    New Sync 3 Version 3.4.22251

    Ford has put that size screen in literally every other model but Explorer.......Edge is finished production in 2024 and its had that size screen for years.....absolute BS.

    Active Braking is DANGEROUS!

    Kinda like the Raptors or Mustangs being stolen from the Ford holding lots?

    Active Braking is DANGEROUS!

    Everyone here knows you can turn the feature off, thats not at all the issue. Why do I want to reduce my safety, I just want it to work as described and it doesn't. The issue is poor engineering, failure to refine the feature so it's actually useful. I drive a host of different vehicles daily...

    Active Braking is DANGEROUS!

    The worst one is the reverse active braking, backing up into driveway it sees a pole in the distance that Im nowhere close to impacting and slams the brakes on which feels almost the same as impacting the pole. Scared the *&^% out of me. Very poor engineering in my humble opinion.

    New Sync 3 Version 3.4.22251

    We need to have the Circus theme song queued up for every time SYNC3 gets updated........what a clown show.

    Ford Performance Tune

    I have had mine for several months now, in my opinion it's worth it just for shifting improvements, not just the power upgrades. It just drives better overall. Shop around there are deals out there, don't pay full retail.

    New Sync 3 Version 3.4.22251

    Apparently there is a new version v23088 out but the website wont allow anyone to download it. My ST says I have v22251 in the vehicle and the website says says my vehicle has v23088. Called SYNC Support they are aware its an issue Try an update in vehicle OTA it says your Up To Date...

    Updating SYNC in the ST (Wireless)

    Nobody on any of the forums that I watch has ever seen a publically released new version change doc

    Updating SYNC in the ST (Wireless)

    I feel your pain, it's the one thing that makes me crazy because I love the ST looks, power, and handling. How they could screw up a multimedia system so badly is beyond comprehension. Through some contacts I have had the opportunity to provide feedback to people at Ford who are involved in the...

    Back from ceramic coating

    Ceramic coatings are the best by far, the appearance and protection benefits are unbeatable......BUT!......IMHO I would do some online research. I would watch some of the online You-Tube professionals like "PAN the Organizer" in Montreal. The products the pros use are now available to the...

    No heated steering wheels

    I reached out to some people in the know at CAP and they had not heard anything about heated steering wheel delete.

    No heated steering wheels

    If they start building the refreshed 24MY in September why not wait, the 23MY is kind dead man walking at this point.

    Tune with a surprise

    Yes it drives me nuts, I thought I could get used to it but its still annoying after having the tune in for months. Applying the parking brake on flat ground is ridiculous, especially in rainy weather because if its overnight the "Bang" when you release it is startling to say the least. Another...

    Is everyone ok with the giant tablet and terrible bezel?

    Two SYNC updates over the past few months, nobody can see or feel a single difference or improvement......SYNC2/3/4 is the most poorly executed multimedia system in the industry. The fact that I have a 10" screen in front of me and they display a 2" RVC view is beyond ridiculous. On start up you...

    Unexpected infotainment reboot

    Another feature of the SYNC2/3/4 system that keeps it continually rated by customers as the least reliable multimedia software from any of the big three. Go use MyLink or CUE or U-Connect then compare to any SYNC product. Its actually embarrassing how poorly engineered the product is.

    Interceptor brake lights

    So I made some inquiries and I was incorrect, the rapid flash rear brake light functionality is offered by the OEM. This functionality would be programmed into the controller and the the PIU would be the arbitrator of the lighting functionality. So perhaps the ForScan suggestion was...

    Interceptor brake lights

    That isn't an OEM feature if you have seen it on a PIU its an aftermarket add on. My understanding from the Police Program Ford Engineers is that FMVSS rules dont allow Ford to sell it with that feature. I will make some inquiries

    2024 Ford Explorer Interior Spotted for the First Time

    Spokes on black ones look straight as opposed to the brushed aluminum ones that have a bend in the spoke.

    2024 Ford Explorer Interior Spotted for the First Time

    Dont be concerned about the wheels, those are wheels from previous years. One thing I found out in talking with various Engineers on the vehicle programs they love playing games with the spy photo takers.They actually have a blast doing it so much so it becomes a competition. Like trying to put...

    TSB 22-2485 - 2020-2022 Explorer + Other Models - Wireless Accessory Charger Inoperative/Poor Performance With Magsafe Charging iPhones

    That doesn't surprise me anymore, everytime there is a TSB or SSM the dealer tells me they never heard of it and its not coming up when they run my VIN so they won't do it. Ford is brutal for this kind of communication to its dealer network.
