    What don't you like about your ST?

    I have a hunch my creaky squeaky noise is from the cargo area floor cover shifting in place. Because after I have opened that compartment under the floor, the rattle noise seems to go away until it's shifted again.

    What don't you like about your ST?

    If a CPO ST were close to low 40K then it would be a sweet deal with less than 15,000 miles. Honestly haven't looked but that's how I would shop Lincolns, 1-2 year old, low miles.

    What don't you like about your ST?

    Certified Preowned, low-miles vehicle would've been a sweet deal on an ST if it were available to me.

    What don't you like about your ST?

    It's worth a look at 2021 but others on here have said the deals on 2020's are too good right now to ignore! A year ago I didn't have that option. In early December 2019, I got 8,000 off MSRP but no 0% financing deals available then. COVID-19 changed that as well, a mere 3 months later.

    What don't you like about your ST?

    Like many reviewers have said, Ford has built their own version of a BMW X5 for tens of thousands less! At least in the way it drives, it matches much more expensive European sporty SUVs.

    What don't you like about your ST?

    Many others complained about about rear door panel noises and dash noises especially in extreme heat. Maybe if yours was built in 2020, they resolved some manufacturing issues. Or maybe the sound from your aftermarket exhaust covers up other minor noises!

    What don't you like about your ST?

    Agreed and this is my first ever SUV after many years of sport/luxury sedans. I feel like this has the perfect balance of luxury, looks and performance. It excites me on a daily basis. It is my daily relief and oasis from COVID fatigue!

    What don't you like about your ST?

    Ford went really cheap on the interior build quality. It looks great though and the seats are extremely comfortable. Also, despite other people's warranty repairs here due to leather tears and premature wear on the driver's seat, my fat ass has no complaints with the driver's seat. It looks...

    What don't you like about your ST?

    The creaks, squeaks and rattles in the interior, which are mostly temperature sensitive due to presumably cheap, lightweight plastics and other materials. The liftgate in general bothers me: the way it opens when you walk by and doesn't open on first try with foot sensor, it makes creaking and...

    New guy, 2020 vs 2021?

    In the past, Ford does Sync version updates with mid-cycle refresh.

    Anyone else getting crazy good mpg?

    Mine is really about 1.5-2 MPG less than what the gauge shows (18.7 MPG) at my fill up calculation. I usually average 25-28 MPH so less highway more city driving.

    Headlamp Switch Changes Position

    I guess I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with this issue! I thought I was losing my mind. LOL

    Name ONE ST Feature others might not know.....

    I've been known to put take out food in the passenger seat and turn the heater on to keep it warmer?! LOL I do love the fact that I don't have to turn the heater/cooler on every time I start. My last 2 Lincolns, 2010 MKZ and 2013 MKZ were so annoying when they turned them off every time you...

    Name ONE ST Feature others might not know.....

    No one was in the passenger seat at the time. But HVAC was in dual mode. My remote start settings are in auto mode not last setting. You are correct about the seat sensor which not only turns airbag off when seat is empty but also doesn't allow you to turn on the massage when no one is sitting...

    Name ONE ST Feature others might not know.....

    When HVAC is in DUAL temperature mode both front seats' heat/cool function turn on automatically when you remote start the vehicle. I discovered this today!

    Name ONE ST Feature others might not know.....

    When you put it in neutral, like in the carwash, a message pops up saying to press the Manual button to keep it in neutral.

    Anyone get frustrated with people thinking you are a cop?

    This is my first red vehicle and someone recently told me when you drive a red car people try to pass you and cut you off a lot. Not sure if this is true.

    20 ST-drivers seat clicking/rattle noise

    To me it sounds more like plastic than metal like a tick tick sound. It happens at high speeds cornering on entry/exit ramps or making a fast turn. You can feel it in your butt too.

    Headlamp Switch Changes Position

    My build date is 11/19. I have the Sync 3 up to date and also the PCM was updated back in April for check engine light. The BCM or other software hasn't been updated.

    5 Months in...a few issues

    Like someone said it's like having dial-up internet back in the 1990s! LOL My 2013 MKZ had some of these issues too, where you literally had to push a button a second time for it to act like it's been asleep or something. On this vehicle the steering wheel buttons do the same thing and so does...
