    Buyback Data

    I wouldn't go so far as to use that analogy, as our problems began within the first week of owning it. I get the sense that those of us that have issues with our STs had the issue from the get go, and they did not develop several weeks or months down the road.

    Several warranty issues- have you had the same?

    Got approved from the dealer for the buyback, and am now in the process of contacting Ford Customer Service to initiate on their end. On another note, Ford is paying our first month's car payment, as it's been in the service department for over four weeks out of the eight we have owned it.

    Buyback Data

    I’m almost certain we will get another ST. The dealer said we may be able to do a dealer transfer to get the exact same color and options as ours, but I’m leaning toward ordering a brand new one.

    Buyback Data

    After reading all the posts on the forum regarding warranty issues and the trouble some of us are having with our STs, I thought it would be helpful to track who has needed to a buyback from Ford. There are four choices, and you can change your response as necessary. For instance, we are...

    Auto Hold System Fault

    Interestingly enough, I’ve noticed an increase in faults when I get the car washed and then go to drive it a short time later. In other words, go to the car wash on the way home, park it, then drive it an hour or two later. As soon as I start it up the warning lights start going off. This is...

    New Mexico Owners

    Saw a white ST at Trident III on Craycroft in Tucson, AZ yesterday. Couldn’t figure out who the owner was to invite them to our forum. Maybe next time.

    Capless fuel tank issues?

    Same here. I’ve noticed the faster the fuel comes out, the more problems it seems to cause.

    Hot Mess

    According to the sticker, it was manufactured 10/19 and we purchased it on 01/02/20.

    Hot Mess

    Not a lot of snow or below freezing temperatures here in Albuquerque, NM. It’s done it at all times of day, but the most warning lights came on at around 7:00pm on a Friday night when the temperature was right around 55 degrees.

    Hot Mess

    I’ve got all the same warnings before. The dealer has replaced several sensors, both front and rear, and I am still getting them from time to time. If you can, take pictures of each warning so you can show them. My service guy said it really helped.

    Good to know. Thanks for the information!

    Explorer ST Street And Track Packages

    The price difference between the ST Street Pack and the High Performance Package is $600, so one would be safe to assume it would be around the same amount for just the HP pads. Heading to the dealer tomorrow, so I can ask the parts department if they can give me a quote. Will let you know.

    Several warranty issues- have you had the same?

    Finally picked up the vehicle from the dealer yesterday after being there a week, and while on a food run at 7:00pm I was pulling into the restaurant parking lot, then a whole litany of alerts popped up. Here they are in order: 1. Service AdvanceTrac 2. 4WD Fault Service Required 3. Auto Hold...

    Several warranty issues- have you had the same?

    Vehicle went back to the dealer last Thursday, so almost 2 weeks in service during the first four weeks we’ve owned it. They said it would be ready yesterday, but no one called. Calling this morning for an update. Same issues as last time: 1. Auto park error 2. Park aid fault 3. Reverse brake...

    Air recirc button

    I think the thing to consider with your experience tonight is the outside temperature. 60 degrees should be cool enough that it wouldn’t necessarily fog up the windows. I’ve always noticed it shuts off more in the winter than in the summer, but this is anecdotal more than anything. My company...

    Air recirc button

    To the best of my knowledge, it’s not a defect but something Ford has intentionally programmed into all of their vehicles. I‘ve owned 3 Fusions, 3 Escapes, and I’m on my 2nd Explorer. My 2015 Escape Titanium, 2016 Fusion Titanium, 2019 Explorer XLT, and 2020 Explorer ST all had/have the same...

    Auto Hold System Fault

    I’ve been getting the same message intermittently since we bought the vehicle.
