    Driver seat clicking noise and loose leather

    My dealer replaced the leather seat cover and one of the massaging air bladders. It doesn’t click anymore and feel a lot more solid.

    Warning chime tone change

    I’ve tried to update the sync system but it will not update in the background like it’s supposed to. It also will not pick up where it left off either. I’m going to address this issue on my next service visit.

    Warning chime tone change

    My car is going in probably week for something else and they’re going to look at it. Found another thread online about this issue and it could be related to the BCM connection. I have some other electrical gremlins and this could be the fix . I will update!

    Warning chime tone change

    Recently I’ve experienced changes in the way the warning chimes sound. I noticed it right away while backing up and it also does it with the initial startup beeps. It sounds like it’s coming through a crappy speaker behind the dash. Usually it comes through the main speakers.

    2021 Explorer ST Gauge Screen Flicker

    Do you know which tests your dealer did? Preliminarily my dealer stated that they believe it is a normal condition but will be looking into it and checking for bulletins. I sent them a slo-mo video because I'm sure it will not flicker when they're looking at it.

    2021 Explorer ST Gauge Screen Flicker

Others have stated that they think its heat related, but its 30 degrees out now and still does it but its cloudy/rainy...

    Gas splash back when refueling?

    Just got my ST back from the dealer after a week for this issue. After replacing the tank and filler neck with no improvement, it was determined that the hose connecting the filler neck to the tank was damaged due to overspray from the Ziebart undercoating! Because the undercoating is applied...

    My tailgate is possessed. I need a priest.

    YES! This keeps happening to me on my 2021 ST. Randomly when I open the rear driver door the liftgate opens/closes (if already open). Its super frustrating and concerning. The shop foreman at my dealer has been in contact with Ford regarding this issue. You and I aren't the only ones...

    Driver seat clicking noise and loose leather

    Hello, I've had my 2021 ST since July 2021 and have been dealing with a click in the seat when I use the massaging seats. Its definitely happening on the lower seat cushion and you can feel it click under your butt. Feels and sounds like a broken piece of plastic. The same sensation can be...

    Gas splash back when refueling?

    I have not experienced any splash back on by 2021 ST but I do have to hold the trigger half way to avoid it shutting the pump off repeatedly. The shop foreman believes it is the "rollover flap" not opening fully inside the tank cashing gas to back up the filler neck. He ordered a new gas tank...

    Hard shifts

    Update: The dealer performed SSM49582 and immediately I could tell that is was way smoother. The lurching during downshifts is still there but not as bad. The loaner car I was given (2021 Explorer XLT) operated the exact same way. So I'm certain this is just how they are.

    Hard shifts

    I ended up cancelling my original appointment with the dealer because I wanted to put some more miles on it to see if it went away. Well I am now just over 3000 miles and the problems are still there. Its going in for service this week and will update when I get some answers!

    Power tailgate/liftgate issue

    Hello, I've had my Explorer ST for about a month now and my power tailgate has developed a mind of its own. What happens is randomly when I open the driver side rear door the liftgate will open or close if its already open. This has happened on several occasions. Even this morning I walked...

    Hard shifts

    I took delivery of my 2021 Explorer ST on 7/6/21 and now have about 1200 miles on it. Within a few days after delivery I noticed that from a stop the transmission will shift harder from 1st gear into 2nd gear, but smooth with all other gears. It also will shift harder while downshifting during...
