    '20 ST Heated Seats

    That is surprising because mine have been the hottest seats I've every had on any vehicle. In fact a reviewer on YouTube said you could roast a chicken on them. LOL I agree! You may need to get it checked out. I've had 3 Fords with heated/cooled seats: 2010 MKZ, 2013 MKZ and this ST by far works...

    Driver Seat Cold Draft

    You may want to check all the vents in the front and especially the rear HVAC system. Maybe one of them zones is messed up.

    Driver Seat Cold Draft

    Are your floor vents putting out warm air when the heat is on? By the way, you can fry bacon on those heated seats they are so hot!

    Chrome on window switches

    Hahaha! I know it caused the skin on my hands to peel last spring when I was overusing the stuff! It may have the same effect on plastic and chrome?!

    Condensation in headlamp housing.

    It happened to mine once when the vehicle was delivered to me and washed on a cold December day. Once it dried out it never happened again.

    rattle and hum....

    I have this intermittent sound from the rear. At first I thought it was the hatch or possibly the spoiler on the liftgate. Someone suggested it could be the glass roof panel. Whatever it is, it's intermittent on certain bumpy roads or speed bumps.

    What I like about my ST

    I've had rain-sensing wipers since my 2010 MKZ and I really can't imagine not having them. When I drive my work vehicle I'm annoyed having to remember to turn on the wipers. Also, once you have adaptive cruise control and get used to it, driving with standard cruise is nearly impossible! A new...

    2020 Explorer ST starting problem

    That pretty much sums up everyone's feeling on here. This is the support group for the trauma and stress of ownership woes.On the other hand, think of all the other owners who don't belong to these forums. For them, ignorance is bliss but then they can't recognize warning signs or have an...

    USB ports in center console stopped working

    I have the latest Sync update and that's it. I'm so OCD that I regularly check my oil life % and tire pressure multiple times while driving and look at FordPass readings many times a day. Not many other owners could confidently say they have in fact observed 96% oil life displayed on the IP? I...

    2020 Explorer ST starting problem

    My 11/19 build at 10,800 miles stalled and had to be towed and had fuel pump replaced.

    USB ports in center console stopped working

    It's unbelievable the number of electronic gremlins this thing has! Most are intermittent, inconsistent and frustrating to diagnose it seems. My one consistent pet peeve is every time the oil life percentage hits 96% it goes to 0% on the dashboard display and then at 95% down to 60% on down it's...

    What’s that smell?

    It will be gone in about a month or 1000 miles. This is totally normal.

    What don't you like about your ST?

    Wow that is a great deal! I can't believe that ST was at the dealer lot for a year and only driven 7 miles. Mine was built 11/19 and bought on 12/4/19 so in stock less than 3 weeks and had about 15 miles on it before I started test driving it and purchased with 42 miles on it. Congrats!

    Sport Mode - Maual Always on / available?

    That is correct! The 6 speed in my 2013 MKZ did the same thing with paddle shifters. In sport mode, it would stay in the gear selected and was in manual until you put it back in D.

    What don't you like about your ST?

    Auto high beams work very well and I always appreciate when they activate on darker roads!

    What don't you like about your ST?

    I have no complaints about my headlights. I drove a 2013 MKZ with adaptive LED projectors and I like the ST better!

    400 miles and towed

    Many Audi owners have switched to the ST so they should feel right at home!

    Anyone get frustrated with people thinking you are a cop?

    Love that architect Calatrava! Great view out!

    Touch screen stopped responding to touch

    As far as I know every time you stop and restart the vehicle, the Sync also reboots. The shortcut is to avoid stopping the engine and everything else while also moving. FYI, the ambient lighting turns off every time you hard reboot the Sync system. You have to go to settings and turn ambient...

    What don't you like about your ST?

    Actually that was the other theory on mine. I had a flat tire back in March and maybe the spare wasn't secured in the trunk after the new tire was mounted.
