    Infotainment Screen

    Today mine froze up after using the remote start feature for cold start, after sitting in driveway over 12 hours. I could not change the screen and radio was stuck on one station for about 10 minutes. I restarted 2 or 3 times still had no controls and eventually the screen went black. After...

    How to disable hands-free liftgate feature???

    At nearly 7,000 miles and 8 months of ownership, this had been an issue for me, the unwanted opening and closing, at random times. Recently, however, I noticed this is no longer happening and the sensor is not as sensitive as it had been from day one!

    Anyone else getting crazy good mpg?

    At almost 7000 miles and nearly 8 months of ownership, the best on a tankful so far was 20 MPG according to the display but my own calculation was 18.7 MPG while averaging 28 MPH of mixed driving. Yeah I'm a geek, I calculate average MPH too based on miles per trip divided by the time on the...

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

    Free trial shouldn't add commercials. It must be the specific stations you listen to. I listen to XMU, AltNation, Verge, Spectrum, Pulse and some other music stations and none ever have commercials. I know CNN and other news networks have plenty of commercials but that's because they are cable...

    Music stations do not have commercials. Talk radio stations do have commercials but I never listen to those anymore.

    WARNING !!!

    My 2013 MKZ with the panoramic roof would automatically close halfway at speeds above 50 mph but then you could re-open it all the way if you chose to. It had a huge deflector but I never drove over 90 mph with the glass roof open. The roof mechanism did start to make a loud grinding noise at 4...

    Misfire

    I had that check engine light and message on the app twice so the dealer reprogrammed and updated the PCM software and hasn't happened again in almost 3 months. Cross my fingers!

    Auto Hold Brakes

    That may be true for auto start/stop for the engine but auto-hold is a separate feature which doesn't get turned off unless you push the button. I've had my auto-hold engaged for 6 months of ownership and it works every time. Love this feature!

    Ford Performance Racing School

    Airfare, hotels and meals I'm looking at about $1500-$2000 for a 5 day trip. I'm sure it would have been fun but I'm reluctant to commit at the moment especially if the event has been scaled back. The first night reception/dinner is temporarily suspended.

    Ford Performance Racing School

    Back in January I registered for Park City 7/1-7/2 but never booked the flight and additional nights at hotel after COVID started. I'm not comfortable with the idea of flying across country right now and being in crowded airports and hotels. So I'm looking at canceling and registering for later...

    Alert Tones

    This used to happen very frequently with my 2013 MKZ and now I finally know why. With this 2020 Explorer it has only happened once or twice in 7 months or very seldom!

    What did you learn that's not in the Users Manual?

    I believe this is in fact in the owner's manual. Also, when automatic wipers are on, when you put it in reverse, the rear wiper activates which is another cool feature.

    What did you learn that's not in the Users Manual?

    That's a cool effect when you are dropping a passenger off at night! The driver won't appreciate it as much.

    Auto Hold System Fault

    I use the remote start every day with auto hold and have never seen this message during the past 6 months of ownership.

    Your ST's pet name??

    Mine could be Ironman I guess!

    There are seven different drive modes. What are the differences?

    I believe all Lincolns have the adaptive suspension with drive modes. My 2013 MKZ had that with the 2.0T and it was fun to put in Sport.

    Is everyone ok with the giant tablet and terrible bezel?

    Don't forget the massaging seats!

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

    Yeah every time the camera reads a new speed limit sign, it changes your speed to that regardless of your last setting. BTW, a few times a 35 was read as 85. Luckily I was not using cruise control!
