    Air Conditioning.

    I bought my dream car in 1998, a 1998 Acura CL and the auto climate control worked great the entire 8 years that I had it. It had only seen the dealership one time since bought, and that was for replacement of the timing belt at the recommended interval.

    Gas mileage

    I was thinking the same. Some brake with their left foot which really makes me nervous. Also, how about a sticking caliper?

    Water Getting in Rear Spare Compartment

    I have not had this issue, but typically it will be caused from somewhere higher up on the ST and traveling down into the spare tire compartment.

    Intermittent wipers

    Intermittent wipers

    Same here. Rain sensing works good for me the majority of the time. On occasion I will just turn the wipers on. I would think a proper windshield would need to be used to have the sensing part work correctly.

    Deep Sleep???

    Just get a spouse like mine. She won't give the ST a rest, so of course no battery issues thus far. My ST was built in October 2019 and I bought it brand new in November 2020 with just a few miles on it. It still has the original battery even though it had a rough first year of just sitting.

    Tire replacement

    If you look at the tread pattern these tires are more of a summer tire or for such areas that have warm climates year round.

    Would you upgrade to LCI 2024 ST or go with something else?

    How about a 2024 VW Atlas SEL R-Line or I would possibly consider a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L when they become available if improvements are made to the engine.

    Water leak passenger side carpet wet. 2020 St.

    Thanks for the heads up. I plan on replacing mine myself when the time comes and will pay attention to this. We really should be getting 5-6 years out of our original batteries.

    What’s wrong with this picture?

    The '490 mi to E' is really stretching the truth.

    Rattling noise coming from underneath new Explorer ST!

    Did everyone notice how my flex section of the pipe has been moved much more forward?

    Rattling noise coming from underneath new Explorer ST!

    These are pics of my left side flex pipe that was recently installed by the service department under warranty.

    Problems with key fob global window up/down control and one touch on passenger side

    Sometimes it is just best to take it back to the dealer you bought it from, right or wrong. There is no sense in going to a dealer service department that can't help you. With the key fob, can't really help you with that, sorry, as Ford really designed them to stay in the vehicle at all times...

    Rattling noise coming from underneath new Explorer ST!

    I will try to get a pic of what I think is the redesign of the flex pipe. They moved the flex section forward to possibly have less stress on this part.

    Rear Brake Failure

    What year and how many miles are on your Explorer? Loaner vehicles are covered under warranty if dealer has to keep vehicle more than a day. Trust me, I know from experience. The problem is if you are far away you will likely have to return the loaner when vehicle repairs are completed. A good...

    Rear Brake Failure

    Should be under warranty. You are going to need a caliper, rotor, and brake pads. Cost will add up quickly if you go to another shop. Really depends on how much time you have. Changing over to performance brakes is not really practical at this point if you are on a trip.

    P0068 While Towing

    Any chance it could be the throttle body? This sounds similar to what my ST did and had to be towed to the dealer. They said the issue disappeared the next morning, but then drove it for about an hour and then lost all power. They replaced the throttle body and all has been fine since.

    Rattling noise coming from underneath new Explorer ST!

    On my 2020, just had my left side catalytic converter and flex pipe replaced under warranty. My rattle is gone for now. On the new flex pipe the flex section of the pipe has been moved closer to cat converter. I was thinking this was either a design change or the tech was able to make a right...

    Roof Rail is fading

    MY2020 has much nicer roof rails. After that year Ford saved a few dollars by putting the the base model Explorer roof rails on the ST.
