    Extended Warranty Question

    I have an extended bumper to bumper warranty that expires on 12/31/23. I have called Ford to schedule some repairs along with a recall but they cannot get me in until after the warranty expires. My question is, will they honor the warranty since I called to schedule and told them the issues...

    6 Faults and AWD Module

    I had the same faults and it ended up being an issue with the transfer case. Replaced under warranty and has been good ever since.

    New Potential Buyer

    Issues aside, I think you really need to consider the depreciation rate on these things. Worst I have ever seen in any vehicle that I have owned. I want to say I paid $56k out the door in Jan of 22 with 20k miles. Now, the trade in value is roughly $33-35k. Granted, I bought this when the market...

    Grey Auto Stop Icon

    Worked like a charm!

    New Potential Buyer

    Stay clear in my personal option. I have a 2020 with 45k miles and have had nothing but issues after two years of ownership. Getting rid of it once extended warranty expires at a huge depreciated rate. Both catalytic converters replaced (drivers side replacement cracking again). Transfer case...

    Grey Auto Stop Icon

    I can't be the only one here with this possible issue. I have tried multiple variations of accessories on/off including turning the AC off while the vehicle is up to temp. Even after driving for a considerable amount of time, the notification I receive on the dash is something to the effect of...

    Grey Auto Stop Icon

    The grey auto stop icon is constantly illuminated while driving. Still, after the vehicle has had enough time to warm up and go through all the motions to activate auto stop. I also just replaced a bad battery, which I thought could be the culprit. Granted, I always turn off the function but...

    Borla or Thermal

    Thermal with flex sections included to get rid of Ford's horrible flex pipes. I have the 2.5" and there is zero drone and not loud. I have seen a few posts where owners have the 3", which has a deeper tone.

    Steering Wheel Slack

    The lack of competency with Ford is concerning to say the least. I have had to immediately take it back on four separate occasions right after driving it off the lot for repairs that were not done correctly. Unfortunately, all Ford service depts within a 25 mile radius have horrible reviews.

    Steering Wheel Slack

    Finally fixed after I had to argue with the service advisor and tech. They initially told me the slack was normal. I laughed at them and told them to check another ST on the lot. Lo and behold the issue was then resolved after the initial disagreement. Apparently when doing transfer case work...

    Steering Wheel Slack

    Yep, that's what I was thinking. Back to the service dept for the 11th time since I've bought this thing a year and half ago. smh.....

    Steering Wheel Slack

    Just picked up my ST from Ford to do some transfer case work. I noticed slight slack (about 1/4 inch) in the steering wheel while driving and when the vehicle is turned off. Can't remember if this was present before but it was one of the first things I noticed after picking it up. Is this slack...

    Battery Replacement

    Looks like there may be other electrical issues per the call with Ford today. Aside from that, need to get parts in for the transfer case that I have been waiting three months for. PITA.....

    Battery Replacement

    Who all out here has had their first factory battery replaced? Mine crapped out on my 2020 with 40k miles and Ford is charging me a ridiculous amount of $345. Also, front driver side window won't roll down after the jump to get it over to the service dept. Anyone experience weird electrical...

    Rough Idle When A/C On

    AC issue is back again causing engine to stumble at a complete stop. Issue goes away when in park, neutral and when AC button is turned off. Having Ford look into it once I take it back in to get my transfer case repaired. This SUV has had more problems than any other vehicle I have ever owned.

    ST was throwing C0631 and U0102 codes with TSB 23-2114 to repair.

    Wipers skip on windshield

    A little WD40 on the blades helps as well and doesn't leave streaks.

    Shaking and vibration while braking at high speed

    Correct, I mentioned that "If the vibration is present constantly at highway speed" then it could be one of those issues. Constantly meaning while driving and just not braking. The belt separation on my tire got worse and more noticeable after several days of driving. Went from a slight...
