    Has Anyone Had This Speed Sign Error Message Before?

    I don't know where it's located, but the speed sign reader is a camera, and the windshield would seem to be the right place for it. I know the other cameras and sensors can be pit our of service by rain, condensation, dirt etc.

    ST Model Noises

    As a "for instance", the radiator has louvers that open and close to control cooling airflow. They work even after you shut down, opening, if they were closed, as the engine cools down.

    ST SUV Experience

    We had booked a second night. They issued us a reimbursement with no problem. We'll re book a second night when we do go.

    ST SUV Experience

    I was booked for Asheville last week and it was cancelled. North Carolina is still closed down. I'm going to wait a while before I book again.

    Low oil level @ 3,000 miles

    The guy who designed that dipstick has never checked the oil in his own car, ever

    VTA mod, am I the first?

    I have a lot of good reasons for buying it. I've loved cars, especially hot ones, for years. I've owned a Corvette, a 396 Camaro, a Jaguar and a couple of Hemi Jeep Grand Cherokees. I spend years driving a Dodge Hemi powered Police car. It's just that trying to explain that to a lot of people...

    VTA mod, am I the first?

    "Just because" is the reason I usually give for buying my ST.

    Remote Start + garage door

    I'm pretty sure the remote start and garage door opener are on completely different frequencies, so probably not. But, I simply took a garage door remote and mounted it to the wall in my kitchen. I can open, and close, the garage door from inside the house.

    What did you learn that's not in the Users Manual?

    I tried looking things up in the manual after I discovered them. I finally gave up. Either's not in there, or it's different in real life. Two months now and I'm still finding new things.

    Liftgate keeps closing

    It both opens and closes the tailgate. At least it's supposed to.

    Liftgate keeps closing

    Somewhere in the on screen programming there's a choice to turn it off.

    Lift gate and LKA not working

    Just a thought, in case you didn't try it: The tailgate switch can turned off in the on sceen programming, and the LKA needs other options turned on in order to work. In particular, LKA seems more complicated than necessary.

    1000 mile oil change.

    In the late 60's and early 70's I had a job that issued me a Dodge Police car with the 440 Hemi engine. They were driven hard from the first day and had the oil changed every couple of thousand miles. We never had a bit of engine trouble with them.

    1000 mile oil change.

    I just had the oil changed for the first time at a little over 1000 miles. I was thinking about doing it myself but mine came with free service so I let the dealer do it. The service manager understood about a 1000 mile oil change, but the guy doing the work looked at me strange. Maybe I'm too...

    Which ST SUV Experience location did you sign up for?

    There should be an explanation of the Ford ST Experience on the window sticker.

    What would you have purchased if there were no Explorer ST?

    I considered the Grand Cherokee Hemi, I've owned a few in the past, but need three rows now. I looked at the Cadillac XT-6, but just wasn't impressed with it. I drove, and liked, the Lincoln Aviator, but discovered the ST was almost identical and gave me a lot more bang for the buck.

    How to stop Speed Limit icon from blinking

    Mine doesn't give me access to shut it off, but this morning it stopped flashing all by itself.

    Buyback Data

    I don't know what the "safe" build date is. However, from everything I've seen the problems start immediately or not at all. Good luck.

    Has anyone downloaded any system updates over wifi yet?

    I just tried to update mine. It spun aimlessly for 5 minutes and then told me it was current. The "as of" date changed so I have to believe it did something.

    Clicking/Clunking under driver side floor

    I have a 14 year old Wrangler that I can still work on myself. Anything newer I open the hood and just stare.
