    Engine replaced at less than 20k miles

    I originally took it in back in December for a bad smell from the exhaust on a cold start. They had already replaced the cats under a recall so they started looking into the cam phasers as the cause. They couldn’t get them out as they were seized which led to a new engine. I never noticed the...

    Engine replaced at less than 20k miles

    So I still have not gotten my ST back and really starting to miss it lol. I've been without it for about three months but happy that Ford and the dealer are doing the right thing. For now, the Edge loaner is filling the gap. Last I heard the short block had to be replaced or rebuilt but now...

    Engine replaced at less than 20k miles

    I should be getting mine back tomorrow. Not 100% sure what happened with the new engine damage wise but they said there was barely any oil in the engine. I’m guessing they never filled it with enough oil or it all leaked out while driving. I did see a small puddle of oil in my driveway but def...

    Engine replaced at less than 20k miles

    I just ran the codes and got the following. Also just noticed a leak underneath - looks like oil or transmission fluid. Dipstick showed a low level so could be oil. P0345 - Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Bank 2 P0390 - Camshaft Position Sensor B Circuit Bank 2 P0349 - Camshaft Position...

    Engine replaced at less than 20k miles

    Well..it seems it has to go back to dealer. After backing out the driveway and shifting into Drive, not even 20 ft in, it started vibrating vigorously and would not switch gears. I pulled over, shut it off for a bit and turned it back on but same issue. Vibrates excessively when shifting to R or...

    2025 Explorer Teaser Ahead of Tomorrow's Reveal

    I would definitely consider a trade in for the 2025. I have a 2020 now with less than 20k miles so plenty of life left plus it just got a new engine so who knows.

    Engine replaced at less than 20k miles

    So I spoke to the service department today and they recommend going through 2-3 tanks of gas and see if problem persists. They also said I should use a different gas or gas station as my gas had looked “dirty”. Not sure what that’s about but they suggested BP as an alternative. Still love the...

    Engine replaced at less than 20k miles

    Wow, ain't that something but it's nice when the right thing is done. All in all, I really like the ST and I am glad Ford allowed the engine replacement. Unfortunately, I just did a cold start and the rotten smell is still there so will need to call the dealership tomorrow. I am thinking they...

    Engine replaced at less than 20k miles

    I have had my ST since September 2019 and for the most part I would say it has been problem free. The only issues I really had were a stuck window switch which was replaced, a cracked cat converter which was replaced under a recall and driver heated seat stopped working in which heating element...

    ZFG DMS

    I’ve seen some folks do stock + on Eco, DD on normal and race on sport. This may be what I go with if I ever get around to a tune.

    Window Not Working - 2022

    I had the same issue and the dealer replaced the passenger switch. The motor was basically staying stuck in the open position and getting very hot. When I took it in and as soon as I told them about the issue, the service advisor next to the one I was working with was shaking his head almost as...
