Funny, after 20 years of driving with “normal” cruise control, I tried adaptive/intelligent cruise and hated it so I turned it off. Meh, to each their own.

Mine is “GO AHD” but I’m a fire dispatcher so that’s a radio lingo tribute and nothing to do with the vehicle lol.

Welcome, from Burlington, ON

I know you said they started working again, but when they were acting up, would they not go up at all or they would go up then roll back down a bit?

Only use I have for Eco is in bumper to bumper traffic, makes the stops and starts less herky jerky since the throttle response and shifting is gentler.

Fair to say a lot of factory-fill fluids look bad because of additives they contain for break-in management etc etc

My dealership says to do all the driveline fluids including transmission fluid every 50,000-60,000km (31,000-37,000mi) and that agreed with my own logic and professional past experience, so I’ll be servicing them roughly every 50k. I do not believe in “lifetime fill” fluids, experience has...

Just noticed this comment now. My brain is now struggling with this mental picture.

Mine did this a few times. Held it up as it rolled up then kept holding it for like 10 seconds once it reached the top, hasn’t done it since.

Interesting. I must try that.

My writeup on how to disable it. https://www.explorerst.org/threads/tailgate-disabling-the-kick-to-open-or-close-motion-feature-full-pictures.1938/

Do you use the parking sensors? If not it’s very fast to just hit the button on the dash, disable both them and the reverse brake assist at the same time. After a while it becomes muscle memory & very routine - I speak from personal experience. Doing it from the settings menu is painful as f*ck.

They must have made that change for the 2021s then. My 2020 turns all the nannies back on at every startup. Nice to hear they updated that…wish it would come out as an update for the 2020’s, although I’m just as happy turning off the parking sensors anyway as I can’t stand all the...

Is yours a 2021? Wondering if that was a software update they made. No matter how many times I turned it off in settings, mine would come back on the very next startup (mine is a 2020).

Not as a default no, unless there is a way to due it through Forscan. Easiest way it to turn off the parking sensors with the button on the dash at each start.

Well that’s reasonable at least.

Until that one asshole comes and parks right beside you in a lot full of empty spaces lol.

I’ve tried it for a gag and it works alright but it’s painfully slow. I can P-park faster so I just do it myself. Even though I grew up watching Knight Rider and believing in a car that could drive itself, I don’t trust it and I hate waiting for it so I just do my own parking.

Sounds like probably a little plastic worm gear lr something as part of the adjustable steering column not working right/defective.

Don’t think that’s the case. Not positive, but the whole point of the motion sensing tailgate is for you to be able to walk up with arms full of groceries and other such shit and open the tailgate without ever having to use your hands. The keyfob just needs to be in proximity for the car to let...
