    How many miles did you put on your original breaks?

    126,500km (aka 78,000ish miles) and I’m still on the originals. Last report was I still had 4 or 5mm left, which was an oddly long time ago but no squealers squealing or grinding yet, so…eternity brakes?

    2023 Explorer ST Exhaust stutters on Startup

    Stock 2020, has been doing it all along. Only seems to do it on a cold start. Goes away in a short time. I run 87 octane, not sure if it’s possibly adjusting ignition timing to compensate for the lower octane. 120,000km and no problems so far.

    After putting in gas car hesitates to start

    Out of curiosity, where was it on the car and how long did it take to do? That 1-2 hour quote from the tech left me scratching my head lol

    After putting in gas car hesitates to start

    My old 2009 Pontiac G8 had the same problem, and it was the evap purge valve. Cheap part, 10 min fix with some light swearing. Not sure where it is on these Fords but the problem sounds eerily similar, so I would agree with the guy above who mentioned it

    Backup Brake Assist

    Like I said, to each their own

    Backup Brake Assist

    To each their own. I drove for 19 years without so much as a scrape before my car was built so I don’t feel the need for them myself. In tight parking lots all the warning alarms were just irritating.

    Backup Brake Assist

    I have never been able to turn it off permanently but turning off the parking sensors (button beside the button for the hazard lights) is an easy way to turn off the reverse brake assist. Have to do it every time you start the car but it’s one button easy. Also disables the annoying parking...

    I do not want to be the one to test.

    One benefit to the funky shifter that no longer has a physical connection to the transmission - the electronics step in and protect us from our mistakes lol. Doesn’t stop you from accidentally throwing it into park instead of reverse when you’re going to back into a parking space or doing a 3...

    Sounds

    This is the noisiest car I’ve ever experienced in terms of all the clicking and clacking and clonking and vvzzzzzing etc.; after three years I’ve learned to ignore it. Noises for gear selecting, I’ve once or twice heard noises that I THINK were from the transfer case. Solenoids and actuators...

    Transmission Fluid Change - Should I or wait?

    Mine was replaced at about 21000km (13,000ish mi) because the pan gasket was leaking; then I replaced all driveline fluids at about 50,000km (31,000ish mi), then again at 108,000km (67,000ish mi), so far no problems with any of the driveline housings. No harm in replacing fluids early/often - I...

    Gas mileage

    I ballpark right around the 20mpg mark doing probably 80% highway driving with occasional asshole-ish driving tendencies. 87 octane.

    Just took home a 2020 ST Street Pack with 36K miles. Anything to check?

    Out of curiosity, which CV axle leaked for you? My left front just got replaced for that very issue, out of warranty unfortunately.

    Brake Fluid Reservoir - Pedal Feel Changed

    I concur with that sentiment, but I also would like to add it would be wise to have the car towed if the brakes are at all in question.

    Brake Fluid Reservoir - Pedal Feel Changed

    The fact that the fluid was low with recent new brakes leaves me suspecting a leak.

    '22 ST drivetrain ?

    Some people have had defective half shafts as well. I was one of them.

    Window close issues

    Same thing that causes any of the other known electronic glitches on these cars…gremlins lol.

    Error C00A6:07-68 C00A6:74-6C need help

    Mine was, but I can’t swear yours will be. Some people have been covered, others have not.

    Drive mode

    I drove it. It drove fine, just no drive modes, I think no 4x4 at all, no stability control, etc.; and it was in and out in a day, just a module replacement. Probably an hour’s total work for the tech I imagine
