    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    It's barely noticeable on mine and I always set the ebrake. It's better for the transmission and this 10 speed needs to be treated gently as it's not very robust. I've had mine rebuilt at 25K miles.

    Back-up Camera Issues

    What they're supposed to do, whether recalled or not, for blue screen rear camera, is to update the ICM software and if that doesn't work, which it didn't for me, replace the rear camera. It has been about 8 months and the camera is working fine.

    Badge replacement

    Isn't it something the dealer should fix for you free??? I would just say it fell off if it were mine.

    Black Infotainment Screen

    FYI I was having a lot of Sync and Navigation problems last year and late last summer I had to do a factory reset. I later found out that I had breadcrumbs enabled in the Nav settings and that really slowed everything down. This makes sense because the system is constantly working to drop a...

    This is just sad but someone on the thread I posted above said the part was redesigned so we'll see.

    That's good to know! I plan to have mine replaced under warranty at my next oil change soon.

    They significantly changed the seat design in the back and underneath and side panel for 2021 and in another thread there was mention of a new part number for the replacement. (918) Driver Lower Seat Panel - Outboard Side | Page 3 | Explorer ST Forum

    Driver Lower Seat Panel - Outboard Side

    Does anyone know if they have to remove the seat to install the broken part or can it just be replaced while the seat is still mounted?

    Driver Lower Seat Panel - Outboard Side

    Mine is still under warranty. Yours isn't?

    Intelligent Cruise Control not functioning

    Try pushing the button to re-engage lane-centering. Like the previous poster's pic shows. That button probably has been reset to off position and needs to be turned on again. If it doesn't reappear then turn green when lock-in at speed then something is wrong.

    Best Fuel?

    The most I paid this year was 4.99 and yesterday I paid 3.98. I still always get 87 octane.

    Back-up Camera Issues

    How petty for them to take a few dollars from the customer. Either cover it or don't!

    Transmission Grinding?

    It's probably a version of the same 10-speed transmission we have!

    Transmission Grinding?

    It is pretty obvious Ford has used lower grade materials for many components in this new design. They are not as durable as the previous generation. Just look at the interior plastics that get wear and tear and you'll see what I mean. Hold a Tupperware or Rubbermaid container next to it for...

    Driver Lower Seat Panel - Outboard Side

    Mine just broke a few days ago for the first time. I will have to have it replaced soon under warranty. I'm at 30,500 miles and almost 3 years of ownership.

    Moonroof wind deflector pics

    For 20 years I've had 4 vehicles with sunroofs. All except one were problem free. My 2013 MKZ had the big panaromic one piece glass roof and after 4 years started making a grinding noise. The dealership sent it to a specialist shop and it took 42 days for it to be diagnosed and repaired under...

    Real world mpg

    The more city driving you do, the more optimistic it is. The more highway driving the closer the estimate seems to be to reality. This has been my experience.

    Rattle Diagnosed: Not what you think ...

    Yep I've given up on the idea of fixing any random rattles and squeaks after almost 3 years of ownership. If something breaks I get it fixed.

    Back-up Camera Issues

    Back in March, my dealer flat out said if the software update doesn't solve the problem they will order me a new rear camera. So far for the past 4-5 months that seems to have been the solution, a new camera and updated software.

    Back-up Camera Issues

    It rarely goes blue anymore or get the message and if it happens it's only for 2 seconds. It has been almost 5 months for me since the camera was replaced.
