    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    I sold it! I bought a nice 2020 Yukon Denali demo, made before Covid in a “normal” factory. I’m done with the ST. Multiple faults, lots of virtue-signalling from the dealer but 5 months later, nothing done. They should be ashamed putting “Ford Performance” right on the door frame on that junk...

    What ST feature do you really like/hate that has made up your mind on all future vehicle purchases?

    Yes, I made a huge mistake buying this junk. Yes, I am actively looking for a replacement and look forward to only ever seeing a dealer again for free oil changes. Doesn’t anyone else see the irony? Buying a new $70,000 vehicle, then being exhorted to buy an aftermarket add-on with an iffy...

    Reposting for visibility - Watch this Video. What is this sound?

    It’s difficult for me to define what I’m hearing in that video. I only posited that the source could be something to do with FENG, which I suspect is the source of the rumbling many of us get at cruise. Who knows where all the microphones are…? I was suspicious of the difference in sound with...

    FENG

    My dealer just told me that Ford has sent out a notice to address FENG, active noise cancelling and other loud noises associated with the ST. I’m awaiting their solution but Ford acknowledges that owners are complaining about the loud noises in the cabin and many, like me, want them shut off, so...

    Has anybody with this rattle also disabled FENG?

    Forscan

    How quiet are you finding it without FENG? Does it stop that low-freq. rumble you get when you’re cruising? Are you pleased?

    Lemon Candidate?

    Dude, this thread is about “lemon candidate.” I get it that English is not your first language. Believe me, I’m looking.

    Lemon Candidate?

    I’ve got tons of issues. “Waiting for parts.” I really hope you can get this stuff sorted. This car looks like a winner but it’s a dud. I can truthfully say that counting all the cars I’ve ever owned in my lifetime, this is the worst. I have, however, found a trick that helps, turn off as many...

    Shut down, everything stays on.

    Mine has done that twice where the lights have moved to ON from auto somehow and gives you that confusing cacophony. Maybe another Sync download?

    What ST feature do you really like/hate that has made up your mind on all future vehicle purchases?

    I’m jealous that you all have perfect examples of this thing that arrived perfect from the factory. I’m very pleased that you are all so happy with your cars. I wish this thing hadn’t turned out to be such a disappointment after my Lariat. My trunk ST symbol is applied crooked. I guess I’ll...

    What ST feature do you really like/hate that has made up your mind on all future vehicle purchases?

    The left side always bleeps red even if I back up out of a parking spot and there is nobody next to me. Driving on our “highway,” if there is a car parked on the side of the road I get that annoying “collision” thing on the screen. If I try and use the enhanced cruise control it brakes and...

    What ST feature do you really like/hate that has made up your mind on all future vehicle purchases?

    You’re right, “something is messed up with the system.” That’s why I hate the system, it’s all false warnings. My driving is just fine thanks and my F150 works just fine. I’m snarky because it is not a personal failing that causes this car to mess up and the Forscan might just fix it but it...

    What ST feature do you really like/hate that has made up your mind on all future vehicle purchases?

    So, Blown, you think it’s my fault this is a pos? I have Macs - so far I haven’t seen the cost-benefit of buying a computer, dongle and a subscription for $500 when the f’wits at Ford could do it with their computer, if they weren’t thick as two planks At my dealer.

    What ST feature do you really like/hate that has made up your mind on all future vehicle purchases?

    Love - virtually nothing. I really wish I had spent my money somewhere else. Even an old Toyota looks better now. I could love the engine but it’s attached to that pos transmission so no love. Hate - the safety nannies that don’t work. Come around a corner and the system screams “crash” at a...

    New Item: SPD cooler temp thermostat kits

    I’m with Tmac and Boost. A triumph of marketing and voodoo over logic. Does anybody really believe that a thermostat alone will give you “better performance?” One thing for sure, the heater will be 10 degrees colder in the winter… Water vapour needs heat to get it out of the engine or you start...

    Multiple Sync Problems

    I guess this is what they mean by “chip shortage” - they must put in the ones they find on the floor, or they don’t put them in at all. I just LOVE it when you start up, put it in reverse, then sit there until the screen gets around to booting…

    Sync Up Dates

    Me too Blaster! don’t bother with the update, it does nothing, apparently. At least, none of the annoying things about Sync have improved or gone away. Waste of time.

    FENG - Fake Engine Noise Generator DELETE

    I suspect that there is an amplifier that runs this abomination and with some more information (wiring diagrams, shop manual) there is a simple disconnect solution. The dealers don’t have a clue and Ford is holding all the cards close to its chest so it’s up to us to find out how this thing...

    Transmission Fluid Level Check

    That looks a lot like a crack in that casting, might want to have a closer look?
