    Apple Carplay Issues

    Still no luck after doing all of this. Looks like a trip to the dealership is in order for the fourth time in three months.

    Apple Carplay Issues

    Unfortunately, I tried all of that to no avail.

    Apple Carplay Issues

    This may have already been addressed in another thread.... I recently noticed that my phone will not sync with Apple carplay. I've never had this issue before and carplay always automatically synced whenever I plugged my phone into the USB port. I checked to make sure that my phone was still set...

    2020 Explorer ST Humming/Rattle When Accelerating

    Hoping that Ford corrected the cat issue with a new/modified part so it won't happen again.

    2020 Explorer ST Humming/Rattle When Accelerating

    Got my ST back from the dealership today to replace the cats on an open recall. The humming/rattling noise must have came from the cracked cats. Haven't heard the noise since I drove it off the lot this morning.

    Oil Leak!!!

    Oil leak ended up being spillage from the last oil change....

    Good thing for warranties if this is the case...

    Oil Leak!!!

    Checked the level again this morning and it's still good. Hoping it's just spillage and not the oil pan or the hub actuator. This video below from a hub actuator leak looks like a pain in the ass to fix.

    Oil Leak!!!

    I have not. They did an oil change prior to me picking it up form the dealer and Ford confirmed. I checked the oil and it looks good and at the right level. I'm hoping that it may have been residual spillage when changing the oil and will know more on Monday when I take it into the dealer.

    Oil Leak!!!

    Still a shame though. I've never had this many issues with any of the six vehicles I've owned before. Never had a single issue with my 2015 Audi S5 but can't say the same for anything BMW related.

    Oil Leak!!!

    Scheduled for next Monday. Along with this, open recall on catalytic converter, hard shifting transmission, rattle from wastegate and possible engine knock.... Already contacted Ford directly and they are sending out a tech to the dealership too. Pretty pathetic for a 2020 with only 20k miles...

    Oil Leak!!!

    I recently noticed that my skidplate/splash guard underneath the engine is saturated in oil on my 2020 ST. Has anyone had this issue? I have seen examples where the hub actuator seal has gone bad and to replace it is a nightmare. Bought the car less than six months ago from the Ford dealership!!!!

    Small but subtle mod

    Do they just overlay the existing plastic or do you have to remove the factory installed? Let us know how they hold up over time.

    Tune After Borla Cat Back Exhaust/21E11 Recall?

    Can the existing factory installed flex pipes and mid pipe be used with the Borla exhaust? I assume so but want to make sure before I make the purchase. Also, is the Borla exhaust the side pipe diameter as the factory installed exhaust? Just looking for improved exhaust note at this point.

    Tune After Borla Cat Back Exhaust/21E11 Recall?

    Does the Borla exhaust replace the flex pipes or is it installed behind the flex pipes?

    2020 Explorer ST Humming/Rattle When Accelerating

    I'm thinking it might be a lose component on the waste gate and Ford may be brushing off the issue or just not looking at it since it's under warranty and probably won't touch it until complete failure. I don't think it's the turbo since I'm not losing any power, no oil burning off, etc. Then...

    2020 Explorer ST Humming/Rattle When Accelerating

    The noise still persists and two Ford dealerships said it was normal, which I still don't buy. I'm going to take it to a performance shop to see what they think. The noise I hear is when accelerating, not when letting off the gas. You might be noticing the turbo blow off. The noise I notice is a...

    Tune After Borla Cat Back Exhaust/21E11 Recall?

    Appreciate the response. Do you have yours connected to the stock cats? If so, any issues with them failing or heard of any issues after an aftermarket exhaust is installed?
