    Has Anyone Else?

    I've been stuck twice in cold weather when letting the tank go below 60 miles to empty. The car literally stalled on an incline and wouldn't restart. The first time it burned the fuel pump and had to be replaced. The second time it took a tow truck driver bringing 3 gallons to my driveway in 10...

    Rattling noise coming from underneath new Explorer ST!

    There's a recall for catalytic converters and flex pipes which rattle and also cause fumes.

    Can't decide, ST or Platinum?

    Hate to break it to you but the engine sound in Sport Mode is piped in through the sound speakers inside aka fake engine noise. So outside it still sounds like a minivan! LOL

    Anyone else with Issues after Catalytic Converter Recall??

    Mine sounded and smelled better after the replacement of the driver side catalytic converter. Mine was louder, rattled and smelled like untreated fumes before replacement.

    Sync Issues

    Wow way back in 2017 and you came back! LOL If anything quality and reliability has deteriorated in 5 years. The generation of products 10 years ago had fewer problems by far.

    Sync Issues

    Welcome to the club! This issue has been annoying me daily since April! Consider yourself lucky if you're not one of the people who has been screwed by their Ford dealership who tried to charge them $1000 or more to replace the APIM out of warranty. I'm not even gonna pay my deductible because...

    Black and blue screen for camera all the time

    Early 2022 my camera was replaced after the software update didn't work. Now it works most of the time. Every few weeks I get a brief blue screen for a second then it goes back to normal. Before replacement the screen would stay blue until a key cycle or Sync soft reset.

    Rough Idle When A/C On

    Infotainment wont stay in dark mode

    Yeah mine was built in Nov. 2019 and had a slew of problems the first couple years.

    Infotainment wont stay in dark mode

    For me, the experience was tolerable because I had a good dealer service department, Sheehy Ford in Gaithersburg. No matter how catastrophic the failure they always came through to make it a better experience despite Ford never having a permanent fix for some things like the camera issue. So a...

    Chirping sound in drivetrain, feels like its binding?

    If you still have powertrain warranty it may be covered.
