    Steering Wheel Slack

    Just picked up my ST from Ford to do some transfer case work. I noticed slight slack (about 1/4 inch) in the steering wheel while driving and when the vehicle is turned off. Can't remember if this was present before but it was one of the first things I noticed after picking it up. Is this slack...

    Battery Replacement

    Looks like there may be other electrical issues per the call with Ford today. Aside from that, need to get parts in for the transfer case that I have been waiting three months for. PITA.....

    Battery Replacement

    Who all out here has had their first factory battery replaced? Mine crapped out on my 2020 with 40k miles and Ford is charging me a ridiculous amount of $345. Also, front driver side window won't roll down after the jump to get it over to the service dept. Anyone experience weird electrical...

    Rough Idle When A/C On

    AC issue is back again causing engine to stumble at a complete stop. Issue goes away when in park, neutral and when AC button is turned off. Having Ford look into it once I take it back in to get my transfer case repaired. This SUV has had more problems than any other vehicle I have ever owned.

    Wipers skip on windshield

    A little WD40 on the blades helps as well and doesn't leave streaks.

    Shaking and vibration while braking at high speed

    Correct, I mentioned that "If the vibration is present constantly at highway speed" then it could be one of those issues. Constantly meaning while driving and just not braking. The belt separation on my tire got worse and more noticeable after several days of driving. Went from a slight...

    Shaking and vibration while braking at high speed

    Could be a number of thing from a warped rotor(s), out of balance, bent wheel, belt separation on tire(s), noise reduction foam in tire(s) becoming loose. If the vibration is present when braking, then it is most likely a warped rotor. Get them resurfaced rather than replacing if you can. If the...

    ST: 6 Faults at same time - OUCH!

    Took mine in for these codes and had something to do with the transfer case and its components, which are being replaced once the parts come in.

    Rough Idle When A/C On

    RPM's would drop and recover and engine would stumble. Haven't really noticed it lately so not concerned anymore.

    Rough Idle When A/C On

    Issue comes and goes. Of course, dealership/service dept said they couldn't find anything wrong.

    After Camera Recall

    Regarding the possessed tailgate. Do yourself a favor and disconnect the foot motion sensor. I had the exact same issue, which the dealership could not replicate. I called out their BS and they in turn had no reasonable explanation/fix. Went to another dealership, same experience. There is a...

    Tire Balance Problems with Pirelli Scorpion's (275/45/21)

    Could be a tire belt shifting/separating as well. Happened to me at the 34k mark.

    Any ideas what the problem could be for this light to come on?

    Had the dealership clear it for me and hasn't came back since after noticing it a few times. Said it was a software update error of sorts and nothing to be concerned of.

    Steering off Center!?! Multiple Wheel Alignments CAN'T Correct!

    I just got all new tires with an alignment and the steering wheel is now off center and veers to the left when centered. Taking it back to the dealer for the third time in two weeks now for unrelated issues. This thing is most problematic vehicle I have ever owned.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Taking mine in for a leaking CV boot. So they replaced the entire axle?

    CV Joint Leak

    Let me know what the fix is and what they charge you. I'm hoping that it is just the boot needing to be replaced and no other damage has been done.
