    Clunk in front end

    https://www.explorerst.org/threads/2025-ford-explorer-st-front-end-popping-noises-at-low-speeds.8168/ I'm at 4k miles and having a strut mount replaced currently.

    Extended warranty ?

    And make sure if you do it, add the first day and enhanced rentals, all light and key options. They aren't included in the base price and LEDs are expensive if you need to replace.

    Extended warranty ?

    Since we have the ST

    Nice. Didn't want to wait for the super duty powerboost ?

    Build date and time on lot….?

    2025 job 1 May build here. Both keys have ST on them and steering wheel is powered tilt/telescoping. But, I've had a lot of QC issues with this unit.

    2025 new sync reviews?

    To me the google based system is very similar to android auto. When switching between the two in the 25 explorer, they both have the same feel, except that I tend to stay in AA most of the time due to the apps on my phone and to get the same experience as I have when in our 2021 F150 with Sync4...

    2025 Ford Explorer ST Front End Popping Noises at Low Speeds

    In the last week (~3800 miles) started to notice an occasional weird noise from the front at slow speeds when going straight that sounds like tumbling wood or like a solid front axle truck suspension wobbling.

    Mis-aligned Pano Sun Shade-Update

    I have a 2025 with both this issue and a exposed headliner posted here: https://www.explorerst.org/threads/2025-headliner-exposed-at-drivers-door.8205/ Dealer inspected and tried to fix early November, but determined they needed to order both a new headliner and a new sunshade. Parts just came...

    First oil change at 2500 miles. Put in that fresh extra virgin organic kirkland olive oil. :)

    2025 Headliner Exposed at Drivers Door

    The dealer has already fixed misaligned body panels and other loose trim pieces. This is the last item and they've ordered a new headliner. Sucks that we didn't notice these items during test drive and/or delivery inspection. Also sucks that this was in Chicago for two plus months on QA hold and...

    2025 Headliner Exposed at Drivers Door

    Fully seated weather gasket exposes headliner: Gasket has to be pulled this far down to cover the headliner: It seems like the headliner is cut wrong or doesn't conform up to fit under gasket.

    2025 Headliner Exposed at Drivers Door

    It's been removed and reseated, no change. The higher it goes, more headliner appears. Setting it lower hides it, but then it is barely on the pinchweld.

    2025 Headliner Exposed at Drivers Door

    What do you mean stick my finger in there and fix it ? It won't stay under like it is supposed to. I've messed with it, the service tech, and the shop manager at the dealer have all tried.

    2025 Headliner Exposed at Drivers Door

    Recently noticed the headliner at the driver's door showing below the door gasket. Adjusted the gasket down to cover, but it slides back up to its natural position. Dealer thinks the headliner needs to be replaced but doesn't know if it will get resolved until they replace it. Replacing the...

    Seat belt graphic in instrument cluster

    It is wild getting into this car and have to press a bunch of OK clearing buttons for idiot lights. I can understand it being red and chiming, but to stay on the screen to tell me it has acknowledged I buckled the seat when I was the one that did it is pretty f'n stupid to show me a green light...
