    Sounds like knocking or miss firing at cold start. Anyone else have this occur?

    Well, shes been to the dealer. They dropped the exhaust and the down pipes, checked for oil. Nothing. They found nothing. They said the "smoke" was moisture, and unburnt fuel. The subtle knocking at startup was told is normal for this vehicle. They found no problems. Ive never found oily...

    Sounds like knocking or miss firing at cold start. Anyone else have this occur?

    Greetings all. I have a 24 ST just a little over 5000 miles. Built January 2024. Was a dealer demo had 3400 miles on it when I got it in April. Every time I do a cold start, if its been sitting over night or even just a few hours, I hear what sounds like misfiring or maybe knocking is a better...

    Maps only shows on half screen or not at all

    I just got a notice today to bring in the 23 explorer that I traded in for my 24 ST. Select explorers from 2018-2024 need an update to the sync system. Call your dealer. My new ST does not need the fix. But the 23XLT I had does need the updated version of SYNC. Might be needed on your vehicle?

    Firearm placement for driver

    To those of you claiming rich people dont pay taxes and that is the cause of crime... Are you possibly over looking the Democrat Party and the media's push to defund and vilify police officers and departments all over the USA for the last 4 years? The governments all over the country will not do...

    I Love my ST !

    Greetings all, I have a 2024 ST. I got on here when I first bought it because I was very disappointed in some issues with things that were not taken care of. Things that quality control missed at the factory. Since that time, those things have been taken care off and Ive had it since April and...

    Firearm placement for driver

    Chicago land here. In the spring summer, I carry a compact 9mm with 12 hollow points in a sneaky Pete holster on the front/side of my belt. Looks like something you would carry a cell phone in..... Its right there out in the open with a magnetized flap and the gun is right there inside. Seat...

    Ford's Plan for Fixing Quality - CEO Reponds

    Hey Bud, I didn't realize I was "Spewing Vitriol" ? I thought I was relaying my experiences with FORD and FORD Dealers and FORD Products and their quality issues I have experienced over the last 11 months. Never owned a Ford before. "Spewing Vitriol" ?

    Ford's Plan for Fixing Quality - CEO Reponds

    CoHPhasor No I dont feel personally attacked. I can see your point about the dealers plight. However, as a customer buying a ridiculously expensive product, Dealers issues with FORD and selling cars are not my problem. Or at least they should not be. I want a good quality product. I dont give a...

    Ford's Plan for Fixing Quality - CEO Reponds

    I wish I had hit the lottery with the two I have owned in the past 11 months. Im a new FORD owner and this stuff is crazy. My dealer just gets them off the truck and puts them on the lot. They apparently check nothing. When I buy a new car. The only thing I want to take it back for is the 5000...

    Ford's Plan for Fixing Quality - CEO Reponds

    CoHPhasor My comment angered you? lol My ST was a demo had just under 3000 miles on it. So it was driven around 3000 miles with over inflated tires. Not good for the tires. And the rides way too stiff. They dont check the tire pressure at my dealer. They dont check or look for quality flaws. I...

    Ford's Plan for Fixing Quality - CEO Reponds

    Apparently, they ship them from the factory with tire pressures in the 40's to prevent flat spots while they sit around. The fact that the dealer does not even check the pressure and lower it to 33 before selling it or after the sale is just emblematic of how things are done. Or not done. Mine...

    Ford's Plan for Fixing Quality - CEO Reponds

    There are issues with quality control at the Chicago factory. And there are issues at some Ford dealers who receive the Explorers from the Chicago factory. Vehicles with exterior and interior obvious flaws leave the factory arrive at the dealers and the dealer Ive delt with just puts them on the...

    My ST feels like it's in Eco mode when I step on the gas

    I Had an XLT and there was always a delay in normal mode. My ST... one of the things I like about it is in normal or eco, its a normal Explorer, unless you mass down on the gas. Then it will move out..... Otherwise it drives like an Explorer you dont want to be stuck behind. I like that. In...

    Happy Memorial Day (Early)

    @ SETXExpSTGuy Seems like many Americans pay little attention to or have much knowledge of our country's history. People are always mixing up Veterans day with Memorial day. I saw President Obama mix it up in a speech one memorial day. Not surprising since he grew up in Indonesia. Ive had...

    Happy Memorial Day (Early)

    Hi Karen, I dont feel that you really read my post. I also dont feel that you comprehended what I wrote? I never anywhere in my post claimed to speak for all Veterans. I said ...."I believe all the veterans you are trying to school on here know the difference between memorial day and veterans...

    Happy Memorial Day (Early)

    @ SETXExpSTGuy I believe all the veterans you are trying to school on here know the difference between memorial day and veterans day. Maybe some use it to remember the good things about people they have lost? Memorial day is for remembrance. Who declares it must be sorrow? All I can do for you...
