    updated forscan spreadsheet???

    They're not adaptive on my 2020 ST just auto-highbeam. Maybe adaptive only on the Platinum and Aviator. My 2010 and 2013 MKZ had adaptive headlights which swiveled with the steering wheel direction. Kinda cool but I don't really miss that. The only time I wish I had it is on a really dark exit...

    updated forscan spreadsheet???

    Our gauge display is one I've seen not only on Explorer but also the Escape, Focus, Puma, etc. that are available in other countries as well since 2020 model year. I think ours was their global graphics display at the time for their mainstream models. F Series pickups and Mustangs don't share...

    Mine never comes on when parking in forward That's what the camera button on the dash is for and I use it almost daily when parking. Does yours not have that camera button on the center stack?

    Transmission help

    Whatever it is it sounds serious like a failed transmission. 2020's are known for that. Mine was rebuilt at about 25K miles. I still have 9K left on powertrain and bought an extended full PremiumCare warranty from Ford until 85K miles or 84 months. I hope you still have powertrain warranty which...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Other brands do that too even some premium ones. I see that almost every day. Acura MDX and others for years would have LED accents stripes with incandescent brake and turn lamps in the back of the stripes! That looks even weirder. Kinda like cars that had HID headlights with incandescent fog or...

    Leaking oil?

    My CV boots were replaced last year because I saw grease splattered all over the front suspension and some on my driveway. This axle thing was because I had shuttering and noise on turns and errors popping up on the screen for 4wd and other things.

    Leaking oil?

    I had mine done last week. So far so good. I think the PCM was reset too. I noticed it started driving smoother about a week after the work was done. I think about 2 or 3 days ago I noticed an improvement. When I first picked it up, I could feel and even hear the front axle connecting and...

    Exhaust Break behind muffler

    I've had a slew of major repairs since the first 10 months of ownership, but luckily so far they have all been under bumper to bumper, powertrain, emission warranty or TSB or recall. I knew a year and a half ago when the 3 year warranty was ending I should buy a FordProtect PremiumCare for 4...

    Sun Roof Fabric Issue

    This reminds me over 5 years ago, my 2013 MKZ which had the panoramic sunroof started making a noise when opening and closing. So I took it into the dealer and they had it for about 42 days before they could fix it. They had to send it to a company that specializes in convertibles and sunroofs...

    High Mileage Explorer STs check in!

    Ouch so it's out of powertrain warranty which goes until 60K miles. I have 50K miles on mine and have about 8 months left on powertrain. Hoping to take advantage of my Ford Protect PremiumCare after December for 2 more years. I've had a slew of repairs under powertrain warranty like both CV...

    Exhaust Break behind muffler

    I know wat you mean! At almost 4.5 years and 50K miles, I feel like I'm driving a vehicle over twice as old! It was designed and engineered to fall apart when the lease ends. LOL Problem is I didn't lease it, I bought it.

    Sun Roof Fabric Issue

    I olnly close my shade in the warmer summer months. Hope mine never does that and if it does hope the PremiumCare warranty covers it.

    Never noticed this before??

    Mine is red everywhere but it's a different red. It's a tri-coat so it's missing the final glossy coat so it's almost like a darker matte red on the inner panels and underbody as well.

    Driveshaft Seal Check

    I just had this done and so far so good. I've had the car back 2 days now. Fingers crossed! I'm grateful to my service advisor for giving me a free rental car and doing the repairs under powertrain warranty, which only has 8 months/10K miles left on it! I still have about 2.5 years left on the...

    6 Faults and AWD Module

    I just had this done under powertrain warranty. I had the codes and grinding noise when turning backing in and out or making a u-turn and the car also drove lurchy with intermittent disconnecting and reconnecting of front axle AWD. It took about a week to complete and was provided a free rental...

    360 Degree View Camera Alignment using FDRS...Now Forscan!

    I take it to Sheehy Gaithersburg, which is where I bought mine. I've never taken this vehicle to Lindsay. My previous 2 vehicles were Lincolns I had bought used and took them to Lindsay for repairs.

    360 Degree View Camera Alignment using FDRS...Now Forscan!

    The 360 is made up of the 4 camera images combined: rear, front and side mirror cameras. I took mine to Sheehy Ford a few weeks ago and they replaced the camera and wiring in about 2-3 hours. I made an appoiointment on their website. Their radio and camera tech is there between 10am-2pm Monday...

    2023 Audio System Issues

    WIFI updates rarely worked well for me and took days sometimes to complete. The USB download and upload/installations usually take under an hour total.
