    Drive mode

    How long did it take to repair? It seems this is what's happening with mine. Did you have it towed or drove it to dealership?

    Error C00A6:07-68 C00A6:74-6C need help

    I had a few messages today along with drive mode not available at 41,500 miles. After a restart, the 4wd fault stayed on but the others were gone. Probably what mine needs is the module. I have an appointment tomorrow. I have a FordProtect ESP with rental car but this may be under powertrain...

    Problems with key fob global window up/down control and one touch on passenger side

    That's not how warranties work and even ESP's are good at any dealership not just where you purchased it. It's a Ford warranty not a dealership warranty. They get paid by Ford regardless! My last 2 Lincoln vehicles were purchased at different used car dealerships, one was a Lincoln dealer the...

    Problems with key fob global window up/down control and one touch on passenger side

    You have a right to take your vehicle to any Ford or Lincoln dealership anywhere in the U.S. and Canada for warranty repairs, PERIOD. I would tell them that and if they still refuse you escalate it to Ford Customer Service.

    Park brake automatically on

    I feel it move after taking my foot off the brake no matter how flat the surface is. I prefer using it. No one is forcing you to do so. My driveway has an incline so maybe it's force of habit for me at all times.

    Park brake automatically on

    If the car moves after you put in park and take your foot off the brake then I think it's your transmission taking the weight. Thus, I put the electronic brake on before taking my foot off the brake. To each his own. I've been driving for 40 years and have used automatic e-brake since 2015. It's...

    Has Anyone Else?

    In terrible D.C. traffic, I rarely average higher than 25 MPH per tankful hence why I rarely average more than 19 MPG. On pure highway driving without traffic I think I've gotten as good as 24 MPG.

    Park brake automatically on

    Not using a parking brake puts strain on the transmission when in Park. So I'd rather use the brake than stress an already poorly shifting and unreliable transmission. I had mine rebuilt at 25K miles due to harsh shifts between 6-7th gear. Mine is bone stock and I rarely gun it or drive very...

    Has Anyone Else?

    In cold weather and on a hill it's a really bad thing!

    Anyone else find the GPS worthless?

    Just don't update Sync to 22251 then you'll see all kinds of problems with your screen including half a map on the portrait style screen and no nav history or favorites. The update will fill up your memory folder and your settings will go back to default and won't stay next time you start up...

    Black and blue screen for camera all the time

    The map is a software issue that affects many other Sync 3 functions. Settings revert to default, navigation history is empty, preset pages for Sirius revert to 2 instead of 5, etc. I'm so annoyed with it. My map displays only the bottom half and about once a week or less the map reappears...

    Has Anyone Else?

    I've been stuck twice in cold weather when letting the tank go below 60 miles to empty. The car literally stalled on an incline and wouldn't restart. The first time it burned the fuel pump and had to be replaced. The second time it took a tow truck driver bringing 3 gallons to my driveway in 10...

    New Feature?

    This is why you read the owner's manual or watch Ford Owner's YouTube channel. All kinds of features you paid for and didn't know you had.

    Rattling noise coming from underneath new Explorer ST!

    There's a recall for catalytic converters and flex pipes which rattle and also cause fumes.

    Can't decide, ST or Platinum?

    Hate to break it to you but the engine sound in Sport Mode is piped in through the sound speakers inside aka fake engine noise. So outside it still sounds like a minivan! LOL
