    Shaking and vibration while braking at high speed

    Could be a number of thing from a warped rotor(s), out of balance, bent wheel, belt separation on tire(s), noise reduction foam in tire(s) becoming loose. If the vibration is present when braking, then it is most likely a warped rotor. Get them resurfaced rather than replacing if you can. If the...

    ST: 6 Faults at same time - OUCH!

    Took mine in for these codes and had something to do with the transfer case and its components, which are being replaced once the parts come in.

    Rough Idle When A/C On

    RPM's would drop and recover and engine would stumble. Haven't really noticed it lately so not concerned anymore.

    Rough Idle When A/C On

    Issue comes and goes. Of course, dealership/service dept said they couldn't find anything wrong.

    After Camera Recall

    Regarding the possessed tailgate. Do yourself a favor and disconnect the foot motion sensor. I had the exact same issue, which the dealership could not replicate. I called out their BS and they in turn had no reasonable explanation/fix. Went to another dealership, same experience. There is a...

    Tire Balance Problems with Pirelli Scorpion's (275/45/21)

    Could be a tire belt shifting/separating as well. Happened to me at the 34k mark.

    Any ideas what the problem could be for this light to come on?

    Had the dealership clear it for me and hasn't came back since after noticing it a few times. Said it was a software update error of sorts and nothing to be concerned of.

    Steering off Center!?! Multiple Wheel Alignments CAN'T Correct!

    I just got all new tires with an alignment and the steering wheel is now off center and veers to the left when centered. Taking it back to the dealer for the third time in two weeks now for unrelated issues. This thing is most problematic vehicle I have ever owned.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Taking mine in for a leaking CV boot. So they replaced the entire axle?

    CV Joint Leak

    Let me know what the fix is and what they charge you. I'm hoping that it is just the boot needing to be replaced and no other damage has been done.

    CV Joint Leak

    Of course Ford cannot get me in until next week and this is my only mode of transportation until then. How safe is this to drive? Or, does it really all depend? I have obligations during the week that requires about a 20 mile round trip a few times.

    CV Joint Leak

    Appreciate this. Hoping that it is indeed as easy as replacing the boot and torquing the clamp correctly.

    CV Joint Leak

    Welp after noticing a slight vibration coming from the middle of the cabin, I checked underneath to see if there was any visible damage, leaks, etc. I had a serious vibration from a "bent" wheel about six weeks ago that was fixed. Fast forward about four weeks after the repair and I notice the...

    Dr. ColorChip Advice

    Purchased Dr. ColorChip and applied to a couple scratches that could not buff out. Followed the instructions, watched a few YouTube videos and even had someone that has used it many times before help out. After a couple applications, the scratches still show through. Any advice from anyone who...

    Bad Vibration After Tire Rotation

    Welp the vibration after the wheel repair has reared its ugly head again four weeks in. Not as bad as the first time around but noticeable around 75-80. No steering wheel shake this time and vibration has moved more to the center of vehicle. I have lost track of how many times this ST has been...

    A little frustrated

    Well this all now makes sense. I was wondering why I am constantly filling up the reservoir.

    A little frustrated

    Front camera washer? I have a 2020 and never knew this was a feature! How do you go about activating it?

    Exhaust smell

    I really don't understand how these dealerships are so incompetent to not be able to "replicate" this known issue. I honestly believe that some folks on this forum have more knowledge than a lot of Ford service advisors and techs. When I took mine in for the first time with this issue and the...

    RED PAINT Flaking off brake calipers already

    Having this issue as well on my front passenger side caliper along with clear coat peeling on the wheels. I contacted Ford directly who mentioned the below. I had this chat transcript emailed to my Gmail account just in case I need to use it when taking it in to get fixed. I would suggest you...
