Anyone else noticed the Explorer ST will stop the engine after idling for 30 minutes?

I was dropping my daughter off at piano lessons and decided to leave the engine running while listening to music. After about 30 minutes the car turns itself off.

Think you can disable that. Its on the Sync vehicle settings.

From what I heard its a safety feature in case someone forgets and leave their car running in the garage.

I don’t think you can disable it, let us know if you can.

I just went through the settings and couldn't find it. Can you post a step by step?

It in the settings.. I'd post but my ST is in the shop since last Friday.

What’s wrong with it?

Some electrical system issue. Been at dealership for 7 of my 19 days I've owned it.

Got my ST back yesterday. Ended up being a loose pin in connector under passenger seat.

And that pin disabled your entire vehicle to the point where it wouldn’t even start?

My 2018 Audi Q7 did this too. New normal for modern cars I guess.
