th.

    Buyback Data

    So, if I’m reading your statement correctly, you think that we decided to buy a $60,000 vehicle and yet somehow wanted “something different from the start??” That this is simply buyer’s remorse or sticker shock? Perhaps it‘s that we’ve had issues with our vehicle within 24 hours of taking...

    ST: 6 Faults at same time - OUCH!

    Don’t ‘ forget to participate in the buyback survey I started. Although we are only a small percentage of ST owners, I think this data would be good to share with Ford at some point. https://www.explorerst.org/threads/buyback-data.328/page-2#post-3135

    ST: 6 Faults at same time - OUCH!

    We had 109 miles on the odometer when the Park Aid Fault first appeared and it occurred the day after we took delivery. On a 500 mile trip a week later we didn’t see any faults, but within a day of getting home the faults returned. As far as a pattern, it didn’t matter if we used remote start...

    Which ST SUV Experience location did you sign up for?

    ‘It’s not something the dealer told us about. I only knew about it thanks to this forum. Use this link to sign up. It’ll ask for your VIN, so have it handy: https://www.stsuvexperience.com/index.php/ford-explorer-st-suv-experience/

    Buyback Data

    FINALLY got approved yesterday for the buyback. Supposed to meet at the dealership to sign the papers and give the vehicle back. What an ordeal to make payments on a vehicle that we had in our possession 4 out of 16 weeks.

    ST: 6 Faults at same time - OUCH!

    Ours has been at the dealers since February 15th for the same issues. It was also in for two weeks in January and they replaced all the front sensors, which the dealer said fixed the errors, but within a day the warning lights were all back on. I started taking pictures of the warnings...

    Seven and a half weeks at the dealer and still no buyback.

    Buyback Data

    Ford STILL has not approved my buyback. It’s been in the shop for five straight weeks now, and a total of seven weeks. Very frustrating.

    Buyback Data

    Our build date was 10/19. I too hope our replacement will be flawless! We found the exact same color as ours, and with the same options as ours, at another local dealer. No idea on the build date yet, but we’re just waiting on Ford to call me back to resolve this.

    Buyback Data

    We spent $54,000 for a vehicle that has been in the shop for six weeks out of the nine weeks we have owned it. I don’t think I have been venting on here, but I could be mistaken. This is not a situation I have been faced with before and had been quite frustrating and time consuming - and I am...

    Buyback Data

    Well, Ford Customer Service never called back last week like they said they would. Guess I’ll have to call them again tomorrow.

    New replacement.

    Ours has a B VIN, yet the build date was October 2019.
