    Oil change schedule

    I paid for unlimited oil changes and rotation and washes so I go every 4 months/4K miles.

    2021 Explorer ST Gauge Screen Flicker

    I've had more intermittent electronic glitches than I can remember in this vehicle from the beginning. Sometimes they recur regularly other times they disappear and never happens again.

    Audio Off

    This used to occur regularly when I first bought the vehicle in Dec. 2019. After several Sync updates, it doesn't happen anymore or if it does, you can just turn it on again by pushing the power button or touching the screen power button. A system reset is no longer required. Make sure you are...

    Restraint indicator lamp warning

    I've had so many electronic issues that occur a few times or only once and never again or intermittently. This is the nature of this beast!

    AC?

    I had a check engine light twice the first 4 months of ownership and it was fixed with a PCM software update and reset. After 16,000 miles it hasn't happened again.

    Noobie Explorer Owner question! Sorry

    That's what mine sounds like but since you're in a garage it is even more amplified. It is noisy and rattles when cold at higher rpm then goes down. My dealer ordered a new flex pipe under warranty to try to fix this on the driver's side. I'll let the forum know when it's installed in a few weeks.

    Key Fob questions

    Proximity sensors know the difference between being inside the vehicle or outside. Also, I believe if the fob is more than 3 feet away from the person trying to open a locked door, it will not work. Makes sense for security,

    20 ST-drivers seat clicking/rattle noise

    That you're describing is a separate problem and I have it too. The driver seat clicking comes literally from under your butt.

    ST: 6 Faults at same time - OUCH!

    Was yours intermittent or failed completely and replaced? Someone above posted once and said it went away and never posted again. Had this occurred on a weekday when the service department was open, I would've driven straight to dealer to show them the codes. I did that when I had check engine...

    ST: 6 Faults at same time - OUCH!

    This happened to me today after going through a car wash and driving home. I restarted once and had the faults again then after a second restart it never happened again. I drove about 30 miles and restarted about 3 or 4 more times after stops. Crossing my fingers on this! I have about 15,450...

    What don't you like about your ST?

    Mine has them. Is yours a 2021? Mine is 11/19 build 2020 model and has light in all 3 compartments: glove box, 2 center console compartments. Also, my cell phone doesn't allow flashlight use if under 5% power.

    Highest mileage ST

    I have 15,135 miles with a few issues like check engine light at 2,000 miles fixed with PCM update and reprogram. Fuel pump failed at 10,800 miles and left me stranded down the block from me. I had to be towed. The fuel pump was ordered and replaced in about 4 days. Most recently, exhaust rattle...

    Automatic headlights

    It's called a welcome, embrace or greeting. Most cars these days do some sort of animated logo on all the screens when you open the door or turn on the engine. My 2013 Lincoln did the same. This has been around for a while. These new fangled fancy cars these days... LMAO Yes it does waste...

    What don't you like about your ST?

    Go to owner.ford.com and check under Support-SYNC Software Updates to see which version is the latest for your VIN number. According to mine it should be Version 3.4 build 20282.

    Spy Photos - Remember When ??

    There was eagerness on both sides apparently and they totally rushed it to market before working out a lot of flaws and problems. That said this is the first time I ever saw one in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2019. I was totally impressed and wanted one so bad! In December of that...

    Rear Door Mesh Shades

    I've yet to use the "peasant blockers" (as a certain YouTube channel refers to these shades!) after 15 months of ownership.

    What don't you like about your ST?

    I guess it all depends on what you're used to. My 2013 MKZ LEDs were a huge improvement over my 2010 MKZ HIDs and this 2020 ST equals or matches the 2013's performance just minus the adaptive feature.

    Engine vibrating noise at idle

    Same here and more exhaust fumes along with the rattling. I had it checked and they ordered a new flex pipe after they saw it rattling on the lift. I have to get it installed soon. I did notice that when the temperatures recently rose about 45 degrees and up to 75 recently, the rattling was less...

    Which driving mode do you spend your time in?

    I fell in love with mine first and foremost on looks standing still it knocked me out even in the dark! Then I test drove the ST 3 times and had to get it! The Black CPO 2019 Nautilus was my second choice but paled in comparison on all counts except the cool Lincoln embrace on approach.

    Like the jodie foster movie "contact"

    My dealer ordered the driver side flex pipe which was rattling and will be replaced soon.
