    ST: 6 Faults at same time - OUCH!

    You are not required to buy any Ford as part of your buyback agreement. Some brave folks have opted for another ST, while we chose to go with a used 2018 Explorer Platinum.

    ST: 6 Faults at same time - OUCH!

    Flood Ford has great prices on extended warranties. They were nearly half what our dealer quoted us. https://www.floodfordesp.com/

    No doubt brother. Read the agreement line by line and when you go to sign it back to them, read it two more times before you take the refund check for the balance. By the way, it took about 6 or 7 business days for them to finally pay off the loan at my credit union. Keep an eye out for the...

    ‘That’s strange because my first offer was a refund, minus the total miles since we took delivery.

    Damn. Sorry brother. Make sure to tell Ford you’re not OK with them deducting personal usage miles, seeing how long it’s taking. Might mean more money in your pocket.

    Buyback Data

    I was able to get them to waive the mileage fee. Told them it would go a long way towards keeping me a loyal Ford buyer. It was the difference between owing them money and getting about $1,000 back, Might be worth a try in your case.

    Agreed. My wife would have divorced me if I bought her another 2020 Explorer after the hell we went through.

    Not a bad idea to wait. 2021 are less expensive than the 2020s, plus they will hopefully get the problems straightened out by then. Ford gave us a discount code to use towards the purchase of any new Ford. I think the discount was $1,500 and had to be used within 30 days of the buyback.

    A lease buyback should be the same as a vehicle that is financed via a loan. The trick is knowing what your state‘s lemon law(s) are, then reminding the dealer of the law(s). Here’s a link for California’s lemon law for you: https://www.dca.ca.gov/acp/pdf_files/englemn.pdf Call Ford Customer...

    Your best bet is to wait for a call back from the case manager. It may take a little while, but they’ll get back to you for the next steps. It’s out of the dealership’s hands now.

    Explorer ST Steering problems

    Glad you’re safe. I’d start here, by filing a complaint with the NHTSA: https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/VehicleComplaint/ The second step would be to meet with the general manager of your dealership and demand a buyback or a replacement vehicle. The issue with your vehicle is quite serious and...
