    Ambient Lighting not working in doors

    Whenever I do a Sync reset by pushing the power and >> button down, I have to turn ambient lighting back on on the touchscreen menu. But that's normal.

    Your ST's pet name??

    That's the Halloween spirit! The white ones are storm troopers, black ones Darth Vader so my Rapid Red might as well be Spider Man.

    I refuse to pay my dealer $100 to update software I can do myself in 30 minutes.

    New SYNC Update 23188

    The simple 30 minute process of downloading the update onto a USB stick and installing it saved me time taking it in to dealer not to mention the $100 deductible on my ESP. I had all the same issues and more for over 5 months. 2 months ago today, I installed the update and all problems went away.

    After putting in gas car hesitates to start

    This happened to my 2013 MKZ. I never got it fixed. It was intermittent and didn't have a problem starting rather it felt like it was stalling out at the first few stops driving then idling. After a mile or 2 it was normal. I think the evap purge valve gets damaged if you overfill the gas tank...

    Which Ford ESP?

    This is why I worry about having mods on my cars because I always maintain warranty coverage.

    headlamp switch module problem

    This has happened to me once or twice a year for the past 3 years. If you turn the switch off and back on the module resets and it won't happen again for a very long time. This is why I never had it checked out.

    My dealer said the warning and faults don't harm the vehicle and you can still drive it. Luckily though mine was fixed withing a couple days.

    4WD Fault Service Required

    I was lucky my dealer changed the sensor free of charge in less than 2 days at 42K miles.

    The stoners and texters and the stoned texters think they're ok to drive as long as they drive super slow. LOL

    Backup Brake Assist

    Lately driving in the fast lane on highways and the speed of drivers ahead of me varies from 45 to 75 routinely here. It's caised by bad drivimg. Intelligent cruise control please! If everyone used it we would all travel more safely and efficiently.

    Backup Brake Assist

    I paid for them and I want to use them. I enjoy technology. I have driven for almost 40 years and don't damage my cars. Machines aren't perfect and are not to be trusted 100% of the time and neither are humans or should be trusted 100%. LOL I have never hit anything in parking ever in 40 years...

    4WD Fault Service Required

    My service advisor said that replacing the half-shaft sensor is the least invasive way to fix this. So far after 3 months and 3,000 miles, it's still fixed.

    Backup Brake Assist

    I enjoy all the bells and whistles on. I'd rather be annoyed than accidentally damage something.

    New SYNC Update 23188

    Most people weren't so lucky and paid out of pocket. This should be a class action lawsuit. The software update caused the APIM to go bad and not reset and purgfe the memory.

    Backup Brake Assist

    I modified my behavior so that the bot doesn't think I'm reckless. LOL I like having the feature burt I agree if you're not expecting it, it can scare the crap out of you!

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    I went in for an oil change and rotation and they replaced all of my window swtiches for the chrome peeling issue. What's great is even if only one switch chrome is peeling, they replace all 7!
